I prefer the snap of a 40.

Prove it. Make a political hack comment like that, back it up with truth. If you were to really investigate the problem, you'll find that it isn't at the Federal level, but at how each individual school district manages their finances. I've been involved in two different school districts in my adult life, and can easily show how wasted money is the cause for begging for more money...lack of funding is rarely the culprit.

A lower power Recoil Spring might not strip the Bullets out of the Magazine easily. But, if it worked it would be a cheap fix.
If you did that you would also need to remember not to shot the full power loads in it.

Install a Muzzle Brake? they decrease the Muzzle flip (sort of levering your Hand and Wrist) upwards; and the Brake directs the push of the Gun to a more straighter backwards push. I have no experience with them.

A more expensive option is if you could convert it to 9mm.

A cheap but harder way to would be to lift some Weights or other excersizes to build up the Muscle Mass in your wrists and Arms to dampen the reciol.

It was a Beretta 96F. Not exactly a tupperware pistol. I sold it. .40 is not my cuppa tea. After a lifetime of hand milking goats and cows and team roping steers my wrist strength is not an issue. Yeah, I could do all that stuff, but why? Give me a .45, Colt or ACP no matter. Any day.

Its true the R's, in general, are in favor of cutting public education, demonizing teachers in public education, promoting privatising education, and breaking the teachers unions....I can speak with experience about Indiana and from what I see in the news it certainly appears they are doing the same everywhere they can.

What I was attempting to show is that the present Administration that got re-elected was quick to speak up about a Gun Ban but when they had the chance to do better also short changed School Security.

The Reupblicans did the same but are less likely to look to a Gun Ban as a slolution to School Security.

I am supposed to be a Democrat; but what I see is that the Republicans want to cut the Federal Funding and leave that Funding up to the States.
That could be a good or bad thing depending on the State you live in.

If you live in a small State that does not have much revenue it would hurt education let a lone School Security.

virtually every state has a cash cow that they could siphon funds from to pay for public school security: the public university athletic system. Let schools build fewer new fieldhouses and stadiums and kick a little money back to help kids survive.

Private schools could include security costs in the tuition feees

I believe you will find that tapping athletic funds is more of a third rail than cutting SS and Medicare. it won't happen.

quite the shame. it adds nothing to the intellectual experience at a university and should at least have some responsibility in helping fund school security or other projects. Its hard to beleive that so much money is made by schools in perpetuating what are basically children's games. the rabid fascination with sports in America perplexes me.

Then show it...

Or is this a 'My anecdotal evidence is better than your anecdotal evidence....';)

Agreed that there is waste and poor spending decisions, but with that in mind, how can you propose new spending requirements to be paid for by savings from existing allocated money? Isn't that the height of wishful thinking?
I mean, I would love to see it work.... but how bout we try to eliminate the waste and get the academics properly funded and operational before piling on more costs?


Maybe you missed the plank in the platforms of Reagan and Dole to completely abolish the DoED.
Or the GOP mandate to their candidates to promote the dismantling of DoED
"The Federal government has no constitutional authority to be involved in school curricula or to control jobs in the market place. This is why we will abolish the Department of Education, end federal meddling in our schools, and promote family choice at all levels of learning."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Department_of_Education

Seems like funding for schools has been falling....

I just haven't seen the present administration say anything about a gun ban....

....
Can you suggest somewhere I can find information regarding this"Obama Gun Ban"....

Not sure what those Social Security apples are doing in this box of Gun Control oranges....;)

Leaving all education funding up to the states has many problems.
Utah will not spend money, despite poor academic achievement, just ask JP.
How well will their kids do if a bunch of the small pie gets reallocated to gun toting security?

Lots of those cash cows have already been led to slaughter.

Agreed about the athletic system...

Private schools can absolutely do that, and I'm sure many already do.

Really? So after Feinstein and her nauseating fellow travelers get done with their latest gun ban I'll still be able to go on down to the local gun shop and pick up an AR15 will I?
