Poor Norway! I see from below that it has decided to go the way of California. just remember this Folks when the issue of “reasonable Gun Rules” comes up!
Grumpy
Hard criticism from Norway’s Hunter and Fisheries Federation
FOREIGNPUBLISHED: 2018-03-13 12:18
(UPDATED) The Norwegian parliament goes further than the EU’s new arms directive has taken the first step towards banning most semi-automatic bouncers in the country. Norway’s Hunter and Fisheries Federation (NJFF) strongly criticizes the new coat of arms, which means that those who already have “wrong” bouts can not keep their weapons.
“NJFF believes it is unacceptable with a retroactive ban on hunting weapons that has been in use for many decades. That the victims are not given the opportunity to compensate do not make the case better. We will work hard to get compensation, “said the federal hunting consultant Vidar Nilsen in a statement from NJFF. Three years to scrape or sell the gun According to representatives of the Norwegian government, the new weapons team may land in the event that affected gun owners get three years to scrape the gun or try to sell the weapon to foreign buyers.
The situation in Norway before the change of laws is that there are only a number of semi-automatic bounce models that are allowed to hunt if they do not have a “military character”. Seeks to ban Ruger Mini Exactly what more semi-automatic bouncers who become illegal due to the change of laws are unclear. But already it is clear that semifinals like the Ruger Mini will be banned. It was the model Breivik used to kill 69 people on Utöya 2011. What more weapons models affected by the ban will be determined by what is written after the law changes. May own another two hunting weapons The new coat of arms will mean that the hunters in Norway receive an extended weapon cage and can own eight hunting weapons instead of max six bets.
“It is a clear light point that the plot listened to the hunters as to how many hunting weapons may be needed by hunters,” Vidar Nilsen feels.
Here is a list, including which semi-automatic bouncers are currently approved for hunting. Click here:

Matthew Eagle aka Digital Darwinist is a mad scientist, writer, and bodybuilder from the North Texas area of the United States who identifies as a right-leaning libertarian and enjoys smooth jazz and white wine. He runs his blog Digital Darwinist where he writes about science/technology, culture, economics, and politics. You can also follow him on Minds, Facebook, Twitter, Gab, and Instagram.
I was lucky enough to be a part of one of the last great Boy Scout troops here in North Texas, where we were taught proper marksmanship by an ex-special forces scoutmaster. He ran the troop military-style, dividing us into patrols, where we could attain ranks such as patrol leader and assign push-ups to disobedient scouts of lower rank.
This taught us discipline, responsibility, and how to work with other young men to achieve common goals, as well as other manly skills such as how to build a fire and survive in the wilderness.
Switzerland takes this concept one step further with mandatory military service for all men, as well as maintaining youth clubs comparable to the Boy Scouts, and therefore despite having one of the highest rates of gun ownership in the world, they simultaneously have one of the lowest rates of mass shootings of any nation. What this tells us is that the United States does not have a gun problem, but rather a culture problem.
While Switzerland has not been involved in any serious armed conflict since the mid-1800s, they have scrupulously maintained an outstanding military. All able-bodied men must serve at least 300 days in the armed forces—not including boot camp and specialized training—and after completing their service will drill with the reserves for the next ten years.
If a citizen is deemed unfit for military service, they will most likely be required to perform some other civil service, such as serving as a police officer, firefighter, teacher, or will perform some other form of community service and will pay a slightly higher income tax until the age of thirty.
Citizens are fairly compensated for their service, and are given their rifle to keep in their home in the event of a national emergency. This is sometimes referred to as the “gun in every closet policy,” which effectively arms around half of the population. The benefits of this system are threefold.
1. Military Preparedness
If Switzerland was ever invaded, the Swiss government could mobilize every able-bodied man at the drop of a hat. Many historians even speculate that this is the reason that Hitler chose not to invade Switzerland during WWII. He knew that attacking an entire nation of well-trained and well-armed, freedom-loving nationalistic militiamen who had been training for a foreign invasion since their adolescence would be more trouble than it was worth.
To hold and occupy a territory such as this, once conquered, would require more effort than Hitler was willing to expend.
2. Skilled Citizens
This policy leads to a population that leaves the military and enters the workforce with discernible skills that can be used to support themselves.
This prevents people from descending into poverty and sucking on the government teat via the welfare system, and helps to curtail violent crime. An unskilled labor force is an unstable and volatile labor force.
