Re: What is the current Japanese battle rifle?
Wow, what a contrast to Germany, which has since rearmed and maintains a military, albeit a vastly reduced one, and has its own weapons development program. I wonder how much the philosophical (which translates in to the political) difference has anything to do with Japan's having been nuked, while...

Okay, the usual disclaimers apply: I know nothing except my name, rank, and serial #, and there have been time when I haven't exactly been too sure about all of those ...

Re: Turn in your Neighbor for $1000 - Newark, NJ
On the other hand, when you see a crime in progress, don't you call 911? He did specify "illegal" guns. What about Neighborhood Watch programs? Citizens watching out for each other and reporting problems. Some times it is good when people don't simply "mind their own business." ...

Re: Turn in your Neighbor for $1000 - Newark, NJ
I guess I am weird but I don't see a problem with the program. I see it being abused by gang members getting revenge on their opposition but the basic program is not illegal or immoral. Whatever happened to minding your own business? I feel it is fairly immoral to attempt to set up citizens to watc...

Re: mossberg and weatherby shotguns
Nothing against semi-automatics, but don't discount a pump action shotgun. I find that I can get off a second ACCURATE shot with a pump about as fast as the guys with the autoloaders. Often they shoot before they have really lined up their second shot, and waste the ammo. Plus, if you keep it at hom...
