• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Too Bad That'll It'll Never Get Out Of The Senate...

As suggested in many NRA articles, I have attempted to have frank discussions with many people (reasonable ones) who are either on the fence or anti gun. It's amazing how many feelings and opinions are influenced and enforced by lies and non truths that are told over and over. When given facts and figures, many develop different opinions than originally believed.

There is hope, things seem to be changing for the better. Now if we could address the people with issues that are being ignored by our government (to save some money), maybe we could reduce the amount of tragic ocurrences these people commit.
If the NRA is your source of information, it's you that needs to be exposed and open to reasonable arguments from the other perspective I think. nojoke
 
One source of many, and I am. I just admitted to that. Please don't assume.
Just when I thought someone was becoming very reasonable.

You can buy all the parts to assemble a gun over the internet EXCEPT THE RECIEVER. It is considered the firearm and must be transferred through a licensed dealer. It is legal for a person to build his own gun. If one has the mechanical ability to machine the receiver, it is legal. Most people do not have the ability ore the machines.
 
Like a "private" party being able to sell guns to anybody, even in places like gun shows, without ANY checks at all.
Then there is the ability to order an entire gun one piece at a time with no restrictions.[/QUOTE]

me thinks you are off in your above post... all the gun shows I have attended in Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas the vendors HAVE TO DO CHECKS WITH ATF ... and some parts of a gun you can buy with any check... but if you buy a lower receiver for a rifle, shotgun a ATF check is necessary...

too bad

Believe it or not: HIPPA regulations are the culprit... :gaah:
Allow Law Enforcement Agencies the opportunity to look into a person's mental health history, and you'll catch an awful lot of the problems! :thumbup:

The only time this information is available, as it should be, is if someone has been involuntary committed by a probate judge to treatment for their mental illness.

To be the devils advocate, perhaps we should lift HIPPA regulations so that we can screen for those with hypertension, diabetes or heart failure as unsafe conditions to allow purchase and ownership of a firearm.

It is a very slippery slope when you want to lift HIPPA to deny a select class of individuals from purchase or ownership of most anything; firearms, contraceptives, morning after contraception or most anything else you might consider limiting someone's right to purchase or own.

I am not anti gun, but the carnage in this "world leader" of a country that we live in is absolutely atrocious. No on complains other than about the cost of new safer automobiles that are lowering highway death rates and saving the lives of their occupants. Will stop now and wait for the flaming to begin.

"Slippery slop"?

So is NOT dealing with giving the decision-makers the necessary information to make correct assessments of a person who want to buy a firearm. nojoke

I'm all for personal freedom and privacy. I just want my family and friends to have the freedom from living in fear, and the right to keep criminals (and the criminally insane) out of their private homes. :2thumbs:
