Ironically enough, the bill is HR1022

It is in the judiciary now, and passage is expected in the house.

Get your Ar/AK rifles while you can. The RINO parade isn’t going to stop it.

This ‘smart’ fella I spoke of….he was a friggin Military Policeman.

Ah, who am I kidding?

The only thing I’d shoot would be my own foot.

In over 25 years of reviewing published safety reports involving on- and off-duty military members, a single event occurs numerous times each year. Shot him(her)self in the foot(leg) while cleaning a weapon appears in the initial medical report. Small amounts of investigation almost always determine that the perpetrator/victim was “practicing their quickdraw” ala Limerick’s story, and pulled the trigger before getting the gun clear of the holster.

Firearms are made to put holes in things. Treat one like a toy, and you can all too easily turn out to be your own target.

Treat them properly, and they save more lives and property than they cost.

I guess they were just showing off their camera and its ability to show droplets in detail at high speed, thus the crushing-berries-with-a-hammer thing. Or maybe that was just for the benefits of feminist viewers who may have otherwise felt alienated by the video.

But why let actual science get in the way of Truthiness?

‘C mon. We’d miss out on the whole global warming hysteria for the next couple years. Then it will run it’s “product cycle” and there’ll be a different part of the sky falling.

Director fond of slo-mo meets gun shop owner barricaded in his own well-stocked shop by hordes of zombies… ’nuff said.

Fast-moving zombies, too. The only kind.

It’s like I always tell people that are afraid of guns and other potentially dangerous things/activities. “you are exactly the kind of person that I’d rather have doing/using this”

I’m not really afraid of guns, just extremely inexperienced with them. I’ve fired a few, especially when I was in high school ROTC – M16, M60 (yes, that was all sorts of awesome). Outside of the ROTC range, I’ve shot both 12 and 20 gauge shotguns, a .38 pistol, a couple of 30-30s and some .22s. My favorite was a black powder rifle that my father-in-law made.

So I’ve shot a variety of weapons, just not for any consistent amount of time. I’ve thought about going to take a gun safety course, as they’re plentiful up here in Maine, but haven’t quite found the time.

So guns, to me, are still a bit intimidating.

I had a spray paint can caught under the mower deck when I engaged the blades last summer. It did almost the same thing.

What was Jason doing firing the auto rifle? Didn’t he get killed in the final episode?

The bullet makes a small entry wound, and a large exit wound, from which issues a large amount of mass. Like a rocket, this propels the object back toward the shooter.

Watch it again. If the entry wound causes enough fractures – more fratures than the exit – there will be a blow-out toward the shooter. If not, then the exit wound will most likely be the big one. The mystery of whether JFK’s skull was one or the other will never be solved.

On the flip side, now I REALLY can’t wait for the weather to warm up. My Garand is looking neglected.

ACLU Chapter President:

Federal agents arrested Charles Rust-Tierney, the former president of the Virginia chapter of the ACLU, Friday in Arlington for allegedly possessing child pornography.
According to a criminal complaint obtained by ABC News, Rust-Tierney allegedly used his e-mail address and credit card to subscribe to and access a child pornography website.

“sunny,”

Maybe this explains why so many aligned with the ACLU side with keeping these things legal and unrestricted.

Maybe this is why the ACLU aligns themselves with such offenses.

Maybe those who fight for this “freedom” are actually doing so because they don’t wish to be “found out” and they don’t wish to have to be arrested for their “private” behavior.

It would be interesting to see what an investigation turns up regarding the percentage of ACLU operatives engaged in this sort of thing, and to which extent they are engaged.
