FYI - You can add on magnification.I ordered one of these...should come while I'm gone at CES.

I was wondering about that...figured it may be an inside joke or something.

Here we go...talking gun buybacks. They can suck it. http://washingtonexaminer.com/sen.-feinstein-suggests-national-buyback-of-guns/article/2516648#.UNs7hJiRMT4 What a joke - show of hands - who can't refuse giving up their SAR for $500?

Better make the 2013

To burn for heat! I got a rock. Actually I got a call from my son in Afghanistan which was a great present in itself. Although he's telling me his team is patroling the roads between provinced in armored vehicles daily which worries me.

A+ so far. I was there buying when it was choas after the CT shooting and the guys there still took the time to offer good customer service. The place is spotless and bright and they have a decent selection. They definitely have room for more stuff though. One criticism is that they may need more staff if the buying frenzy doesn't abate.

I like!

Thinking about picking one of these up - anyone have experience with them? They seem very well received from what I can find..http://www.mylucidgear.com/reddot.php http://www.defensereview.com/lucid-hd7-red-dot-sight-with-auto-brightness-reticle-capability-best-close-quarters-battle-cqb-combat-optic-under-500/ http://www.riflescopes.webyshops.com/Tech-Talk/Product-Reviews/Lucid-HD7-Review-From

Its not unusual for people die from the anaesthesia and allergic reactions.

I think you mean seaman BTW - looks like you are at Ft Campbell, my son is based there (101st) but is currently in Afghanistan.

Here's my virgin...

..and magazines too

Are you talking about magazines? They were asking $25 for mags and not even magpuls. There's a big demand for the 30 round one because people are worried they'll be outlawed.

Cripes, a good friend of mine lives in Wentzville. Now, he owns some serious hardware including a .50 cal Barrett. Besides, we aren't arguing...just have an intelligent, healthy discussion.

If auto fatalities were the benchmark against which all other forms of fatalities were measured then I'd agree with the above. Also, heart disease, cancer, chronic lower respiratory diseases, and stroke all cause more deaths annually - why aren't they listed? Because the chart is intended to influence the reader against guns in some form or fashion. Granted, those listed are illnesses/diseases that aren't necessarily a choice for those impacted but all can either be avoided, mitigated or treated to minimize fatalities. Too bad they lump all accidents together...murder doesn't even rank in the top 10. http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/lcod.htm Heart disease: 599,413 Cancer: 567,628 Chronic lower respiratory diseases: 137,353 Stroke (cerebrovascular diseases): 128,842 Accidents (unintentional injuries): 118,021 Alzheimer's disease: 79,003 Diabetes: 68,705 Influenza and Pneumonia: 53,692 Nephritis, nephrotic syndrome, and nephrosis: 48,935 Intentional self-harm (suicide): 36,909

Have you stopped in Point Blank yet? As of the other day, they had not jacked up their prices on SARs and said they were getting more in almost daily.

I offered a guy $30 ea for 5 pmags he had...he mailed me back and said people are offering $50 plus. He can shove them up his ass for that price.

I'm a little late but this is a poor comparison IMO. First, auto accident deaths have declined because cars continue to be made safer...not so much for guns/ammo. It has little to do with the competence/intent of people behind them. The first dip is around '91 when they passed the air bag law and manufacturers starting putting them in cars (not mandatory until '98). The drop in 2008 is largely attributed to gas prices and the fact that people drove less as a result. Secondly, this measures deaths. It doesn't discern between accidents and purposeful events. Obviously, most car related deaths are accidents, not intentional. Gun ownership has increased at a greater rate than car ownership so it stands to reason that accidental deaths from firearms would rise commensurately. I don't hear a lot of people up in arms about people accidentally shooting themselves. I can compare the death rates for autos against deaths from scuba diving or skiing or slipping in the shower. They are all unrelated other than a death occurred. This is simply a way to present unrelated data in a way that the average person would look at and say wow, we have a problem. People are sheep. Most can't figure the tax on a candy bar much less digesting the information presented on a graph in a deeper way other than saying "yep, one line goes up and one line goes down".

OK, but then the UK is significantly lower than the US, not higher. Again, not arguing because I totally agree with the overall point you are trying to make but this comparison statistic doesn't work for the US/UK. Of course, they are a smaller population and have less opportunity but it doesn't change the ratio.

Uhm...not arguing or anything (I didn't check the links on my phone) but two of your statistics are per 100,000 and one is per 1,000,000. Typo?

Happy birthday Todd...damn near an Xmas baby!

Seriously, WTF is wrong with people??? http://todaynews.today.com/_news/2012/12/21/16051227-rossen-reports-scammers-try-to-exploit-connecticut-shooting?lite

I own 2 small businesses, I have no signs and I have not heard this.

I thought it was going to be Merry Christmas or Happy Hanukkah, Kwanza, etc
