My father claimed to have killed a rooster with a Ma Deuce during WWII. (It was attacking his tank.) Single shot took the head clean off. I never met any witnesses to this, but I’ve seen and heard enough about his shooting to believe it. He did pretty much the same thing to a running jack rabbit with a .300 Savage. It wasn’t even his rifle.
Damn. I held that thing years ago and almost dropped the plastic for around $1200. Pet it for me tonight.
Thanks. I’m a gunstore owner/gunsmith and these elitist, $30,000 shotgun shootin’, latte lappers really piss me off. I despise them and their underhanded tactics. We are being assailed by fake bastards like this and those idiots at the “American Hunters & Shooters Association.” They are not 2nd Amendment supporters!
Just wait until next Wednesday if Obambi wins. There will be sales records broken, bad economy or not.
My first answer was nobody, but after reading your response, I must agree.
After WACO and the armed Government Thugs kidnapping that poor little Cuban boy and sending him back to live under Communism, I would put nothing past these wonderful “Progressives”.
I will pray that the people in this country aren't that stupid, but I will be prepared just in case they are.
Think AMMO
Your weapon is useless without it.
“Well, McCain is not perfect at a “C” rating, but compared to Obamao’s “F” rating he is darn near Charlton Heston.”
McCain probably isn’t as bad as Obama on this issue, but an NRA “C” rating is terrible. NRA gives an “A” to just about anyone, including those who vote for gun control, so long as the gun control is supported by NRA.
Obama won’t immediately ban guns, but a Democrat controlled Congress will try just about everything else to enact a defacto gun ban, including licensing, registration, ammunition taxes, gun-free (no safety) zones etc.
We musn’t forget that even under current law, a gun owner takes a risk whenever he/she drives past a government school with a firearm in the car. It wouldn’t take any change in federal law for a Hussein Obama administration to set up a few BATFE check points around government schools, and start making arrests.
What do they have? A database full of these “lifelong Republican” fools?
You’d need a fork lift to carry that cop. I just wish I had a picture of the two police officers I saw downtown. We are talking 6-700 pounds of LEO standing on four flat feet.
Good find!
They will not take our guns. Instead, the stealth way to deal the second amendment a death is to heavily tax ammunition (CA tried to do this several years ago by placing say a 50 cent per shell tax on each load).
Buy more ammo now while you can afford it.

Fellow Sportsman,
Hello, my name is Rich Pearson and I have been active in the firearm rights movement for over 40 years. For the past 15 years, I have served in the Illinois state capitol as the chief lobbyist for the Illinois State Rifle Association.
I lobbied Barack Obama extensively while he was an Illinois State Senator. As a result of that experience, I know Obama’s attitudes toward guns and gun owners better than anyone. The truth be told, in all my years in the Capitol I have never met a legislator who harbors more contempt for the law-abiding firearm owner than Barack Obama.
Although Obama claims to be an advocate for the 2nd Amendment, his voting record in the Illinois Senate paints a very different picture. While a state senator, Obama voted for a bill that would ban nearly every hunting rifle, shotgun and target rifle owned by Illinois citizens. That same bill would authorize the state police to raid homes of gun owners and forcibly confiscate banned guns. Obama supported a bill that would shut down law-abiding firearm manufacturers including Springfield Armory, Armalite, Rock River Arms and Les Baer. Obama also voted for a bill that would prohibit law-abiding citizens from purchasing more than one gun per month.
Without a doubt, Barack Obama has proven himself to be an enemy of the law abiding firearm owner. At the same time, Obama has proven himself to be a friend to the hardened criminal. While a state senator, Obama voted 4 times against legislation that would allow a homeowner to use a firearm in defense of home and family.
Does Barack Obama still sound to you like a “friend” of the law-abiding gun owner?
And speaking of friends, you can always tell a person by the company they keep. Obama counts among his friends the Rev. Michael Pfleger - a renegade Chicago priest who has openly called for the murder of gun shop owners and pro-gun legislators. Then there is his buddy Richard Daley, the mayor of Chicago who has declared that if it were up to him, nobody would be allowed to own a gun. And let’s not forget Obama’s pal George Soros - the guy who has pumped millions of dollars into the UN’s international effort to disarm law-abiding citizens.
Obama has shown that he is more than willing to use other people’s money to fund his campaign to take your guns away from you. While a board member of the leftist Joyce Foundation, Barack Obama wrote checks for tens of millions of dollars to extremist gun control organizations such as the Illinois Council Against Handgun Violence and the Violence Policy Center.
Does Barack Obama still sound to you like a “friend” of the law-abiding gun owner?

By now, I’m sure that many of you have received mailings from an organization called “American Hunters and Shooters Association(AHSA)” talking about what a swell fellow Obama is and how he honors the 2nd Amendment and how you will never have to worry about Obama coming to take your guns. Let me make it perfectly clear - everything the AHSA says about Obama is pure hogwash. The AHSA is headed by a group of left-wing elitists who subscribe to the British view of hunting and shooting. That is, a state of affairs where hunting and shooting are reserved for the wealthy upper-crust who can afford guided hunts on exclusive private reserves. The AHSA is not your friend, never will be.
In closing, I’d like to remind you that I’m a guy who has actually gone nose to nose with Obama on gun rights issues. The Obama I know cannot even begin to identify with this nation’s outdoor traditions. The Obama I know sees you, the law abiding gun owner, as nothing but a low-class lummox who is easily swayed by the flash of a smile and a ration of rosy rhetoric. The Obama I know is a stony-faced liar who has honed his skill at getting what he wants - so long as people are willing to give it to him.
That’s the Barack Obama I know.
Sincerely,
(original signed)
Richard A. Pearson
Executive Director
Illinois State Rifle Association
I have the original PDF FReep mail me if you want it.
Exactly. BTW, I hope business is good for you right now too.
Carlos Hathcock had some 1000+ yard kills with an M-2. "Pretty accurate," indeed.
Yes he did... But the one that was most amazing was the shot that cut the frame of the "mule" bicycle into two pieces, in an attempt to avoid having to kill a child being used as a "mule." It was after the child being used as a "mule" picked up one of the AK-47s he was transporting and shot back that Hathcock took him out.
