And a lefty to boot!.
Be pretty tough to come over the side of a carrier!
figure of speech
PULL!!!!
Sorry, but hey, it could happen!
they look like 18" barrels to me.
Look like Mossberg 500's
Doesn't a carrier have marines on board to repel boarders?
Prepare to repel boarders!
identical to the mossbergs i have owned.
Yep. Looks like a 500 or 590 model.
You would think, but the Marines have been pretty busy lately. Maybe they are qualifying so they can stand watch in port.

Haha! great image :)
I may be mistaken, but I believe Navy ships do NOT have Marines on board anymore.
And, yes, U.S. vs. Miller was wrongly decided based on your point, but it could also be used to argue that the USSC has already ruled that U.S. citizens can own whatever standard-issue battle rifle our soldiers and Marines carry.
