Want to see how Facebook censors information, corroborates with other platforms and tracks its users? Watch Zuckerberg squirm when questioned by Senator Hawley (R-Mo) about FB's programs and applications.  Go straight to the 7:00 mark.

Just saw an email ad from Buds for the Carcano M91/24 TS Rifle for $249.

The TS stands for "Truppe Special" or Special Troop. These were purportedly used by the Italian Carabinieri and is chambered in 6.5 Carcano (6.5x52mm).

I love old stuff but getting one often means adding more reloading dies and supplies to my collection in order to shoot these things. 

This rifle interests me but I know very little about it. Are these C & R rifles underpriced at $249 or that what its worth? Is ammo readily available and if so, how expensive is it?

I think the video would have been more effective if it discussed gun murder rates rather than just murder rates.

The definitive video on effective stopping power of handgun calibers? Maybe not but there is enough information in the video to incapacitate the viewer with 100% consistency.

I've already demonstrated in a previous post that the stopping power of a 9mm Glock is a myth.

CDC Reports that studies that directly assessed the effect of actual defensive uses of guns (i.e., incidents in which a gun was 'used' by the crime victim in the sense of attacking or threatening an offender) have found consistently lower injury rates among gun-using crime victims compared with victims who used other self-protective strategies. ... Almost all national survey estimates indicate that defensive gun uses by victims are at least as common as offensive uses by criminals, with estimates of annual uses ranging from about 500,000 to more than 3 million per year, in the context of about 300,000 violent crimes involving firearms in 2008. Criminologist and researcher Gary Kleck, using his own commissioned phone surveys and number extrapolation, estimates that Americans use guns for defensive purposes 1.2 million times each year — and that 1 in 6 Americans who have used guns defensively believe someone would have died but for their ability to resort to their defensive use of firearms.

CDC also reported t hat the 1994 Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act (Brady Act) imposing a 5-day waiting period had no effect in the reduction in homicides.

I'm looking for an excuse to buy a new toy...oops, I mean a tool to fabricate reloading components.  Seems to me that you can fabricate a lot of reloading tools and components with a metal mini lathe.  I've seen people make bullet sizing dies from  7/8-14 stock and even turn down the surface of shell holders to bump the case shoulder further back.  Does anyone own and/or use one for reloading?

I just place an order for a set of NOE Expander Plugs for a couple of rifles that I shoot with lead cast bullets. My intention is to expand the case necks to match the diameter of the cast bullet after sizing instead of seating it after expanding the case necks using the standard Lee expander ball that comes with the FL resizing die. The NOE plugs I ordered are sized to give me .002 neck retention so there should be minimal crush or resizing of the cast bullet when the bullet is seated.  Has anyone used the NOE Plugs or something similar?

Looks like NRA has filed suit challenging the constitutionality of Florida's new gun law restricting sales of firearms to anyone under 21 years of age.
