7. WTF does anything in this story have to do with being safe?

How is being a champion marksman a step toward being safe? He's engaged in a fucking sporting competition, not a "family fun, let's go shoot some bad guys on out fume spewing ATV's outing".

There is nothing here that indicates his support for carrying a gun around and calling it a "personal safety device".

Get over yourself!

Is there some sort of point being made here? Starboard Tack Aug 2014 #1

I don't know, you'd have to ask Oleg. That part is confusing to me, too. NYC_SKP Aug 2014 #99

I suppose that he does... stone space Aug 2014 #100

Interesting. I'd file this under commentary, speculation, but not an unreasonable one. NYC_SKP Aug 2014 #101

Oleg Volk is a fascist jerk mwrguy Aug 2014 #58

Oh really. HALO141 Aug 2014 #65

Lot of support for fascist jerks by 2A purists. Starboard Tack Aug 2014 #77

My imagination??? stone space Aug 2014 #87

What advocacy of mass murder is in this? Your martyrdom is premature. Eleanors38 Aug 2014 #88

Bullshit! They are not emanating from the left at all. Starboard Tack Aug 2014 #17

Cough...ammosexual...cough. N/T beevul Aug 2014 #18

Is that all you've got Beevul? Starboard Tack Aug 2014 #20

From which portion of the political spectrum does that word originate, and emanate? beevul Aug 2014 #21

I have no idea. I don't subscribe to party lines or doctrine. Starboard Tack Aug 2014 #23

It originated and emanates from the left. beevul Aug 2014 #25

It isn't a word I use, but I don't see it as being homophobic Starboard Tack Aug 2014 #90

Google 'ammosexual' and tell me about those origins. Eleanors38 Aug 2014 #83

Interesting. I guess we have a few right here. Starboard Tack Aug 2014 #91

Looks like you're comfortable with the company you keep. Starboard Tack Aug 2014 #33

What is that supposed to mean? Straw Man Aug 2014 #35

No, it does not. It stereotypes gun nuts, not gun owners. There is a difference. Starboard Tack Aug 2014 #37

Come on, now. Straw Man Aug 2014 #40

I don't care what committed anti-gun people think. Starboard Tack Aug 2014 #41

Completely disingenuous. Straw Man Aug 2014 #43

If you want to put guns and rights in the same sentence, then you are correct Starboard Tack Aug 2014 #44

OK, now we know where you really stand. Straw Man Aug 2014 #45

How's that condescension working for you? Straw Man Aug 2014 #68

A simple thank you will suffice. Starboard Tack Aug 2014 #70

Why should you be thanked for a display of cultural bigotry? friendly_iconoclast Aug 2014 #72

"Cultural bigotry"? Please explain. Starboard Tack Aug 2014 #76

My word, the converts really *do* sing loudest in church! friendly_iconoclast Aug 2014 #73

Once again, we see things in a completely opposite way Starboard Tack Aug 2014 #13

You're very confused. Straw Man Aug 2014 #14

No, I am not confused in the least. Starboard Tack Aug 2014 #16

You most certainly are. beevul Aug 2014 #19

Really? Starboard Tack Aug 2014 #22

Granted. beevul Aug 2014 #29
