... you end up spending a lot of money

Routh, who has a lengthy criminal record from North Carolina, frequently posted about politics and exclusively donated to Democratic candidates and causes dating back to 2019.

He also bashed Trump in an April 22 post on X in which he declared, “DEMOCRACY is on the ballot and we cannot lose.”

“DEMOCRACY is on the ballot and we cannot lose,” he wrote, a similar slogan commonly used by President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris. 

“We cannot afford to fail,” Routh continued. “The world is counting on us to show the way.”

For me it's 16 gauge.

Took these little guys with me today. They haven't visited the range in quite some time. The CZ is my favorite of this lineup

Found this at the local hardware store. Usually I would pass this by and never pay attention to this but.... ma, there is no discernable difference between the to stickers except the message.

Looking on Amazon for a rear sight elevator to fix my kids's Red Ryder, I noticed there's a few dirt cheap knockoffs of Magpul Mbus sights. Like $25 for a gen 3-style front/rear set, $20 for gen 2.

Does anyone have real world experience with these? On one hand, it's Amazon sights, so... but on the other I hear good things about those knockoff sba3 style bike handle bars.

Edit: I'm not looking for advice or to buy any. I just noticed that they existed and wanted real-world feedback, as I don't trust reviews on Amazon.

Also, I don't usually fuck with GAFS. You have to watch it like a hawk. Otherwise, it's a wall of people calling dibs. I don't have time for that.

Looking for opinions on it.

I’m a woman looking to buy a gun for the first time. This is solely for self defense (I live alone), so it will spend most of its time in a drawer at home. I know nothing about guns and the number of options online is overwhelming. Could anyone provide suggestions?

I will take lessons to learn to shoot it once I buy it but don’t have enough free time to go to ranges and try out a bunch of different guns before deciding on one to buy, so I’m hoping some experienced gun owners can provide enough guidance for me to make a decision.

If it matters, I am very petite and have little to no upper body strength. I’ll pay what’s necessary to get something that’s high quality and effective, but I’d like to avoid something that breaks the bank if possible (less than $1,000). Just need something good enough to get the job done on the off chance that I ever have to use it.

Im kinda new to long guns. Just wondering, is the M&P able to fit a grip on the bottom or a flashlight on the side? If not, how would I go about attaching those? Thanks!

Got my Safariland in for my G19 yesterday. Found this to be a bit humorous

What would be a possible estimated value of this Mauser 30.06 with a K98 bolt action, bull barrel, and an English rosewood stock? I know its probably impossible to tell since there is alot of variables, but I'm just curios to know a rough estimate. Thanks!

I found this hand gun at the bottom of lake in Alaska while fishing. Unfortunately when I got into the boat, the barrel broke off.

I’m interested in finding out how old it is and what the manufacturer and the model are.

Any help from a knowledgeable person would be great.

Did not producing a lever action in 357 max kill the cartridge? Also aside from the brass for the Max would there be any benefit from a modern lever gun in that chambering especially if it could fire Magnums and 38s?

I havent test fired it yet beyond popping a primer

I'm wanting to buy an AR upper from PSA, but I live in maryland and the upper I'm buying has a pin welded flash hider on a 13.7" barrel. Is it possible to purchase it, and have it shipped to a gun shop or FFL out of state and then I can pick up. Genuinely wondering here because I'm not seeing anything saying I can't, but I dont want to accidentally fuck myself.

These belong to a family friend who has had them sitting in storage for decades. They belong to her late husband and we're probably purchased in the 60s. She would like to get rid of them. Can she sell them or give them away? We have no idea if they are registered or what laws need to be followed, considering how long ago they were purchased and that the original owner has passed. Any basic advice would be much appreciated!

My father passed away last year and my mother wanted me to go through their storage unit to see if there was anything of his that I wanted. Buried all the way in the back under boxes I found a gun case with an older rifle in it. I asked my mother about it and she had forgotten all about it. she does not want it in her home or the unit.

Can I just take ownership of it? Do I need to fill out any kind of form? Would my mother be the owner now? Would I need her to fill out any forms?

Looks like HK is bringing production to the US!
