In 1979 I carried a gun. I had a permit to do so. It was a 9 mm Browning automatic with 14 rounds in a clip. The reason I had a weapon was because I handled large sums of money, and my boss suggested that it might be a good idea. I carried my 9 mm every time I went out...

There you have it folks!
Guns are impulsive! They will jump off the table and into your hand then fire themselves!
This enlightened individual also wants a return to the black powder & lead ball days and he's not just talking about historical reenactments.
Thanks and good night - you can all go home now. Frederick Rokasky of Banksville PA has written the last words on the subject.
Sarcasm aside it saddens me that this kind of ignorance and naivete can still exist.
Like I said: ignorance and naivete...

In 1979? This is code for "I am a jagoff who watched Serpico too many times."
Not a wise investor either. :)
Good taste in pistols; I’ll give him that much.
WoW
I’ve never seen a Browning automatic in 9mm that used “Clips”
I have fired a “semi-automatic” pistol produced by Browning that uses “magazines” however.
Wait until they join forces with the SUVs. Then nobody will be safe.
YEP!
DISARMED GERMAN JEWS AND THE HOLOCAUST!

WHY DO THEY WANT OUR GUNS?

Guns are “impulsive”
I don’t believe this person ever carried.
Before the handgun permit was enacted in Alaska people were sure it would lead to all kinds of new statistics. However, it appears to have made no difference whatsoever. Snowmachines, though, are very, very dangerous.
Yeah. I mean everyone knows that CCW holders are sooooo impulsive. They would shoot you for just being rude.
Thats why they have a lower rate of law breaking than, say, cops.
This is why our country is doomed, because good people like us allow others to get away with abandoning personal responsibility. The irresponsible deserve to die...
Anyone that impulsive and prone to a “what-the-hell” aggression as he described should not be allowed to drive a car, either. Cars kill more people than guns, and I’m sure that aggressive and reckless driving is behind some of those fatalities.
Admittedly, this Weedhopper was armed, so who did *HE* shoot?
No one??? Well then he proves his ‘theory’ holds no water.
What a tool!
As usual a lefty can’t trust himself and used the gun to feel “powerful” so of course, everyone must be the same inadequate impulsive, weenie that he is.
OK, Fred, so if more armed people would bring more impulsive shootings, HOW MANY IMPULSIVE SHOOTINGS WERE YOU INVOLVED IN? How many times did you, on an impulse, whip out your gat and start poppin' a cap in someone's ass?
Guess I better get counseling for all my firearms to get that 'impulsive' nature out of them.
Nitwit! IF everybody was armed people would tend to be less "impulsive" because the "target" could shoot back.
“It was a 9 mm Browning automatic with 14 rounds in a clip.”
Arrest that felon! Automatic weapons are prohibited.
I’m growing weary of these talking heads, stuffed shirts and empty suits pontificating on concepts over which they have no command and in which they have little understanding.
In my view, gun control is: Solid stance, clear sight picture, control the breathing, and squeeze the trigger.
It’s in the tagline.

most of them don’t realize the dark powers that are manipulating them, though. They are do gooders and think that the lack of guns will be good. They are deceived by the darkness playing like the good guy in their minds. The fhu.com has a really great “be still” free download for those who would like to become free from the insanity that works through our minds. We are living in a matrix, it’s difficult to see lost in thoughts.
Don't read the rest of the letters at the link, then. Pretty much all of them advocate disasterous socialist ideals of some kind or another.
Also, EVERYWHERE carry laws have been loosened, "impulsive" shootings have dropped, not increased. The "blood in the streets" doom and gloom never happens. Same for road rage.
Speaking personally, I find that carrying a firearm makes me feel more confident and less apt to get angry over stupid stuff. Quite the opposite of the authors idiotic premise.
I had to lock mine in a safe because they were going out drinking and fighting at night.
Beat me to it. I could have saved myself the typing had I read further down the thread before posting. ;-)
Then here’s another one from Fred you might enjoy!

In fact, it doesn't. In state after state that has passed concealed carry laws, the violent crime rate went down.
How do the leftists respond when such evidence refutes their cherished beliefs?
Why, they lie about it...
In 1979? This is code for "I am a jagoff who watched Serpico too many times."
Supported by the fact that he never bothered to learn the difference in a "clip" and a "magazine".
I hope the paper that published this gets a few rebuttals to this lackey of the silky pony...
So I had to threaten them with taking away their ammo for a week. That settled them down.
That's the P-G for you. Capitalism built Pittsburgh but these people somehow believe socialism will revive it.
sorry.. lol
The only firearm I had with “clips” was an Enfield .303, and that used Stripper Clips !!
From the article: “When the year ended I sold the gun back to the gun shop I bought it from, for what I paid for it. I was glad it was gone.”
Fred...you did the right thing. We are all safer by your actions. Just be hopeful that someone without your confused sense of morality is around to help you out when the fecal matter comes in direct contact with the rotating air current generator.
Lock and Load.
Nomenclatures
Early on, self loading rifles and pistols were called “automatics”
and most people understood they reloaded automatically, but were not machine guns
Now people are so ignorant that they figure “automatic” is a machine gun that can empty itself with one trigger pull...
“It was a 9 mm Browning automatic with 14 rounds in a clip.”
No, it wasn’t.
Those who beat their swords into plow shears will plow for those who do not!
Famous quote
Man alive, that would cause waves or orgasmic pleasure all through the congress if they were to read that. I bet some of the elder statemen would absolutely die in a state of ecstatic euphoria.
Fred is a complete idiot in the same vein as the nazi youth!
I am literally more afraid of people like him than murderers and terrorists.
Throw a Hi Point or Lorcin in the safe and they’ll all pick on it and leave each other alone.
Classical case of projection. He believes that his unacceptable thoughts can actually be influenced by an inanimate object, therefor NO ONE should have guns.
What do you expect from that commie rag “The Pittsburgh Post Gazette?
The Trib-Review is the ONLY paper worth reading in the Steel City and even Scaife’s paper is more of a Rockefeller Republican organ.
Clip-magazine-in some circles the terms are very interchangeable, although not technically correct.
His poor use of terms should not be the issue we focus on, rather the elitist/statist bent of his monotribe.
The liberal media knows what it is doing-confusing the facts (the sun does in fact rise in the east, just as the right to self-defense (with arms) is a fact, enacted both by our Creator, not by a group of men with liberty on their minds, they simply wrote it down.
Man tends to counterfeit all of God’s principles (thereby elevating man to some higher level, I guess).
The problem is that many if not most Americans swallow these camels w/o a sinlge gag reflex....
That is the scary part!
MOLON LABE
God Bless
Do you have link for that? It's not that I doubt it, I believe it with all my heart. It's just useful to have sources when arguing with hoplophobes. Not that facts have any effect on the mentally ill.
And the goobermint should ban knives and forks too. Only plastic sporks (spoon with slight fork cuts in the tip) should be allowed. The goobermint should come around and cut people’s food for them. That is the only safe thing to do. People just can’t be trusted.
Is this similar to the techniques revealed in “The Cloud of Unknowing”?
Picking a nit, but it pretty much shows the authors lack of serious firearms knowledge.
too funny.