3. A Strong Sense Of Nationalism
It is only natural that nationalism springs from military service like water springs from Old Faithful in Yellowstone. When you put your blood, sweat, and tears into something, it gives you a sense of responsibility for that something, a sense that a small piece of it belongs to you, like owning stock in a corporation.
When you consider that less than one percent of the American population is active military, yet almost twenty-five percent of Americans are receiving welfare, the entitled American “gimmedat” attitude at becomes all too evident.
The Link To Mass Shootings
Aftermath of the Las Vegas massacre in 2017.
Mostly stemming from the radical left of the American political spectrum, buzzwords like “toxic masculinity” have been spreading like wildfire. As early as elementary school, teachers are shaming boys for having masculine traits and indoctrinating children with the idea that boys and girls should be treated the same even though they have completely different needs.
Unlike the good old days when boys who were caught fighting would be taken to the gym, issued boxing gloves, and told to duke it out, many school districts will go so far to prevent violence that they will even punish a boy who fights in self-defense, thus completely emasculating him and teaching him not to stand up for himself.
This is not to say that fighting is the answer to all of our problems, but rather to say that men are naturally more confrontational due to the high levels of testosterone coursing through our veins.
Rather than teach boys how to channel their aggressive impulses into something positive such as martial arts, boys are told that having these impulses in the first place is wrong, and that wanting to be a strong leader is oppressive towards women, while girls are given free rein to push “the future is female” propaganda. This leads to many boys simply shutting themselves up in their rooms playing violent video games to release those urges.
When you factor in that the left is also providing monetary incentive for women to become single mothers—thus creating more households without positive male role models to teach boys how to become good men—the stage is set for a select few members of society to be adversely affected with severe aggression issues and start shooting up crowds.
In Switzerland, mandatory military service teaches men how to be men. Despite having nearly half the Swiss population with a firearm in their home, Switzerland has a low incidence of violent crime—and mass shootings for that matter—compared to the U.S.
Women’s Suffrage In Switzerland
Since the last canton of Switzerland gave women the vote in the early nineties, however, laws have been passed with the aim of reducing the military presence in the country.
Ammunition for service rifles is now required to be kept at a depot rather than at home with the rifle in question, and more and more referendums are being held that want to end the tradition altogether, as well as remove the mandatory service requirement.
Only time will tell whether this tradition will remain intact, and if it doesn’t—and gun violence increases—it will prove my theory to be more than simply the deranged thoughts of a mad scientist.
The High Standard Model 10A and 10B were a pair of bullpup police shotguns produced for about 10 years in the late 1960s and 1970s.
They were built around a regular High Standard semi automatic shotgun action, which was put into a plastic chassis to give it a bullpup configuration. They were chambered for 12 gauge, 2 3/4 inch shells, and required high-brass or other full-powered ammunition to run properly.
The idea of the bullpup layout really did have merit for the purposes High Standard intended, although the guns were not executed as well as they could have been.
In theory, the short overall length made the guns very handy for using in and around patrol cars, and the ability to effectively hold and fire the gun with only one hand would allow an officer to use his other hand for things like opening doors, moving obstacles, handling objects, etc.
The integrated flashlight (molded into the chassis on the 10A and detachable on the 10B) differs from today’s tactical weapons only in that traditional Mag-Lite type lights (specifically, the Kel-Lite) were used instead of today’s smaller and more powerful options.
The carry handle, folding front sight, flashlight mount, rotating buttplate, and very non-traditional appearance made for quite the eye-catching gun when these weapons hit the market.
Many police departments purchased them with the idea of modernizing, only to find them less practical in reality than in marketing, and they went out of production by the late 1970s.
For folks who are interested, here are a couple training documents published by High Standard on shotgun usage:
High Standard’s “Practical Shotgun Course for Law Enforcement Officers” (English, 1968)
High Standard’s “Practical Shotgun Course Supplement” (English, 1965)
The basic design of the Model 10 shotgun was developed in the late 1950s by Alfred Crouch, a Santa Monica, Californiapolicesergeant. Crouch’s goal was to create the ultimate entry shotgun for SWAT and tactical units. His original design used a modified Remington semi-automatic shotgun.
