29. Plus, anyone shooting someone at more than 10 yards probably ain't defending themselves.

I spent 4 years in the army reserves and fired all kinds of guns that I don't think belong Electric Monk May 2013 #11

Why join the army when you are already part of the militia? LAGC May 2013 #12

I'm not in the mood to re-hash your mis-reading of the 2nd yet again tonight. Electric Monk May 2013 #13

Toons are fun. LAGC May 2013 #15

It's nothing to do with the 2nd, it's codified Federal law. sir pball May 2013 #17

OK, all the gun cultists over 45 need to turn in their weapons. Hoyt May 2013 #28

Looks like wimmen folk can't have them gunz either. Or non-"able bodied" 17-45 males. uppityperson May 2013 #49

That's a good start. That'll get rid of bunch of weapons old guys covet, and shut down gun stores. Hoyt May 2013 #55

I have a few questions. Jenoch May 2013 #21

For sure, most of them are Repubs Skeeter Barnes May 2013 #14

A good percentage of the Republican gun owners were once Democrats. ... spin May 2013 #50

The old, Dems will vote for a republican over guns ruse. I doubt true ones will consider that. Hoyt May 2013 #59

How do you define a true Democrat. ... spin May 2013 #66

" all these guys vote Democrat"... is that madmom May 2013 #45

What I learned from shooting at a range -- handguns are really, really inaccurate! mainer May 2013 #25

Plus, anyone shooting someone at more than 10 yards probably ain't defending themselves. Hoyt May 2013 #29

depends if they are shooting at you and the danger distance for a knife is twenty feet or so loli phabay May 2013 #30

20 feet is not 10 yards, and you keep playing that paranoia in your head. Hoyt May 2013 #33

never said twenty feet was ten yards, just saying that twenty feet is the dangerzone with a blade loli phabay May 2013 #74

I suspect there are lots of better things to occupy your training time. Hoyt May 2013 #78

Makes more sense to run from a knife mainer May 2013 #37

unless your ben johnson then running might not be an option, though you do train to move sideways loli phabay May 2013 #75

A good staff or stick will work. You don't need a gun. Get real. Hoyt May 2013 #77

I didn't fire any handguns newmember May 2013 #40

There's always next time. Skeeter Barnes May 2013 #65

Isn't that special? 99Forever May 2013 #27

i love accuracy international especially matched with lapua rounds, its a real special combination. loli phabay May 2013 #31

I shot one newmember May 2013 #39

yeah the rounds are way out there, luckily i was not paying for them but i am thinking of investing loli phabay May 2013 #73

Were you looking to acquire a pointless and expensive new hobby? surrealAmerican May 2013 #35

What's the point of golf? CokeMachine May 2013 #70

It's equally pointless. surrealAmerican May 2013 #71

I agree totally. Have a good weekend!! CokeMachine May 2013 #72

Why would anyone be attracted to crud like "Desert Tactical Arms?" Find something worthwhile to do, Hoyt May 2013 #38

I didn't see anyone giddy there , most seemed lost in concentration newmember May 2013 #41

Concentrate on something meaningful -- the Zen of guns is BS. Hoyt May 2013 #42

If they are carrying guns, or have a bunch of assault weapona, you have a low bar for intelligence. Hoyt May 2013 #57

Seems like you are making a connection between the rhetorical, abstract construct of ownership ZombieHorde May 2013 #62

Nah, I'm just saying a high percentage of those overly excited by guns are lightly educated, or Hoyt May 2013 #63

I see nothing wrong with going to a gun range RebelOne May 2013 #52
