That is why handguns were invented.

You can still use both, if you insist. :D

When you said "sharps", I thought you were going old school on me.

I was giving him a (deserved) hard time, JFTFOI. I get the feeling he hasn't kept up with the latest fads in CQB hand tools; e.g. the 'hawks, adaptive breaching tools, and various over-sized choppers that are currently supplementing the guys' firearms load-out down range. Almost all of it is positively medieval. Some of it makes battle axes and war hammers look tame. :D

NICS Checks Show Gun Purchases Strong in 2014
 
http://www.nraila.org/news-issues/ar...g-in-2014.aspx

Thus far in 2014, there have been 8.33 million checks for the purchase of firearms, compared to 8.29 million for the same period in 2012, and smaller numbers in previous years.

The number of checks will grow by a major number if the statists get their wishes for universal background checks and eliminate the right to conduct a transfer of private property among free men.

See my post here. I hate it as much as you but here's the portion relevant to what you're speaking of:

Quote:

Certain other temporary transfers of a firearm would also not require a background check. These include temporary transfers between spouses, and temporary transfers for use at a shooting range, in a competition, or for performances. A temporary transfer to a person under age eighteen for hunting, sporting, or education would not require a background check. Other temporary transfers for lawful hunting also would not require a background check.

Some good news for a change - complete article at link below.

Growing Public Support for Gun Rights
More Say Guns Do More to Protect Than Put People at Risk


Pew Research:

"For the first time in more than two decades of Pew Research Center surveys, there is more support for gun rights than gun control. Currently, 52% say it is more important to protect the right of Americans to own guns, while 46% say it is more important to control gun ownership.

Support for gun rights has edged up from earlier this year, and marks a substantial shift in attitudes since shortly after the Newtown school shootings, which occurred two years ago this Sunday."

It's also nice to know that the level of "sheeple" in the United States is dropping.

Or that demographic was too busy rioting to participate in the poll.
