We thought about it, but after that last open water boating accident when all of our guns fell overboard, we thought we would wait.
Weird. You had a tragic boating accident too?
Mine was so traumatic, I've forgotten which lake it was
Memory loss due to PTSD. It's quite common. Thoughts and prayers.
I just happened to have every one of mine layed out in my front yard when a freak tornado came along and swept them up. I just barely had time to get my wife and kids into the basement. Miraculously, it didn't wreck the house or the cars. We were so lucky.
I'm sorry for your loss!
EXACLTY what happened to all of my weapons. Unfortunately that part of the lake is 90 feet deep. ;-(
That was definitely an assault lake of common use.
You know as I read these comments, most are freaking hilarious or in jest. If you read a libtard troll they are as mean as rattlesnakes! These are really funny! And strange that that dang gunado got mine too! Dang it!
Another rifle, or another rifle each?
I think I'm going to buy a rifle that attaches to my rifle.
Im still waiting for the Chainsaw Attachment
It's a chainsaw launcher. Mine's on back-order
The over-under rifle/rifle loadout is becoming very popular this year.
Does a drilling count as an high clip capacity assault weapon, I wonder....
kalt, then will they have little rifles?
Or another for each member of the family?
Each hand.
don't forget. the dog needs his protection too! one for each paw
Don't forget to order the chainsaw bayonet.
LOL...I have several thousand 7.62 rounds but have never fired the AK I have in storage.....waiting.....
Never, ever, admit that in public
Plus, you can keep your doctor!
If you like your automatic rifle you can keep your automatic rifle.
But what about my self chambering rifle?
Dims: turn `em all in!
It's more like
"We're not trying to take all your guns! Just the guns that can be loaded and fired. Surely you can agree that this is 'Common Sense gun law'".
Common Sense would be to profile the shooters, which are 99% demonrats and just take the guns away from those Godless morons.
Common Sense would also include removing "gun free zones" (Otherwise known as target rich environments) from existence. Most shootings take place in gun free zones.
I keep saying that if you could enforce a law to keep guns out of the hands of Democrats, we would virtually bring mass shootings to a standstill. Probably greatly reduce the number of armed robberies and deaths resulting from violent attacks considerably as well.
Liberalism is indeed a mental disease.
We are only trying to take away the guns you store and don't use. Of course, we are doing everything we can to force you to store your guns and make it nigh unto impossible to use them...
NJ now 10 round max. Yes, lawsuit filed.
You aren't using it let me have it.
That's the most succinct comment I've ever seen about Democrats and gun control.
You get a cookie, schnefferpepper.
I've been deceived many times myself.
I find this topic kind of fascinating. I don't own a gun, I've never fired a gun and I don't have any plans at the moment to do either. A couple years ago I agreed with the gun-control side of the debate, but passively and silently, because I knew that I didn't really know anything about the subject and so while the gun-control position seemed like the common sense position at the time, I refused to ever say anything about it out loud because I refuse to advocate for positions if I haven't done the work to understand the issues.
Within the past 2 years or so I started to research the issue because it was in the news a lot and people were talking about it and I was interested in what was actually true. As a result of taking the time to do that research I did a complete 180 on my position. That doesn't mean I suddenly want a gun, but I'm very much anti-gun-control now. All it took for me to completely change my mind was taking the time to understand the issues and statistics involved. And because I have now put in the work to understand the issue I no longer feel the need to remain silent about it. However, what I have found most interesting about this issue is that in all the people I've seen push for gun-control, both in the media and on social media, I've literally never seen one who seems to have a remotely accurate understanding of the issues involved. In other words, all these people seem like they are still at the level of knowledge I had when I refused to talk about the subject, and yet they feel comfortable talking about it on national television and pontificating on Facebook. I don't know that I've ever seen an issue where the knowledge was so thoroughly on one side of the debate. I've been involved in debate on deep issues for almost 20 years and I honestly don't think I've seen an issue that was so lop-sided in terms of both the data and the knowledge. It honestly seems like there's virtually no such thing as a debate on gun-control between knowledgeable people, because as soon as someone becomes knowledgeable they immediately stop being on the pro-gun-control side of the debate.
