The Machine Gun Shoot Competition happened at the Knob Creek Gun Range in Kentucky this weekend in which hundreds of machine gun dealers, owners and enthusiasts showed up to fire four rounds at random appliances and vehicles.
The Knob Creek Gun Range websites describes this event with similar giddiness and rhetoric of a 13-year-old at a “Return of the King” premiere, stating:
“..The charges are set off by the impact of the bullets. Creating large and small mushroom clouds and fire balls from hell!”
It’s true. Astute men, women and judging from the FAQ sheet on their website inquiring what kind of gun to buy a child, even children, gather to shoot at and explode various objects to: Prove a point of freedom? To ascertain the redneck’s dominance over inconspicuous home appliances? To scare away Tom Robinson?
Whatever the reason, it didn’t seem that the Machine Gun Competition was enough to settle the burdening desire, rather, God given right, no, necessity, to shoot at and blow stuff up. So naturally there was also an Assault Rifle Competition, Old Military Bolt Rifle Competition, K.C.R Shotgun Competition, K.C.R Practical Pistol Competition and the regular old Military Gun Show.
To further christen the event, Rand Paul showed up and called out Obama for trying to take away gun owners’ divine rights:
“The president says that you’re out here in the middle of the country clinging to your guns and ammunition. What I tell the President is, ‘We’re clinging to our guns, our religions and our ammunition.’”
Of course you are, what with these damn liberals running around demanding civil rights, equal opportunity and same sex marriage we need some level-headed people with the machine capability to mow down anyone that stands in their way of having rights.

If we truly had the “right to bear arms” I could own my own howitzer. On 2nd thought I guess if I really wanted one, I could own a “non-functional” howitzer, but no shells.
If that upsets our Lib audience, so be it.
I used a revolver with snake-shot 5 times last year at ranges of less than 2 meters to keep from dying from rattle-snake bite.
Is a pretty handy tool, depending on where you live.

I want an M1 Abrams ... just sayin’
I dont even know what she is yammering about.
Tannerite is the greatest target ever invented.
Ermy did a show from the Knob Creek Shoot one year. Great stuff! My son used to drive up from Montgomery, AL to participate. His class three license had him bringing some really nifty stuff, too! He even developed a line of sub-sonic 9mm ammo and sold it up there.
I would like to own something really cutting edge. Like a shoulder launched heat seeking personnel rocket. The kind of thing that could shoot around corners and hit its target by thermal signature. I know it is out there.
Screw the gun-grabbers, when Dr. Trips hits and/or the Zombie apocalypse begins, I’ll be sitting pretty on my little arsenal. Mwahahahaha.
Har Har.
I shoot over at Knob Creek. FYI, Project Appleseed is holding an event there on 10/23 & 10/24, for which I have registered.
And personally I think it is pretty darn funny:
“Why Should I Own a Gun?”
“Personal protection
Sport shooting
Hunting
Competition
Just because the Democrats don’t want you to have one”
Want to know what my daughter said when she moved out here to KY? Hey dad, let’s get our CCDW licenses just because it it will piss off the liberals.
Actually, I think anyone, especially a woman, would be better served by a slightly larger caliber pistol. Less flip, more push. With even a little practice that should virtually eliminate potential 9mm cycling issues that new shooters can have. Not to mention increased stopping power and quicker second shots on target...
Have to say that I have never seen general understanding or higher education protect someone from a mugger, rapist, home intruder, violent spouse, etc...
Weapons store???
2M? Ain’t that about 6’?
Stripped of the childish rhetoric& inane context, she is correct.
That is exactly why the 2nd amendment is incorporated in the Constitution.
After all, George Washington and the other forefathers of America did not sit down to tea with the English.
They shot them.
If thats real I want one for my daughter & wife.
Honestly, I will get it just to piss of any liberals around us!

Cool chick gun. Too bad they weren't around in the '80s.

No rules against picking and choosing your weights and measures units. Not yet, anyway.
There is nothing more fun than firing a crew served weapon. GIs piss and moan when the have to go to the M16 or pistol range but schedule an M60 or M2 range and everyone is gung-ho. Belt fed = fun!
