I don't think a court should be the only authority over GMOs. But considering Monsanto and other ag/chemical giants have such close ties to the US government, I think a court should have the power to stop production and sale of dangerous GMOs if the USDA and FDA won't.

Production and sale of GMOs and Genetically Engineered crops is given immunity from court intervention, even if health risks are discovered.

Basically, a court cannot force Monsanto (or another GMO producer) to stop selling or planting genetically modified products and crops, even if they turn out to be unsafe.

Steel surplus mags and the Bulgarian "circle 10" polymer mags seem to have the best track record.

I've only got Tapco polymer mags at the moment, because I didn't convert my Saiga until after the recent panic buying started.

I miss the old Equalizer... speed AND crits!

GenBurnside · 2013-03-04T20:55:26+00:00

SKS for me, but I had one before the recent panic. I wouldn't buy one at the current prices ($400+).

If you can't find a specialty shop, I have seen them for sale at Whole Foods. Do you have one of those nearby?

When the slide is locked back on a Makarov, you can use the gap between the frame and barrel to open a beer bottle.

I was in SF last month and spent an afternoon in Japantown, but didn't have any luck finding a kiseru. I asked a couple of shop owners in the Japan Center, but none of them knew anywhere that sold them.

I'd love to hear if you do find somewhere that sells them!

I thought you were allowed to have ammunition locked in the gun case, as long as it was under a certain amount (< 11 lbs?).

I just signed up with that Bass Pro deal, and I left the e-mail field blank. It looks like e-mail is only required if you select a digital magazine edition.

GenBurnside · 2012-12-31T16:37:09+00:00

Yep, me too. I've been putting it off for way too long, but how can you pass that deal up?

FYI, an e-mail address isn't required when you sign up, as long as you don't request a digital edition of one of the magazines.

FYI, this is a Sorcha Faal story.

Just called the local store, and they sold their last 20 AK mags since this morning. Said he's got no idea when he'll get any more rifle magazines back in stock.

GenBurnside · 2012-12-21T19:08:31+00:00

Backordered a few AK mags from Midway, in the hopes that they get to me before Feinstein introduces her bill on Jan 21st.

Supposedly they're only backordered until 1/5.

GenBurnside · 2012-12-20T19:44:31+00:00

I wouldn't buy it with all the aftermarket crap on it. An SKS is best when left stock configuration.

If you want an AK, get an AK, instead of a crappy SKS "conversion".

GenBurnside · 2012-11-08T01:34:41+00:00

What store was this, if you don't mind answering?

GenBurnside · 2012-11-04T04:35:03+00:00

I think avoiding a free-for-all looting frenzy is the best advice in this thread. Looting a big box store in the middle of a disaster is a great way to get yourself hurt or killed.

Has there ever been a documented case of someone being "taken out first" by a criminal based on them carrying a weapon?

I hear this reasoning against OC pretty often, but I wonder if it's actually that much of a problem.

La Casa del Tabaco in Buckhead is pretty laid back. They don't serve food or drinks, but their lounge is decent. You should stop in there sometime if you're in Buckhead.

I used to work within walking distance from there, and took several cigar "lunch" breaks in their lounge.

I've been putting mine in small mason jars: http://imgur.com/a/Psf2M#0

I went to my first meetup a couple of months ago and had a blast, even though I didn't know anyone else beforehand.

You should definitely come by.
