Here's another laugher from the media.

http://finance.yahoo.com/news/beretta-super-rifle-104303433.html

Beretta's website carried an announcement that the ARX100 is "shipping now." Beretta markets the rifle as "Italian Design -- American Built." Regardless of its origins, the gun is unusually powerful.

Umm...no more so than any other rifle chambered for exactly the same cartridge.

Hey man, the LR stands for Long Rifle, which would clearly be more powerful that the short one, so obviously that'd have to be the case...right?

Since when did the standard 5.56x45mm become "unusually powerful"?

Wait, is this another chitbag liberal spouting nonsense on a left-wing rag of a Website?

I'm convinced the reason we have such issues with guns and alcohol is because we don't teach kids to respect either. If a child understands from a young age what guns are for and what the dangers of them are and... I dunno.. Educate them... Maybe we can fix some problems with "incidental gun violence" or whatever bull crap they said on that article.

Liberal minds are all for "education" as long as it fits their control agenda.

Agreed. My son will be taking hunters education course. Whether he hunts or not. Just to open his eyes. He has already joined a shooting club at school. (7th grade) and has gotten petty good with his 22. His next step will be the new AR a friend built for me.

He's getting off easy. I learned on a browning A-5. :)

EMILY MILLER: Federal judge rules DC ban on gun carry rights unconstitutional

EMILY MILLER: Federal judge rules DC ban on gun carry rights unconstitutional

A federal judge in the District of Columbia on Saturday overturned the city’s total ban on residents being allowing to carry firearms outside their home, declaring the law “unconstitutional” in a landmark decision for gun-rights activists.

Judge Frederick Scullin Jr. wrote in his ruling in Palmer v. District of Columbia that the right to bear arms extends outside the home, therefore gun-control laws in the nation’s capital are “unconstitutional.”

“We won,” Alan Gura, the lead attorney for the plaintiffs, told Fox News in a phone interview. “I’m very pleased with the decision that the city can’t forbid the exercise of a fundamental constitutional right.

Gura said he expects the District to appeal this decision but added, “We’ll be happy to keep the fight going.”

The decision leaves no gray area in gun-carrying rights.

Judge Sculin extensively referenced the Supreme Court decisions in District of Columbia v. Heller (2008) and McDonald v. Chicago (2010) to concluding “there is no longer any basis on which this court can conclude that the District of Columbia's total ban on the public carrying of ready-to-use handguns outside the home is constitutional under any level of scrutiny.”

The court ordered the city to now allow residents from the District and other states to carry weapon within its boundaries.

Judge Scullin wrote that the court “enjoins Defendants from enforcing the home limitations of [D.C. firearms laws] unless and until such time as the District of Columbia adopts a licensing mechanism consistent with constitutional standards enabling people to exercise their Second Amendment right to bear arms.”

The defendants are the city government and Police Chief Cathy L. Lanier.

This case has dragged in the courts for five years. Gura has twice asked the federal appeals court to force Judge Scullin to issue a decision. The five plaintiffs filed in 2009, and the case was argued twice, most recently in Oct. 2012.

George Lyon, a D.C. resident and registered gun owner is one of the plaintiffs in Palmer.

“I am gratified that after a long wait our right to protect ourselves and our families has been vindicated,” Lyon, a lawyer, said Saturday.

He urged Mayor Vincent Gray, a Democrat, and the Democrat-controlled City Council to “swiftly enact a concealed carry law that protects the rights of law abiding citizens to protect themselves.”

Gray and D.C. City Council Chairman Phil Mendelson did not respond immediately for a request for comment.

My dad did the same with my brother and me. He told me even if you're not interested in doing any hunting with me and your brother, you're still going through it.

I'm a liberal. I own a lot of firearms and have taken the hunters safety course. Guess what? I have never called my representatives and complained about guns. So would you please stop using "liberals" as a derogatory word when you speak on things of this nature. Every educated person knows that blanket statements never hold weight in arguments.

Maybe you should say the section of our population that just doesn't get why people have to own a device that kills other things. Those people are sometimes liberals, conservatives, women, and men. Please just stop with the miss guided hate.

I do agree with your point. We don't educate our children about them enough at all. That's why when kids do drink they end up binge drinking and acting like fools. Kinda like that saying about preachers and their daughters.
