    We had a about 10 muzzle loaders we used for target shooting. Flintlock the most difficult (hard to keep focus after the puff of smoke in front of face) though none were too accurate, or maybe it was the shooter. :p

  2. I bought an MR762 and another P226 this week. I'll post pics when they transfer... going with a MilRad Trijicon TARS for the MR762 glass in a Spuhr 20MOA mount.

    Guns! I've never owned one. AFAIK, no one in my extended family has ever owned one. But I don't want my government telling me I can't.

    hey, what's your take on Ed Thorp's idea?

    'Another one is guns. Gun dealers make a lot of money, their clients go out and kill people, and society pays huge costs. Gun dealers don’t.

    Externalities are a good way to start analyzing problems. A lot of problems go away if you make people who distribute negative externalities pay the consequences. There’s a neat solution. Automobiles kill about 35,000 people a year. If you want to drive a car, you need a license, some training, and also insurance if your car does damage. People have to be accountable for their guns, just like cars. If your car is stolen, you are expected to report it. [What if it were the] same with guns? People wouldn’t be able to accumulate thousands of guns, because what insurance company will insure it? What do you think the insurance would be for an AR-15? It would be very high.'
