You may say that I’m a dreamer. But I’m not the only one. I hope some day you’ll join me. And the whole Islamic world will know we live with guns.

She later nicknamed that Smith and Wesson Model 640 “Smithy” and now claims it as her own. In fact, she won’t let me shoot it without her express permission.

*sigh* All of the good ones are taken.

I have one gun, I use it for shooting snakes and crows. I just don't feel comfortable at all with a firearm --

But the only time my husband ever took me target shooting was right after we married almost 32 years ago, and I was a better shot than he, at the time. And it was fun.

My wife and I played out our version of "extremism" at the range yesterday. I was trying out my new 275 gr 500 S&W loads in the T/C Encore Katahdin 20" 500 S&W barrel. My wife was on the table next to me shooting 17M2 from her Magnum Research rifle. The wimpy 17M2 next to the S&W 500 Magnum. My shoulder was quite aware of the difference. My Christmas present will be Savage MKII-FV in 17M2 topped with a BSA Sweet 17 Mach II scope so we can both shoot for the smallest group with no shoulder pain :-) She's currently leaving 1 inch groups at 100 yds. The rifle is capable of 0.3". I prefer the Savage precision trigger to the lengthy creep on the Ruger type trigger mechanism.

I was an avid rabbit hunter in high school. My wife is a master falconer. She normally gets her rabbits with a Red Tail hawk. The 17M2 is a fine rabbit/squirrel rifle. The rabbit population is returning in southeast Idaho.

Good Christmas idea, no?

Jefferson:

No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms. The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government.

The laws that forbid the carrying of arms are laws of such nature. They disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes... such laws serve rather to encourage than to prevent homocides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man. ('Commonplace Book' 1775)

Hey Mike S. Adams - I'm a lefty, buy ME a gun for Christmas. What? You say I'm not a lefty - well ok, I shoot right handed, but I can stand to your left. Huh, that doesn't count either?

But, but - I'll vote democrat if you don't buy me a gun. What's that you say? You know I couldn't possibly do that because you know about my gun collection? How'd you know about that?

OK,OK - I just thought as long as you were being generous... and I'm not too comfy about seeing a gun in the hands of a liberal, anyway. Yeah, it might work - but don't you remember that picture of John 'I was in Viet Nam' Kerry where he was fixing the sling on his rifle and it was pointed at his head? Man, what a doofus.

Happy huntin', Mike.

I know plenty of Democrats that are armed to the teeth. It is BS that conservatives have all the guns.

I have an AK-47 with a heavy duty bipod, the L shaped squad automatic buttstock for prone firing, and a 75 round drum. I take my liberal professor friends to the range with a case of ammo and about a hundred water filled plastic bottles.

I put them in the prone position on my shooting mat and just sit there loading magazines while they gradually lose their minds. At first they fire one or two shots at a time and try to aim carefully for every shot. After about ten minutes there's a steady stream of spent brass flying out the ejection port.

They have a terrific time, but because they're liberals, after a few days they gradually start to feel guilty about having had fun shooting such an evil weapon. Then I take them back to the range again. Eventually, they are buying all the ammunition and the beer after the shoot.

A couple joined the NRA and bought SKS and Ruger .22 rifles. I'm converting anti-gunners, slowly but surely, the old-fashioned way... one at a time.