In the mid 1960s, Crouch sold his design to the High Standard Manufacturing Company, who used their Flite King shotgun as the basis for the first model, the 10A. The Flite King was modified by replacing the stock, relocating the trigger assembly, and fitting a three-piece plastic shell around the receiver and first half of the barrel. The rearward piece of the shell provided an attachment point for the rotatable shoulder stock. The lower piece of the shell provided the grip. Since the trigger assembly was moved forward to accommodate the bullpup design, a rod that connected the new and original trigger locations was used to allow minimal modifications to the original Flite King receiver.
High Standard Model 10A
Although the standard capacity of the Model 10 is 4 shells, there was a magazine tube extension available which would increase the capacity to 6 shells.
On the early model shotgun the 10A, the upper plastic section also housed the built-in flashlight and carrying handle.
The later model shotgun the 10B was improved with a left-hand charging handle, flip-up front sight, and utilized the new flashlight mount/carrying handle mounting block (which doubles as the carrying handle mount) as the rear sight. The “Kel-Lite” branded flashlight can be removed, as it is attached to the aforementioned mounting block.
Originally, the Model 10 was sold to law enforcement only. The concept of this shotgun was quite interesting to many police agencies who adopted the Model 10 in the late 1960s and early 1970s; however, most of the agencies found many shortcomings, and ultimately ceased using the Model 10.
The most common problem was the failure to cycle correctly. According to the instructions on the Model 10, only magnum or “high brass” shells were to be used. However, even with the correct shells, the action would sometimes fail to cycle reliably. Other problems that plagued the shotgun were the rough and unpredictable trigger feel, the strange rotatable shoulder stock, and the tendency of the recoil to cause the flashlight’s batteries to become damaged.
Another problem was that the Model 10 could only be fired from the right arm, as the gun ejected spent cartridges from the right side of the unit with a high force. There is a warning on the right side of the shotgun reading “CAUTION – DO NOT SHOOT FROM LEFT SHOULDER.”
Yes, we’re still in early phases with additive-manufactured firearms, but the technology is coming along, as are the users.
Washbear. This is an early version with tension bars (in red on the cylinder, retained by the cylinder’s black end caps).
Big News: Working 3DP Revolver
Proof of firing video:
What you just saw was a 3D printed, legal, double-action-only revolver firing six shots of live ball ammunition. This is the culmination of a lot of effort by a lot of people, not least Yoshitomo Imura who is doing three years in an unpleasant Japanese slammer for firing blanks from his original design. Through many iterations, 3D revolver and pepperbox design has improved until it’s reached the current state of the art, which is called the PM522 Washbear.

OH YES WE CAN!!!!!!! We are refining the recipe and will be releasing CAD VERY SOON! For now we have a lovely test video proving that this baby works!!MOARGUNS!!
Washbear in its case. Cylinder is designed to be an expendable part.
Patrick is an engineering student; his own site is purported to be here. However, access is blocked by our antivirus software: “Access has been blocked as the threat Mal/HTMLGen-A has been found on this website.” We were able to view the text on the site by looking at the Google cache of the site. Cylinders in particular received a lot of trial, error, and trial again. The initial cylinder design took 20 hours of printer time to produce. (Who was the wag that called this technology “rapid prototyping,” and where can we get a case of whatever he was drinking?). Another iteration (see the green cylinder in the upper left) used the 3D printed part as an outer shell and filled it with epoxy resin; this is the “fill compositing” technique developed by Belter and Dollar at Yale and published in PLOS ONE.
Design for the resin-filled cylinder.
Best one so far has metal chamber liners. Here’s what Patrick says:
Here’s a summary of the different cylinders we’ve tried:
The original multi-part cylinder with tension rods didn’t hold up. It fired two shots and cracked on the third, which deformed the cylinder enough to jam the action. The tension rods actually sheared cleanly at the point where the bullet exits the casing.
So we tried making the tension rods thicker. On that version, the tension rods survived firing but the cylinder still cracked.
So then we tried my resin-filled ABS idea. That one fired six shots, but was too damaged to reuse.
So I made a version with no tension rods and I tightened up the headspace, hoping that the front and rear of the cylinder would contact the frame when fired and the frame would take the pressure. FP has printed this version in Taulman Bridge (a nylon filament) and it awaits testing. He also modified that design to accept steel chamber liners.
It was printed on a Rostock Max, a deltabot-style open-source printer that’s popular with hobbysists for its open-source nature, large print area, and reasonable cost.
