Make Up Your Mind Monday

It happens to all of us. You have some kind of burning firearms related question that you just have to know. So you do the normal stuff; ask a friend. Check out what the Internets have to say. Bring it up with the friendly local firearms vendor. And then, out of nowhere, you find yourself in the middle of a never-ending epic debate in which each side would rather sacrifice their firstborn rather than admit defeat. Kind of hard to even know where to begin finding an answer in a minefield like that. That’s where Make Up Your Mind Monday comes in. We pick a hotly contested topic that folks in the firearms community just love to argue about, and condense those arguments into their most basic elements. We don’t tell you what to think; we just give you the basic tools you need to be able to navigate the treacherous waters of forum threads and gun counter discussions where these debates unfold.
