"It's fine to offer lobotomized magazines for those states that need them, but not at the price of interfering with offering the right thing to Constitution-abiding states."

"Our tax dollars being wasted... BTW, there's a difference between effective range as in "you have a decent chance of hitting an xyz target" and range as in "someone might get hurt at this range".  For example, one of…"

"11 rounds of 9 mm in a pocket size gun?  That sounds fabulous."

"Wow, what's that?  An unusually large Casull?  A revolver chambered in .50 BMG?  :-)"

"That sounds like one heck of a nice lathe... what model is it?"

"I like 6, 7, 10.  #9 does not appeal -- the reason is "who cares about the cartridge feeding?"  It mentions an engineer's geek thing, not a user benefit.  #7 does name the user benefit. As for Dick's suggestion of…"

"Christian is one of my all time favorite critters.   Sweden, eh?  Home of some amazing inventors.  Boberg and Johanson, now that's a nice pair of names."

"More on that topic: when in recent years two prominent politicians (Ayaan Hirsi Ali and Geert Wilders) were faced with floods of death threats, the response was to hide them under guard (in army bases or worse).  The notion that they might go…"

"I'm an immigrant from Holland, but I don't know much about the subject.  I guess that is an answer in a way.  I emigrated at age 17, after growing up in a small rural town. I ran into BB guns at fairs, but apart from that never…"
