Secret newsflash: Australia really sucks.

A lot of folks do not realize that.

Their populace is cowed. They take PC to the next level, and they allow the white girls to be attacked and raped en masse by muslims.

Like it or not it is we who are the last hope for a free world. I look to no one but my fellow Americans for that. Every other culture has been a deep disappointment.

My absolute favorite part of going to the range is trading guns with folks and trying them out. I like to let people shoot my Mosin and feel the kick. A fun time is had by all.

It’s almost like a “community”, if my people were allowed to have a community, which we are not.

I read the article, too. He’s defined by the first four letters of his name.

You knew it was stupid with the “feels like a bazooka” comment. I’ve fired those things in basic training and they aren’t remotely like firing a rifle, and feel nothing like a rifle when you’re aiming or shooting.

You all nailed it with the recoil; we used M16’s in RVN, but I was attached to the Koreans as an artillery FO (8”/175mm). The ROK patrols I’d go out with used “acquired” AK’s. I much preferred them, with the kick and all.

Today I keep an “AR10” (Winchester .308/7.62x51). It’s a beauty and kicks very nicely.

Lord, protect us from the media.

“This girl would gladly spend a few hours firing an AR. And I wouldn’t be whining about how scary it was afterward”

Have you ever? I’m sure some Freeper in your neck of the woods would love to introduce you to one.

First shot is .357, #2,#3,#4 and #5 are .38+P. My thought is, let that first shot be an accurate attention getter and pants Shi#$%r. If I can connect on the first round, I hope to be able to move and shoot with the rest if needed.

I laughed a LOT when I read that a couple of days ago. Panty-waist is what we used to call folks like that.

I read that article. There are so many things wrong with it I seriously doubt he actually fired an AR.

Indeed. This is in the league of those racial/homophobic/Islamophobia slurs people claim they have suffered.

Their distant cousins are the "I am a gun owner/NRA ember, but . . ." articles.

I find New York Daily News reporter Gersh Kuntzmann’s article greatly OFFENSIVE. Like you my younger years were rough and tumble. I spent my adult life in the Army. In that life I was lucky to raise 3 wonderful children. We spent our lives around using rifles like the Springfield .03. The Army had me using many types of “rifle” like the M1, M14 & M16. I was fortunate enough to be allowed to teach my kids how to use all of them.

My son got watch A “Mad - Minute Demo and firing of the 1911 .45 M79 Bloop, 75mm Cannon, 155mm cannon, 175mm cannon. There were no Tears unlike New York Daily News reporter Gersh Kuntzmann would have and probably soiled his pants.

A T/C Contender with a 10 inch .223 barrel will draw some attention.

The name seems completely appropriate.

I have to wonder what he would think if he pulled off a round from my .416 Rigby if he is beat up by the fierce recoil of a 5.56mm.

My 10-year old granddaughter shoots an AR15 with no problems, as a matter of fact, it is a great rifle for kids to learn with because of the collapsible stock. My grandson shot his first deer with my BCM AR15 as well, for this reason.

I would love for this delicate flower to fire a Mosin M44 or .12 gauge with a slug round.

My son has one, but unfortunately I have not had a chance to fire it yet. With all the talk of banning, I am considering buying one in the near future. The problem is I have a propensity to lose them in a boating accident as soon as I get them....
