And that's with only one bullet and even taking into consideration the fact that Barney is dead.

I'm surrounded by my guns. Are they holding me hostage?
Naaa, they're looking over my shoulder reading FR threads.
I sent Mr. Daly a pleasant (No! Really!) email explaining firearms and their place in American society. It probably won't change his mind, but he'll have to go to the split second of effort to delete it.
I'll post any response I get if it's as intemperate as I would expect.
LOL...Sissy Boy Daley was having the vapors watching real Americans have fun at the NRA convention. He can thank fathers, mothers, and grandparents for passing along shooting know-how to the next generation. That's how we keep our freedom, so that Sissy Boy can write his little articles. May the NRA's numbers increase. And isn't it odd how all these shooting atrocities he mentioned occur in NYC, where no guns are allowed? Outlawing guns must not be working out too well there in spite of Bloomberg and the other liberals being in charge.
You can practically hear him wetting himself.
No doubt enjoying today's posts as mine is.
Nice post which enlisted great responses for the most part. Is everyone on this thread watching the UN/SOROS GUN BAN TREATY. Get on the backs of your legislators. We need the UN out of our constitution; The UN out of the US; and then, the US out of the UN.</p>
LOL. Who could have guessed she is such a monster. Run for your lives.
Well at least he had his prejudicial agenda laid out before arriving. All he had to do was note certain manufacturers locations on the convention floor. Then act like it was an article.
What a puke..
You missed his planted assumption, that other states' permissiveness is what is getting New Yorkers killed.A total gun ban should be national. Actually the imposition of a worldwide gun ban would probably get liberals' support for war.
These are Russian-made, but reportedly of good quality, and should be around $500. They also have good cheap hammerless single-shots including a youth model, but like you, I am interested in the double for my boy.
I'm thinking of getting a side-by-side 28 ga., and spending another couple of hundred to get the stock and barrels cut down and my kid's name engraved on it. It would be a family heirloom that his great-great-grandchildren could enjoy shooting.

michael daly did not write this story... this story was written by his apple computer word processing program... a misguided statement here or there and no individual had anything to do with it, just like the innocents killed by stray bullets or evil guns.

I'm sure Mr. Daly would throw conniption fits if he were to be around some of those violent, contrary old white men who founded this country. Who not only pledged, but gave "our lives, our fortunes, our sacred honor" to create a country where the likes of Mr. Daly have the right to spew their ignorant venom in the guise of "jounalism".
"The Constitution of most of our states (and of the United States) assert that all power is inherent in the people; that they may exercise it by themselves; that it is their right and duty to be at all times armed."
--Thomas Jefferson.
"A free people ought not only to be armed and disciplined but they should have sufficient arms and ammunition to maintain a status of independence from any who might attempt to abuse them, which would include their own government."
-- George Washington
"False is the idea of utility that sacrifices a thousand real advantages for one imaginary or trifling inconvenience; that would take fire from men because it burns, and water because one may drown in it; that has no remedy for evils, except destruction. The laws that forbid the carrying of arms are laws of such a nature. They disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes....Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man."
--Thomas Jefferson's "Commonplace Book," 1774-1776, quoting 18th century criminologist Cesare Beccaria in "On Crimes and Punishment", 1764
Mr. Daly also exhibits the stultifying lack of intelligence, common sense and common courtesy that today's "journalist's" seem to strive to outdo each other in displaying their said lack. Mr. Twain had a much higher opinion of such than I can certainly dredge up:
"Do not fear the enemy, for your enemy can only take your life. It is far better that you fear the media, for they will steal your HONOR. That awful power, the public opinion of a nation, is created in America by a horde of ignorant, self-complacent simpletons who failed at ditching and shoe making and fetched up in journalism on their way to the poor house."
-- Mark Twain
The only disagreement with Mr. Twain that I have on that note is that I really can't see either ditching or shoe making to be such lowly level occupations compared to "journalist". In fact, I figure that there probably were- and are- more people of intelligence, honor and common sense in the poor house than in most editorial suites.
But then again, I consider journalists, politicians and lawyers to be the dregs of society, far below the occupations of crack whore and rapist. And they seem to strive daily to display behavior to confirm my judgement of them.
Italian shotguns tend to be decent, but I don't know what gun you looked at. Also, a single barrel should be OK to start trap shooting, for singles we're only allowed on round in the gun at the line at a time.
The suggestions for 28 gage were pretty good, Dick Cheney used that gun to pepper lawy.... errr, hunt pheasant.
Because we all know that those pink-handled pistols are very popular with the Bloods and the Crips and the Latin Kings and MS-13. Yep, NYPD is forever catching the gang-bangers with those things.
