If you watched the Andy Griffith Show back in the 60′s, you will remember Barney Fife as the somewhat incompetent deputy sheriff of Mayberry. After a series of gun mishaps, Barney was allowed to carry a gun, but was only allowed to carry one bullet — and he had to carry that bullet in his shirt pocket.

Look for Obama and the Dems to launch a PR blitz suggesting that gun owners are really not much more than Barney Fife wanna-be’s, and if the 2nd amendment must be nodded at, then gun owners shouldn’t be allowed to own guns that shoot more than one bullet before reloading. . . . . .

Criminals in L.A. report that they like buybacks: they use the money to buy bling and drugs, and steal better guns!

FIFY

“Every gun that came in was an old gun, no assault weapons,” Tom Ditsch, who watched the event, told The Associated Press. “They didn’t even take any weapons off the streets.”

Hey – offer me say $250 (like Trenton, NJ did) and I’d gladly turn in my brand new $120 Marlin .22 – and go buy 2 more to replace it.

Idiot bureaucrats at work spending taxpayer money and accomplishing NOTHING.

POP QUIZ

It’s 1:00 AM on the streets of a large American city.

A gay couple leaves a nightclub and starts walking back to their apartment. At the same time, an angry (and very bigoted) drunk is being kicked out of a bar across the street for having started a fight.

Still filled with rage, he sees the gay couple across the street laughing and holding hands on their way home. He grabs a 2-by-4 from a nearby dumpster and crosses the street and confronts the couple, swinging the piece of wood and yelling hateful slurs.

There IS going to be violence.

Whom would you prefer to see on the receiving end?

Y’all need to take your sarcasm detectors in for a tune-up.

All I can seem to think of is that sarcasm detector exploding, on The Simpsons.

That was FUNNY … : )

CorporatePiggy’s comment was definitely sarcasm (as evidenced by the “hair clip” bit). Socratease and Anti-Statist took it as if it were a serious comment. Then you commented as if they misread the comment (as it related to which round was under-powered) instead of not reading it as satire. If you understood CorporatePiggy was being sarcastic, fine, but your comment seemed to continue in the other two’s vein of seriousness.

Misreading is now sarcasm?

Funny, I never heard the .30-’06 (Garand) described as “low powered” before. The old battle rifles used relatively powerful rounds, with range and anti-materiel capability. The AR-15s are way down in power by comparison because the military decided to trade off power for round count.

He wrote that the Enfield’s 303 was underpowered.

Question:
“Is Pres. Obama an imperial Pres.”
Current at 12:00 Eastern time
98% Yes.
2 % No.

And about half of the 98% are cool with Barry being imperial.

ObamaPhone Lady Will Not Be Voting For Obama For President In 2016! Nosireebob!

Won’t matter. She and her ilk have already chose poorly. Either Barry decides to retire to his Hawaiian palace paradise after his time is up, or in the face of unprecedented national catastrophe and turmoil he’s declared president for life by 2016 eliminating the need for further presidential elections. So her point is irrelevant.

Steve Stockman Republican 36th dist of Texas, southeast of Houston Tx says that if Obama attempts to change the 2nd amendment by executive orders, then Stockman will file art. of impeachment.

Mark Levin has a poll up. http://www.marklevinshow.com

Question:
“Is Pres. Obama an imperial Pres.”
Current at 12:00 Eastern time
98% Yes.
2 % No.

Mark says that if Obama attempts to do a executive order to do the debt celling on his own then Pres Obama must be impeached.

No matter how many wish to hide from this man man Obama, the fight will come.

He is mad and he is bluffing, when we call his hand he will fly off the handle.

Call his buss shit bluff now. All’s he has is the commie left who will back him with crazy bull shit he is attempting.

well ok a few RINO’s will try to help him too like McCain and Collin Powell…. it is what it is.

I’m thinking the original post was sarcasm.

Yeah, I’ll bet there were some Enfields that fire that old low power .303 round, maybe some beat up SKSes, Moisin Nagaants, and a Garand or two.

None of those are of the assaulting weapon species of course. They are low powered antiques without enormous hair clips.

I own a Mosin-Nagant M91/30 (actually three of them) and I assure you that the 7.62 x 54R round is no feather. The Soviet snipers in WW II used them with scopes to devastating effect upon the Wehrmacht, and the round can kill out to 800 yards.

The M-1 Garand uses a .30-06 (06 refers to 1906) round that’s every bit the round that the 7.62 x 54R is.

Current 5.56 mm rounds of the AR-15 or the 7.62 x 39 of the AK are no match for the damage the old rifles can inflict upon their targets.

..if we can con them into thinking that black powder replica pistols are worth $200 at a buy-back, just wait til Cabela’s puts their Pietta 1851 colt .44s on sale for $139, buy a dozen, turn ‘em in, and pocket $61 “a piece” (get it?) for each.

Maybe if you’re skillful enough, you could have Cabela’s just drop ship the pistols to the PD doing the buy-back?

0_0 That is freaking brilliant! Dang, now I’ll have to see if there’s a gun buyback in my city and what they’re paying.

..this tool is probably doing more to condition himself to committing violent acts by playing the absolutely violent video games than if he were to own a 1911 A1 and visit the range “every Friday”.

First time things go sideways in his precious little world, he grabs a firearm and goes ape-shit on the populace, I’m betting.

Please tell me you forgot the /sarc tag.

Between playing the S.T.A.L.K.E.R., Gears of War, Half-Life, and the Fallout game series, I’ve racked up a body count in the thousands. Worst thing I’ve ever wanted to do to a real person was deck them in the mouth for lying and snitching that caused me to lose my job.

I’m actually LESS likely to go nuts because I have equal experience being shot at. Seeing a virtual squadmate’s head take a sniper round or taking cover from twelve bandits with assault rifles is a hard reminder that you are not the only one around with lethal force.
