So something I was thinking:
So with the new ATF rule defining private sales as “engaged in the business”, I’m pretty sure that means that engaging in private sales is now justification for applying for an FFL. The ATF may have just gave the entire country the key to applying for their own FFL without owning a business.
What do you think?
Hope this isn't a dumb question. So what's actually the best handgun?
Not trying to get answers like "the one that's with you" or "the one you're most comfortable with". Many say Glock are the most reliable, many also say other pistols are superior. Many still say the 1911 is the best? idk. It's confusing when there's so many articles saying different things, so many damn models. Hammer or strike? So many damn brands, Beretta, Canik, CZ, Colt, DD, FN, Glock, H&K, Hi-Point, Kimber, S&W, Shadow Systems, SIG Sauer, Springfield, Staccato, Steyr, STI, Taurus, Walther... those are only all the ones I've personally read about.
Also are these pistols obsolete now? They are just some pistols I like based on looks: FN-57, FNX 45, CZ-75, CZ-SP01, Glock-17, SIG P226, H&K USP 45, H&K VP9, 1911, M9 Beretta
(Let's say purpose is to have fun and have the best performing pistol incase anyone asks)
I realize my autism (AS) and OCD could keep me from getting through registration. However, even if I don't... it would be good to have an understanding of the process. I first got a curiousity when a friend of mine showed me his ear protection for the firing range.
I also gotten into anime last year. Admittedly I am not physically fit enough to learn MMA. At least not enough to be in a boxing ring. Recently I been looking into either guns for sport or archery. Mind you I really would be cool with just the firing range. Having a gun for self protection is a big reason as well.
From what I understand. Its ideal to get into a "FireArm safety" class. Then get registered to own a gun. I am not in any hurry due to my current hobby in music is taking a lot of my spare money right now. My first question is on my disability in autism. Most notebly I am on the higher functioning part of the spectrum. I can operate large tools and I have a driverse license.
"Will my disability still prevent me from owning a firearm?"
What are the rules regarding protecting yourself/family/home against intruders?
I’ve seen multiple stories where the victim is in trouble after discharging their firearm towards intruders.
Reddit, does anyone know this manufacturer as well as the gun model. Bought this exact gun at a gun show but ended up trading it for a fox body. Haven’t nt been able to find the manufacturer for it i want to buy another one exactly like it. Bought the gun and never fired it since it was traded for the foxbody.
Rattle can. Light will be moved to bayonet mount. Hate it or love it?
Wow. Just wow. $930 for a Mosin?!?
My buddy is looking for a lighter trigger for his 1911, I was wondering what's the lightest he can go without it being illegal in Illinois.
It's really cool living 20 minutes away from where they originally designed and again manufacture a very iconic firearm with a cool history. I think everyone here would like a Desert Eagle in their collection if they don't already have one.
I called a day ago and I was told "It is still under review by your PD". If I call back, what else could they say if it moves forward or gets denied etc. Sent to State Police? Is the PD review that longest part? (MASSACHUSETTS)
Been working on my weight loss this year and and set up a milestone system for it. Every 20lbs, I buy a new gun. I'm currently down 60 lbs and have acquired an AR57, Jericho FS9, and a Dagger. I was wanting a Jakl for my next firearm, but I've heard a lot of good things about the Sabres and wanted an AR-15 for home defense. Problem is that there's a $400 difference between the two and so could easily buy some good ammo with the leftover money from a Sabre.
"But why not just buy the other one later?"
Because I will only have two more milestones to go and want a TS12 and M1014. Please help me decide!
Also, can you still buy them? I looked on Magpul-dot-com but couldn’t find any.
So I just ordered a Holosun 407k X2 for my G48 mos. I’ve heard that the screws that come with them are prone to sheering/ failing from recoil. How common of an issue is this and if it is common, what aftermarket screws should I get?
For context, I’ve lived in Wales my whole life and I’ve only been to the states for about a month on work. A lot of my friends think that mass shootings are like a constant threat to people in the United States. I didn’t really have any trouble and I don’t think America is as brutal as some of the people I’m around think it is. Thoughts?
So Tractor Supply Co has their Stack-On 18 Gun Cabinet on sale Model: GCM-1918-DX Sportsman’s will price match. Same model number, yet there are differences in 2 missing half shelves, 3 point vs 4 point locking system, and I’ve heard when buying from TAC, you don’t get a registration number or anything like that (if that’s important).
I’m just looking for which one is better. Keep in mind they will be the same price at checkout.
Here’s the links:

Thank you!! 🙏
I want to find some gun posters online to print them, but I don't know where to find them, about soviet weapons, GIGN, 9SAS, SEALS, etc.
