Easy to do in a small, mostly homogeneous, wealthy society.

Kinda like when Americans cite Norway as a reason socialism would work in the US.

And even easier to do in a country where most of the world's banks are located. For this reason alone "they" need an armed citizenry (to protect the banks - not the people). As the saying goes, "rules for thee but not for me".
PS:
America is a big country, and it's been done here. Not that the U.S. is a wealthy society, and it's definitely not homogeneous.

Any of you guys got anything that could reach the Russian Foreign minister?

Despicable man.

I'm American and own plenty of firearms…

All I'm saying is that those Swiss positives will never be recognized in the US. We have a people problem, not a "gun violence" problem. I'm fairly certain Switzerland won't ever see such issues based upon what I posted earlier. The rest of those positives are due to their conscription laws and subsequent required training.

Can't we just show each other our firearms without all of the political crap from this tool? Why haven't the mods took action yet? Can't one simply move on if they don't like what they see? My ignore list just grew by 100%.

An armed society is a polite society.

Sadly Washington state has fallen to the magazine ban, untraceable gun ban, and other bad stuff.

Well here's an MG Compilation to lighten the mood.

I had tried to figured out what kind of flip-up optics the guy had used at the MG3, hadn't find them but they are not stock installed, thats for sure

Florida based gunmaker KelTec donated $200,000 worth of their 9mm SUB2000 rifles to Ukraine. An Odessa, Ukraine based buyer of these firearms went dark after the invasion began so the company decided to do something about it.

Hope they can get through the ITAR red tape quickly.

Yes, 9mm is lethal. Actually. 22 kills more people than any other round. But they don't have the instant stopping force of the larger caliber ammo. I carry the .380 a lot. Less power than 9mm but same size bullet. Hollow tips. If i need to ever use it which i hope is never, it will be a double tap.

The 40 S&W is nice - all it is, is a short 10mm round, the Glock 10mm is too much to handle for most folks...

There are several agencies (I'm acquainted with) going back to 9mm because the magazine holds more rounds and a +P Gold dot or Hydrashok is quite effective.

But you're right, a well placed .22 short kills like a 45...

Very few of us are running .40 caliber handguns on duty for sure. Most have gone away from the .40. I'm glad we run 9mm.

.45ACP is because of Polynesians??

Are you sure you don't mean Moro Filipinos?

I'd love to hear how you like it. Was looking seriously at getting one for some coyote hunting. Went in a different direction but still want one.

Great carabin. Sorry for my little English, but for me the most important thing was - how it take aim in my hands. And in this regard, it turned out to be ideal for me, although the Benelli Argo is very good as well.
But the Benelli does not have such a beautiful tree as the Browning ))

Anyone run these magnetic gun holsters in their M3?

Example: https://amzn.to/3tV5FN2

Just wondering if any problems with hitting a bump or obstacle too hard the gun falls out of it?
