That actually speaks more to goof2's point, although I don't really think there's a causal relationship between the number of weapons at Starbucks and the fact that the two recent military base attacks didn't happen at Starbucks instead.

The Fort Hood shooting was a terrorist action, so Hasan's own base was the most "logical" target. Alexis is apparently just a nutjob, so in my complete layman's opinion, the attack would be most likely to happen in a place where he's most familiar (i.e. his workplace). In either case, there were overwhelming motivations to attack the base, relative to the motivations to attack some random Starbucks.

If you can get inside the gate (all you need is military or contractor ID), you will never find a bigger, softer target than a stateside US military base. As goof2 pointed out, ALL the weapons (in many cases even personal knives) are locked away in the armory and there is no concealed carry. So any attack will be met with a severely delayed response. In that respect, people on a military base have fewer means to defend themselves against firearm attacks than civilians on the outside. It is a perfect illustration of the "if guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns" cliche.

How about we talk about guns in this thread.

Damn skippy! What the fuck were we thinking, talking about a gun-related topic in a gun thread on a motorcycle forum?

Actual guns, not politics.

What lowers you get and where? Thinking about starting an AR build myself. Probably not looking for long range, more of a plinker 100 yard fun with a holo or something similar.

Do I want a Ruger MK III Hunter with fluted barrel or a Ruger 22/45 lite that's threaded? The difference is $60.00

Hunter:


22/45 lite:

Trip, I don't know if you are set on building (I would be) but CDNN has a couple DPMS AR-15 carbines for under $600.
