Ah "rulings." They use words like that to make it seem like they're legitimate, legal decisions by a court somewhere, not by some BATFE bureaucrat at a desk in Washington that just changed his mind.
Depends on how long it takes someone to reverse the ruling.
The Atkins stock was legal for a while and then the ruling was reversed.

The ATF for a very long time was a Treasury department. They still continue to issue revenue rulings that are the basis for enforcement.
In which counties is it legal to shoot a man just to watch him die?
I already know about Washoe county, of course (thanks, Mr. Cash. :thumbsup, but that's a bit cliche'd at this point.
Why do guns like the AR15, AK47/74, and SKS use a free floating firing pin instead of a spring loaded firing pin? They dent the primer each time you chamber a round

They're supposed to dent the primer. If you don't dent the primer you don't get ignition.
Why would you spring load it? By definition the firing pin is static until it is struck by an outside force. A striker is spring loaded.
There's several companies that make them, Para-Ordinance was one of the first (lots of hate for them here though) and they even make an extremely compact model that holds 10rds, the full size holds 14...you can also get them in 9mm with up to 18rd capacity. They aren't the only one just the first that comes to mind, STI makes some as well as others.Is there a double-stack 1911? Am not liking a mere 8 rounds for personal protection.
Slow hit beats a fast miss - the better gun is the one you shoot better.
Lights can be cumbersome but useful. Depending on the mounting option though. I have a Benelli M1 that has a pressure sensitive pad that tends to turn on when I don't want it to turn on.
The type/brand of ammo is less relevant than caliber. If you have thin walls and kids and you have a high density neighborhood and don't want a bullet going next door - Get an AR15.
That is not a joke, AR15's will not penetrate drywall. 9mm will.
Are you serious about the AR15? I thought pretty much any rifle round will go through walls, which is why some people use birdshot or #4 in their house

I'm in California too, so I don't even know if I can get an AR15 anymore . The laws here suck b/c you know if you make certain guns illegal and mandate waiting periods the criminals will never be able to get a hold of those guns....
Yeah but they dent the primer when you chamber a round in addition to when you pull the trigger. It seems like this wouldn't be desirable since you could get discharges when you chamber a round (SKS is notorious for this).
With a free floating firing pin it isn't static though, it flops around when the bolt moves.
Maybe "spring loaded" was the wrong term, but couldn't you have a spring holding the firing pin back until it's hit with the hammer?
edit: here's what I'm trying to describe:
Seems like best case it'd prevent all slam fires, worst case the spring would break and you'd be back to a free floating pin.

USP or SIG?

If i wanted to get a functional reproduction of a flint-lock Kentucky long rifle, where should I look, and what should I look for in terms of quality?
I am completely serious. 9mm will go through the wall, 5.56 mm rifle projectiles will not.
