Whoever is elected to the White House this November is expected to appoint two or three new members of the Supreme Court-- justices who will be making major decisions affecting the future of American society, long after that president is gone.
Your children will be living during the lifetime tenure of those justices, and your grandchildren will be living in a world shaped by the precedents that those justices set.
In a year when dissatisfaction has been expressed by both Democrats and Republicans with the presidential candidates chosen by their own parties, it is worth keeping in mind the high stakes involved in judicial appointments-- and therefore in presidential elections.

Ok guys, my beloved Springfield Armory has stumped me. My Dad is looking at two different guns and wants to know the difference. Problem is, ever since Springfield Armory went to that crappy flash only website, it has been nearly impossible to search their site.
Both guns look identical, both are completely as they were when they left the factory, except for being fired, both have all the same features. So the question is: what is the difference.
One is model number P X 9802L

This verdict is incredible. Unless there is something about this fellow we’re not seeing, this case makes no sense whatsoever. Why didn’t the NRA or the NSSF step up to the plate to defend this guy? A good expert witness could have convinced the jury that a malfunction should not make someone a criminal, only intent should be the litmus test.
If this stands, the AR-15 and most other semi-auto firearms (most of which will ma... more
Before finally breaking down and buying one, I had many doubts about my ability to conceal a full size 1911, much less being able to carry one tucked in under a casual shirt.
Seems like the more I read over various forums, the more I run across people like me that think a 1911 is too much gun to carry day in and day out. That’s what led me to create this thread, proving that a 1911, even a 5 inch, is one of the most concealable weapons on the market. Concealability boils down to *thi... more
