Looks like I am consolidating calibers again. Letting my PS90 and PSA Rock 5.7 go.

I had reached out to the ATF asking about when I'll receive the email with the cover letter and I finally got a reply on Saturday confirming I need to wait for it to reach submitted status, and now this morning my status changed to submitted and I got the email.

Coincidence?

Person that responded probably went to check your status and fixed whatever was holding it up.


Son’s Mass Effect inspired Platypus arrived today.

Quick update. Grip gets slippery after sweating for awhile. Gotta rethink this chainlink pattern. Glad he opted for the finger grooves.

We went through 6 different shooters today with it and only shot 500 rds. All using OEM Glock mags with various baseplates and stock baseplates. No issues at all. Everything fed and shot fine. Ammo today was Winchester USA9NATO 9mm 124gr FMJ.

Tomorrow night, my son and I will run 500 rounds through it. 300 rds of Federal 147gr FMJ and 200 rounds of Federal 147gr HST-JHP.

Form 1 came back so installed the 13in barrel and swapped out the LPVO for an Acog/RMR combo. My favorite setup so far

I can't have one of those. If I was to salt shoot the rare fly or moth that gets in the house the cats would riot and pillage. Living things are THEIRS.

What sling are you running?
I'm not completely content with my sling set up on my SCAR, like I am with my AR.

Your SCAR sling configuration looks like it would meet my intent better than mine does now.

I just went with the Magpul MS1 and used paracord for the front sling loop. I'd checkout PMM's QD attachments for Scar. Then you could use the Magpul MS4 or a similar sling with QD points.

Awesome! Thanks for sharing.

No idea what point that article is trying to make. If it is that the 2nd A doesn't infer an individual right it fails miserably. Having just won a war of attrition against a government of tyranny via ordinary people using weapons they own to gain freedom it is clear they meant to maintain that power in the hands of the people. Not some other government controlled entity.

The intent was clear as are ALL of the BORs. The entire BORs was written and appended to the constitution because many of the states would have refused to join the USA had there not been specific limits placed on the federal government. One of which was the right to keep the power to replace that government if it oversteps its bounds. Note these were not rights granted to the people. These were recognized and put off limits to government control.

I also always get a kick out of those who say "well they didn't anticipate weapons that fired that many times a second". Actually, they did. But regardless of it they did or not they DID NOT anticipate the internet and TV which still use the protection of freedom of the press etc. Technology changes - concepts remain.

And always funny when someone says no one needs an AR15. Actually, it is exactly what the founders would have had in mind. The concept that hunting had anything to do with the 2nd A is one of the most duplicitous arguments from the left. The 2nd A is specifically so the PEOPLE have weapons of war in their possession to resist tyranny.

One may argue that it won't work now. It is an interesting debate. But it would need to have a constitutional amendment to make banning guns legal. Get an amendment removing the 2nd from the constitution and THEN pass new laws banning some types of weapons. That would be the honest approach to any gun control.

Mods, if this is inappropriate feel free to delete.

That, I believe, would definitely lead to a hot civil war.

I do not believe it will happen in my life time. Course at my age I don't buy really green bananas.

I don't know... Newscum is already starting the process and he'll get NY, NJ & IL, at least, behind him.

Pretty sure it takes 2/3s of congress to approve constitutional amendments. No way they are close to that.

Unless he can get (I believe) 3/4 of the states. IMHO, that's a much higher mountain to climb.

I got a Rem .22 for Christmas when I was 12.
I got a Mossberg 500 combo 12 when I turned 18.

What are the chances those serial numbers were kept somewhere the gov could access and then know I have weapons, were 2A removed?

RElated, when we cleaned out the closet this weekend in anticipation of demolition, I found an un-opened 100 box of shells. Shelf life?

AZ doesn't have a statute for Negligent Discharge?

I've gone thru so much salt with my Bug. Any time I sit outside I have it on my lap. For some weird reason, not as many people show up for our outdoor BBQs and more

[Llarry]

But what about the "well-regulated militia" verbiage in the 2A?

I'm not some "ban all the guns" liberal BTW: I qualified in the M14 in 1966 at Marine Corps OCS in Quantico. During my 25-year Navy career I had minimal contact with firearms; I did, however, enjoy watching the USS New Jersey fire her 16" main battery and also enjoyed watch the Navy 20mm Vulcan CIWS fire.

While I personally feel the personal ownership of "assault rifles" (AR-15 and the like) is ridiculous, I do understand that the reality is that there are a lot of Americans who feel very differently. My opinion is that the 2A is adequate as written but has been unfortunately interpreted. While I understand that is unpopular in this thread, I suspect quite a few citizens agree with me. Many key judges do not. And I agree that a new amendment clarifying or restricting gun ownership has a snowball's chance in hell.

As others have said the point of the 2A is for people to have the means/ability to stand up to a tyrannical government, as our founding fathers had just done. I doubt the “well regulated” verbiage in the 2A would refer to the government’s ability to regulate. That would defeat the purpose. The 2A also states “the right of the people”, not the right of the militia. At least that's my uneducated opinion

"Militia" was all able bodied (citizen) males between certain ages. The "militia" was in lieu of a standing army, which our founders detested.
