Insults are not the best way to inform those who are less knowledgeable or committed. Most “Fudds” are on our side and more amenable to semi-autos than you give credit for.
The Grabber Left has seized on this self-created division amongst shooters to further divide us, as evidenced by this article. Don’t make their job easier.
Don’t you believe it.
I refuse to patronize the largest, oldest, and most well known shooting range in my area because the let it be well known they are a “brown rifle” club. “Black rifles” are not welcome. They have enacted rules specifically designed to alienate and marginalize even full members of the club who favor military and/or fighting oriented firearms.
And if that “gator” in your handle means your are from or in Florida, you’ve probably heard of this range. At one time it had the largest membership in the entire country.