As Crowder often says, the debate purely boils down to firearm advocates vs the uninformed. I have yet to meet a single person in favor of massive gun control that actually knew even the basics about firearms.
I think it is pretty safe to say that Hitler and the Nazi's knew about guns, and they were definitely advocates for massive gun control.
As a woman who once had to flip the safety off her handgun during a dangerous situation, I thank you for your change of heart. People like you are essential in helping people like me keep a way to protect ourselves.
(It was the scariest thing I ever did, but I trained with a marine and his words were burned into my mind. I was able to defend myself and my daughter in a parking garage in Chicago. I shook like a leaf - but not until AFTER we were safe.)
You are evidence of positive gun use that never gets reported. I am glad you are able to keep yourself safe. Look for Pistol Packing Ladies on FB. It is an excellent group of women shooters of all skill levels.
RAH! Hesitation kills. Better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6.
"...yet they feel ..."
This is the foundation upon which all leftist thought (such as it is) is founded.
trying shooting one.
i only target shoot; and its loads of fun. there is some serenity in the process of visiting a gun range and being 'on the range.'
it will also make you laugh every time you see a movie where someone shoots the gun out of another's hand; or shoot the belt off your enemy to make his pants fall down. the perception movies give of guns is hysterical compared to real life.
sounds like that would be the final piece to fulfill your self education on the topic.
My Korean step-daughter fired a pistol and an AR-15 at the range for the first time in America and it totally changed her position on the entire debate. South Korea is another gun-free zone and so they never see a gun in the hands of a normal person and they bought the pitch about guns and crazy America. And then she comes and lives in the great state (still, thanks Abbott!) of Texas and sees more guns (not killing anyone) than a terminator movie and freaks out...Until I take her to the range and she totally changes position. It is her favorite thing to do now always asking to go. It is funny how ignorance makes one afraid but after learning, she gets it! Welcome to 'Murica! Hoorah!
LOL...'Murica' thats funny.
target shooting is a good hobby. so are bows. shooting a bow is even more relaxing to me.
Bang on, but...everything you just said....
Kudos...you put that very well in your post...
Heks, you deserve credit for critical thinking. My compliments.
If you're in the Chicago area, I'll be happy to show you how to shoot. Trap would probably be easiest, and you'd have a good time with it. My wife was terrified of guns for years - as if they were secretly plotting to murder her in her sleep some night. At a New Year's brunch at my club a couple of years ago, one of my shooting buddies took her out to the trap line and showed her how to shoot. She only needed three rounds, and that was the last time I ever heard a worried comment about shooting. Good thing, too, because I shoot in competition all over the country. She was grateful for the experience.
The trick with liberal issues is to look for the underlying emotional lie it's built on. Cops love to murder black people. Voter ID is somehow racist. ICE is separating poor immigrants from their mommies. You can keep your doctor. Children are going to die if Kavanaugh is confirmed. This overwrought emotional squealing is never supported by verifiable facts. And millions fall for it every time.
But it looks like you've figured this out. Happy to see it. We'll have you voting Republican before long.

I appreciate the offer, but I'm actually in Canada.
Also, just to be clear: I was never really afraid of guns. It's just that when I knew nothing about them it seemed to me like the gun-control measures people talked about on TV sounded reasonable. And yet, I knew that I didn't know enough to judge whether or not they were actually reasonable or could be reasonably expected to make anything better. Once I took the time to do the research I realized that those gun-control measures only sounded reasonable to me because I didn't know anything about the subject. So it's not that I went from fearful to unafraid. I just went from uninformed to informed.
We'll have you voting Republican before long.
I hate to break it to you, but that won't be happening, because not only am I a Canadian, but I'm an apolitical Canadian. I don't get involved in politics at all and I don't support any candidate or party. I don't comment on these issues for political reasons. I comment on them simply because I care about what's true and reasonable. I've defended Trump countless times over the past 2 years, not because I support (or oppose) him politically, but merely because the media lies about him constantly to push their agenda and mislead people and I find it impossible to stay silent when I see them obviously lying and slandering someone. Likewise, my opposition to gun-control is purely intellectual rather than political. The arguments in its favor are bad and misleading and the arguments against it are neither of those things.
Take care
The wife and I decided we needed another rifle right after watching this.
Just for possession and storage, of course
