Myths the Media Perpetuate About Gun Control
Real Clear Politics ^ | August 1, 2020 | John R. Lott, Jr.

Posted on 08/01/2020 9:53:05 AM PDT by rogerantone1

I’ve heard that the communists in the House have voted to Red Flag all military personnel in that bill. INSANE.
They’ve got to be scared spitless to do that.

I just bought a Remington 700 this morning. It has gotten so complicated that it surely keeps some people from buying.

The last one I bought was 3 or 4 years ago and much less trouble.

It took almost an hour for approval, by then I was home. I have to go back tomorrow to pay for it then wait until Wednesday to pick it up.

It was one heck of a bargain. Walmart is clearing them out and this was apparently the last one left. I was paying for a tire when I noticed it. $199.00 for 700 ADL with a scope already mounted and bore sighted.

Years ago I bought a used Rem 700 ADL in .308 from a local shop for $299. It looked like it had never been shot. I thought I got a great deal. Your deal puts mine to shame. I didn’t even get a scope.

Bought a handgun in January. Took 15 minutes from start to finish and out the door I went with it

But, I live in a Free State

I have owned several 700s over the years and they were all fine rifles.

Reading reviews just a few minutes ago, the finish has apparently gone down. The saving grace is they still seem to shoot an inch or less at 100 yards.

The world is safer when good people are armed.
Dems and Liberals work for the criminals.

When I was a kid, I dreamed of a nice walnut stock on an 700 BDL in 30-06. There was just something about it that I liked.

That’s an interesting take on that. I never thought of it that way before.

Looking at their legislation proposals in light of that is very illuminating.

A correction, if I may.....

The democrats and liberals ARE the criminals.

****$199.00 for 700 ADL with a scope already mounted and bore sighted.***

WHAAAAT! I paid $129.00 for an ADL back in 1971 with no scope! Impressed checkering, not carved. You got a bargain!

Inflation rate calculator says my 1971 Remington should cost over $800 today.

True. Whenever I mention, Libs, Dems, Communists, Radicals, Deviants, Criminals and Mentally ill, I tend to repeat myself.
