Bob Beckel on Fox news asked yesterday, "Why does anyone need an "assault rifle"?
I thought...Why does anyone need a 900 HP muscle car?...they could drive an East German wondercar like the Trabant or a Yaris or some other meager means of transport which aren't so "wasteful and dangerous". Why is there 1st class seating on airliners? Why are there multi CPU, overclocked computers when a plain vanilla Dell would be adequate?
I know you could come up with many more examples like this.
There are many choices we have the privledge to make because we live in this wonderful country. Some of the choices are wasteful, frivolous or dangerous to some. One of the choices we have is the weapon we choose. Whether it's for sport or protection...it's our choice...like many things in our life. You know...."assault weapons" are not Automatic weapons...they are the same mechanically as some hunting rifles with just a change in the stock design...with maybe a pistol grip added. They look more dangerous to these communists in the house and senate so they want to get rid of them. Most don't know a thing about firearms.
We have, and enjoy owning all types of guns because we are Americans and have freedom of choice. It would be wrong to take guns away from good and lawful people. You know the criminals won't give up there's. This is just another lie from the left.
very true that.
All these outlets keep telling us about a NY, NJ, CT local story, well maybe they need to get out of there and see how America lives.
They think it;s all about where they live.
Like you said Sandy, but hardly anything about certain tornado’s, flooding in Tn etc
Those old military rifles are a hoot ... A Good Day at the Range = drag out the Enfield, the Garand and the Mosin.
I love that rifle.
nope don;t remember any boy nor do I remember any mother thinking it;s OK and then harping on about how she wants her boy to play with them.
Do remember us boys playing cowboys and indians, cops and robers, we shot each other eevry day and not one of us has done a mass killing
THose days are gone. It saddens me; I don’t recognize the country I live in anymore.
Why?
To keep the government from loading me onto a cattle car.
Maybe not now, but as long as they’ve got guns there’s a chance it could happen.
Hell yes.
Thanks for the ping to the thread, humblegunner. Why do we need socialists/totalitarians questioning what we need? Why do we need POS traitorous politicians questioning how we defend our lives, liberty, property and undermining our constitutional and god-given rights?
We don’t need either.
Why does any country need a liberal?
I’ve owned lots of guns in my time but since I’ve always been on a low assault diet it’s never been a problem no matter what the type of gun.
We have the same side-arm weapons the military has available to them, either to fight with, or God-forbid, against them.
So we can pillory them in the public square, and throw rotten fruit at them.
I'll grant you that the supply necessary to meet that need is really quite small ...
same here , how we need a President Ronald Reagan today because one thing is for sure this guy who has never had a proper job , done a proper days work, who ues state for enforcing laws and ignoring states which ignore laws is never going to promote what made this country great.
“Bob Beckel on Fox news asked yesterday, “Why does anyone need an “assault rifle”?”
Ask the citizens of Mexico fatso.
Because Flame Throwers are too heavy?
WIN
Also, who else will ask us if we want to supersize our fries?
Hell yes, indeed. I like the way you talk.
...”Since when is America meant to be arranged...”
I absolutely love that response. I’ll be using it on a regular basis! Well said! To the point. Excellent!
