Happy Spooktober! Can you imagine anything more scary than an unregulated firearm industry?
I figured since we all love guns so much I'd enrich our collective knowledge by outlining some of the gun laws in America that are enforced by the wonderful and omnipotent Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives.
First off, y'all remember that whole alcohol prohibition thing that we tried a while back? Well, once everyone realized that prohibition of something does absolutely nothing to deter usage or production of the prohibited item, the government decided to just go ahead and keep spending untold billions on prohibiting things anyway.
After the 21st amendment repealed the 18th, the government had a bunch of people employed with no job to do. So naturally, they dissolved the various units and returned the unused tax dollars to the citizens. LMAO, no actually they decided to take all of those revenuers and turn them on to guns. Now that the government had created the problem of organized crime due to alcohol prohibition that absolutely totally worked trust me bro, they decided to prohibit certain firearms from reaching the general public through something called the National Firearms Act in 1934. They basically tried to prohibit fun guns from reaching the average joe through a series of hoops and taxes that law abiding people didn't want to go through. Since we all know that organized crime is fully deterred by laws, the NFA achieved the desired outcome of keeping dangerous guns out of the hands of dangerous criminals. oh wait, no it didn't. sorry.
After a few decades of everyone minding their own business, the FBI and CIA got together during the civil rights movement and decided they didn't want those people to own guns. After assassinating a few high profile leaders and a sitting president, someone finally started thinking about the children and passed the Gun Control act of 1968 which gave us many of the common sense restrictions we have today. Age of purchase, inventory logging, serial number requirements, etc.
After another couple of decades, the '90s gave us the Brady act, which mandates background checks on all FFL transactions, as well as the Assault Weapons Ban which dramatically reduced gun crime and deaths. Pay no attention that crime rates were steadily declining before 1994 and continued to decline after the sunset of the AWB. That reduction in crime rates was totally the result of a bill that reduced the amount of ammunition you can have in a magazine. Criminals always pay attention to laws and certainly wouldn't find a way around them.
Now that the BATFE had laws working in their favor, they could begin manipulating people into breaking those laws, then shooting their wives and children.
I won't go into all the details because most of you know them, but here are a few links for some light reading.
Hope this doesn't scare anyone too much.

You're like an inner city high school history teacher in that your class is a bunch of intoxicated people that are all carrying guns and knives and owe child support.
That said, i enjoyed your synopsis.
Child support? Is that what you call your monthly purchase of hoppes, new mags, and ammo?
I don't want your fuckin onlythots bullshit. Go slobber on an ole brown Bess's muzzle while you tickle her taint with your toes. That experience will blow your mind more than the bungholes you been lickin on.
Skynet terminate.
Asshole spammers got balls. Fuck it.
Skynet nuke these assholes.
We gave up the stars for this.
Gene Roddenberry would be sad at all this.
He'd be saddened by a lot of things right now probably...
The lack of a functional phaser would probably be the worst thing though.
I didn't read any of that. Stop putting in so much effort.
Take yer swing cocksucker
I wish a faggot would.
I'll summarize.
Government fucked up, fucked people over harder because of it, continue to fuck us now, fucked up further and will continue to fuck us harder due to incompetence.
Even the fbi agents ghosting this site and reading this have to agree with that one.
Thanks uncle scruffy. In other words, nothing ever changes.
What in the autistic fuck is this beautiful cursed suffering creature?
Kinky.
Replace the foregrip with a dildo and it will be ready for any situation.
Why did people abandon 7.62 Tokarev in handguns? It is a hot cartridge that just fucks and destroys. If a company made a modern style pistol that takes 7.62 Tokarev I would make it my carry gun
That sounds hot. I think the thing is, it wasn't made and isn't imported as much. So modern rounds like the 5.7 have supplanted it.
I'm seriously considering a ruger 5.7. I'm just trying to get over my brand snobbery. Even though i carry a Springfield hellcat a bunch. Ruger just seems kinda.....yeah.
Sir this is weekend gunnit we do not have standards
Does that mean I'm green lit to buy Tauruses again?
Polymer Ruger pistols are great guns if you enjoy shooting souless boring guns.
This. So much this.
I don't think i can bring myself to get the ruger 57. Even though the FN 5.7 is almost twice as much.
Though with the rising costs of beer, red meat and lubricant i doubt i can afford either.
This inflation, the ruskie ammo ban, batfeces tomfoolery...
I'm starting to take this personally. My poor guns are hungry, and my good AR is side eyeing the steel case I have.... It's hungry, but afraid...
I saw a FN 57 in a local gun shop. Overall i was not impressed with ergonomics of it. I would pass, but i may be a slight HK snob.
If HK could just fucking make something in a 10mm, life would be good. Or i may just do research and buy a couple USPs to make my own 10mm version.
