Why 33 rounds makes sense in a defensive weapon

Actually what it boils down to Archetype is you are a gun lover, and I have issues with the NRA/gun lobby. Basically, you are a repub and I am a Dem. You are like a religious person, while I am agnostic. Neither one of us is going to change. So we will agree to disagree. FYI, I don't need to know what I'm talking about. In regards to the 'facts', I couldn't care less. Cause this isn't about facts. It is my opinion that laws suck, the country doesn't take things seriously, and they are further handcuffed by some 200+ year old piece of outdated parchment - that washington won't amend. The Constitution/bill of Rights does wonders to help people....but sometimes in helping people....you are hurting them as well. This will be my last response to you. take care.

Presumptuous and entirely unwilling to learn facts and then giving up when no one takes you seriously? Beautiful, man :lol:

The only person here to bring up the NRA is you.

Granted, I clean it after every range session because I shoot corrosive surplus ammunition most of the time. I just picked up a TGI AMD-65 and it's also quickly proving to be a terrific investment.

What a freaking trip -- I just saw one exactly like that (top photo) at a show a week ago, and it's the only thing I kept coming back to while I was there (except for an exceptionally nice Enfield No. 5 Jungle Carbine). The seller was closing out a personal collection and was practically giving it away at $325.00. I couldn't believe it and probably should have snagged it, but I'd promised myself I'd stick to what I went there for this time.

This is mine -- it's actually a MAK-90 that I bought during the ban several years ago, then sold to my boss. When I started collecting again he sold it back to me and I replaced the thumbhole stock with this side-folder and pistol grip. He'd misplaced my original metal mags, so I bought a polymer mag and love it. Everything I have is fun to shoot, but if I could only keep one, it would be a very hard choice between this and my Armalite AR.

Mil surp ammo is a great value, for sure. I stick to non-corrosive as much as possible because I don't always like cleaning them as soon as I get home. I think too many hours of cleaning out cosmoline with a hair dryer and a few rolls of paper towels made me kinda lazy, lol.

Chinese AKs are top-tier. Very nice. $325 for an SGL-31 is better than stealing, it's like stealing, and then having your victim thank you for it. I paid $799+shipping for mine

Yeah, whites don't kill. Uh-huh. GTFO!

Head over to Websters.com and check out the definition of the word "virtually."

Also, check this out below, but keep in mind that Hispanics get lumped into the "white" category. Take them out and that number is cut by well over one half.

According to U.S. Justice Department figures from 1992, white Americans commit murder at a rate of 5.1 per 100,000. For black Americans, the rate is 43.4 per 100,000 – eight times that of whites. The FBI’s Uniform Crime Reports show that blacks, who make up roughly 13 percent of the U.S. population, commit some 42 percent of all violent crimes, according to 1995–1996 data.

In addition, African American criminals prey on whites at a far higher rate than white criminals do on blacks. Justice Department figures show that in nearly 90 percent of all interracial crimes, a white person turns out to be the victim and a black person the perpetrator – a proportion that has remained remarkably steady for two decades (the figure was 87.49 percent in 1981 and 87.83 percent in 1999).

You didn't emphasive "virtually." You emphasized "gone." :lol:

The way I see it, blacks and latinos kill people out in the open (latinos kill each other more often than kill whites).

Anglos just make people "disappear." (If it does not fit...) :lol:

Conceding that point, I still stand by my assertion. :wink:

I'm having non-buyer's regret now, lol. It's probably gone now, but I will keep an eye out for it.

Not totally true. Not totally false, though, either. :lol:
