A friend sent me the following in the body of an e-mail. Some of it is quite funny. Note some of the answers to history questions and the comment about the Second Amendment farther along in the text. Then these be truly euphoric children... This is a compilation of actual student GCSE...

Can anyone make a recommendation on a suitable, well-built, and reliable 10 mm semiautomatic pistol, preferably full-size? I know that Glock makes a 10 mm, but what other manufacturers do this? I'd love to see a Ruger manufactured in 10 mm, but so far as I know, they don't have this caliber.

Recently, I purchased a Baikal 12 gauge, SxS 20" bbl shotgun with internal hammers and double triggers. It seems like a rather decent shotgun (for the money, especially), and it won't be used very often. I bought it mainly for home defense (hence the shorter barrels). Has any of you had much...

I live about 20 minutes away from GSI which, until recently, was the sole U.S. distributor of Steyr pistols. Now, they carry only Merkel shotguns and have stopped carrying the Steyrs. Does anyone know what happened? Is there another distributor for Steyrs now?

This may be a stupid question, but here goes: Is there any such thing as an 8 gauge shotgun? I would almost swear that I've read articles about them before ( a long time ago ), but I've never seen or fired one (thank God). Has anyone ever seen and/or fired one of these?

I found this quote on another thread and it made me wonder something: How many members smoke (whether it be cigarettes, cigars, or pipe) or otherwise use tobacco products? Personally, I smoke (Camel Wides and a pipe occasionally...the last cigar I bought was "green" and so was I after I...

What nations have gun control laws that approximate what we have in this country? What countries have more lenient laws? Switzerland, for one, that I know of. Since I'm assuming that most of the world is effectively disarmed, I don't figure these responses will be lengthy.

Has anyone heard of any recent or developing anti-gun initiatives in the state of Alabama or can someone point out some links where I may find out the information? I went to Sarah's website, but couldn't find anything because most of what I was looking for was under construction. Also, after...

Over the past year or so, I've read a few posts which mention having a CCW to be used in lieu of having a background check whenever purchasing a firearm. Is this the case everywhere or just in certain states? Here in Alabama, I have a CCW, but I've never been asked about it before being handed...

What are some of your favorite movies that contain any references to firearms or RKBA? Mine would be "Blade Runner", the "Mad Max" trilogy, any of the Dirty Harry movies, earlier James Bond movies (with Sean Connery or Roger Moore), and most any older westerns or military/war epics. The...

Guess which (in)famous politician of our time had this to say about those who choose to burn or otherwise desecrate the American flag. Give up? Here's another hint. He also made the following comment about another one of the Bill of Rights, this one not quite so tolerant. - (Former) Senator...

Has anyone ever heard of the company Companhia Brasileira de Cartuchos (CBC)? A shotgun that my grandfather gave me is stamped as having been manufactured by this company. I looked up their website, but it is in what I assume to be Portugese and I can't get the translator to work. What sort...

You're in the local grocery store at night, standing in line behind an obviously well-to-do lady. She pays for her items and, because you only have one or two items, you exit the store immediately after the lady. As she walks across a deserted parking lot towards her car, you notice a BG...