On HK pro long, long ago there was a dude that had his USP 40 fullsize barrel bored out for a 10mm chamber. It worked as i recall.
Don't let your memes be dreams friend. Chase that 10mm dragon.
I think i read that post on there. I think the recipe is full size .40 frame, machine the barrel for the 2mm longer casing, and run a .45 slide. Ill do more research on it. Someday ill do this. I just really enjoy the snappyness of a 10mm cartridge.
Ive also been debating just buying a shit ton of Underwood .40 +P and calling it good enough.
I wish .357 sig had taken off more ya know? That was a cool round.
Is a 10mm PCC worth it or nah? And any recommendations?
Do you reload 10mm? Or are you crazy wealthy?
If you can feed it, don't let your memes be dreams fren.
As to reccomendations, if you want to go whole hog wealthy get an mp5 variant for maximum mid nineties FBI HRT nostalgia. Otherwise do what everyone does and get an AR that takes glock mags.
Just one autists take
10mm is an awesome round. if you can afford the ammo then go for it. As for recommendations, I don't have any experience with any PCC in 10mm. I carry a 10mm 1911 innawoods and love shooting it. If you're not loading your own pissin hawt bubba rounds, makes sure you're buying ammo that at least comes close to original specs. Most mass-market 10mm is just 40SW ballistics in a longer case.
CZ sort of reintroduced it with the 7.5 FK (7.5x27: 95 gr. @ 2000 FPS - 6" barrel). It is the closest dimensionally to the 7.62x25 and outperforms it across the board.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/7.5_FK
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/7.62%C3%9725mm_Tokarev
Looks like a cool cartridge and I checked prices for the bullets and it’s a rich person round
It's not a direct interchange. Bullet intentionally smaller so if put into 7.62x25 or 7.63 Mauser there will be lots of blowby to reduce pressure. 7.63 Mauser will fire in a 7.62x25 but may not cycle the action.
I fucking love opportunities to talk about how much i love the god damn Tokarev pistol. The x25 is such a beast cartridge. I wish S&B and Priv would get off their fucking respective Czech and Serbian asses and start producing more 7.62x25 rounds instead of trendy garbage so I could feed my fucking Romanian child. It is almost as if they want it to starve, those monsters.
Americans have 38 super and 357 SIG
I put a steisgenhammer brand 60rd mag in my assault rifle 15 and it fucked up the carrier: Why are krauts such assholes?
Something about 2 world wars comes to mind...
300 blk upper on my 556 lower, if the barrel is shorter do I have to do anything to the lower, or is it fine to fire?
lower doesn't affect function of upper. fire away
Probably not, but if you want to experiment with different ammo loads and run different types of gas systems, you might consider changing your buffer weight to mitigate recoil.
Not a hard fix, but I fucked up my latest build a bit.
I have a carbine length gas system with a rifle length buffer and spring. Adjustable gas block so I'm sure I can tune it in.
Am I going to destroy my BCG?
Armalite .556 with a 16" barrel. H2 buffer.
Your BCG will not suffer any nonstandard wear and tear. Buffer system length has virtually no effect on AR-15 operation (buffer weight, however, does), aside from barely perceptible differences in cyclic rate if you use a rifle tube buffer spring (which, depending on your spring system, you need not do).
Your rifle-length buffer tube will have a far more dramatic effect on ergos vis a vis your more limited buttstock options.
I ended up putting a carbine buffer on it because I already had a stock. Trying to keep it light. I think my first .556 build turned out alright. https://files.catbox.moe/2dzhf3.jpg
Still some work to be done. Appreciate it.
dat ban state stock tho . . . smh Hang in there, borther.
Lucky to live in only a semi retarded state. https://blog.cheaperthandirt.com/banned-guns/
I was thinking about a bear creek arsenal .308 upper for my PSA .308 lower.
Should i take a risk or just spend the money on mouthwash to get shitty on?
Recommend holding out for a mated lower or upper from one of your two manufacturers. Due to the non-standardization of AR-10-type rifles, you should mate uppers and lowers only from the same manufacturer.
You could also just fucking do it and post pics.
Mouthwash it is fren.
I have a few aero builds under my belt but I've heard dpms is a different animal. Do one of those.
I also have an aero lower that i want to build.
One thing that worries me though is how damn hard it is to find a 16inch .308 upper in stock when i have money.
I haven't gone shorter than 18" for this reason alone. Or maybe I have a penchant for heavy rifles.
I pieced together my uppers. Downside is that ya need a headspace gauge, upside is that you have a lot of extra parts/party favors lying around.
Serious qotd: if Australia went spicy, would an Australian boog be called a goob? Or would it even be possible for our to be called a boog since they didn't have a first time?
And also, how many days would it take for the Emus to win against the gov, the Crocs, and the snakes?
It's been demonstrated that defeating the nu British govt of prison island can be accomplished with pointy beaks and incomprehensible hooting.
