if it throws lead, I like it

now that's a good attitude. My favorite piece right now is my .54 cal Early Virginia Style long rifle from TVM...I like the whole thing...loading, patching, shooting, what to do when your ramrod gets stuck, the tools like powderhorn or flask and powder measure, patchknife, etc. It's fun. I like it alot. And that smell of sulfur in the air...can't understand why people who come by when we're shooting wrinkle up their noses like there's something stinky about the smell....

If it throws lead, I like it.

John Kerry: If it throws lead, I hate it and will take it from you. Next we'll have assault slingshots. Assault spitballs?

New tagline for me.

I'm getting so fed up with this anti gun crap we have to deal with that I'm on the verge of buying a full-auto just because I can. The fees are stiff, but it's the principle. I think if Kerry is elected, we should each hurry and buy a full-auto and 5,000 rounds of ammo, just to send the message that we not going to give up easlily. It is our RIGHT to own even full auto. MOLON LABE. (means: "Come and get them"). Google that term - interesting background if you're not familiar.

I'm with ya although I'm afraid my budget is limited, but I think I can buy a few bricks of ammo for my .22LR rifle. B-) Still though, after seeing that debate between Wayne LaPierre and that Aussie chick that wants to ban all firearms by UN fiat, all I can say is MOLON LABE!

You Terrorist you!

Yet another reason we need tort reform in this country.

Actually we need "stupid" reform in this country.

Maybe you should auction off a picture if this allegedly sinister piece of hardware. Then you can describe exactly how this item came by it's pedigree as an "assault weapon accessory" in the item description, for everyone to see.

[RightthinkinAmerican]

And THEY call Bush voters retarded.

[RightthinkinAmerican]

You're not allowed even to mention an assault weapon in the listing. Not that they're hysterical or anything (smirk). Ebay's as effective as lefty gun laws though, it takes about 5 seconds to go around their screening - just type a$$ault weapon instead. Real smart operation they got there. Fire Meg Whitman!

Hey guy, eBay pulls auctions for Daisy BB guns, such as the Targeteer. This little indoor pistol barely shots across the room and wouldn't kill a sparrow. Remember eBay is located in California where a child's cap pistol is treated like a deadly weapon.

[RightthinkinAmerican]

HILARIOUS tag line.

[RightthinkinAmerican]

.220 Swift - stop lurking! : )

[SirLurkedalot]

LMAO!

[RightthinkinAmerican]

Absolute silence from eBay. Not even the courtesy of a reply. Shameful.

[asgardshill]

Agree. There are so many other, better places to trade in firearms and supplies on the Internet.

[SirLurkedalot]

Figures.

[Tijeras_Slim]

I work too hard for my money to give it to those who don't appreciate it. I'm sure you do to.

[RightthinkinAmerican]

Well, now a blindingly idiotic response after I thorougly explaioned this is not for an HK-94!

Thank you for taking the time to write eBay with your concerns. I'm happy to help you further. The HK-94 is listed as an assault weapon, therefore any part or accessory that is marketed as being for the HK-94 is not allowed. You may review our policy at the following links:

Ugh! Sickening.

I'll just bet that they're worried about being sued (thanks, John Edwards!).
