Anything you could want to know about guns or related subjects (It's like Wikipedia for your boomstick) - 5,722 pages as of Thursday, April 25, 2024.
If it's about guns, gun rights, gun grabbers or any other related subject, sooner or later it's going to be here. Whether it's sniper rifles, shotguns, WWII arms, ammunition or anything else, we're out there scrounging up anything and everything that we can find. Yes, this is something of an ambitious (some would say impossible) project but we're not quitting until we have it all in one place. Have a look around and see some of what our contributors have put together so far.
Despite how the media and politicians try to frame it, the divide is not one of liberal versus conservative, left versus right, or even urban versus rural. It is simply a conflict between rational thinking people who can draw their own conclusions based on something other than media sensationalism, and those who are fearful and need swift, inaccurate and inefficient action to momentarily abate their fears until another news story or political gambit stirs them up like a nest of cowardly wasps. The registry is today, and always has been, about fear-based politics—not public safety. - Johnathan Ryan

Did you know?
With over 7,000,000 sold, the Remington 870 holds the record for the best-selling shotgun in US history, but has not matched the longevity of the Winchester model 12 (which was produced for over 90 years)
Though the US Navy was offered the design a year or two later, they declined and the American Bethlehem Steel spent the next five years in trying to circumvent Welin's patent, before having to buy it through Vickers.
The Welin breech was a single motion screw, allowing it to be operated much faster than previous interrupted-thread breeches, and it became very common on Anglo-American large calibre naval artillery and also field artillery above about 4.5 inches (110 mm).
