This is Slate?!

“Firearms scare almost everybody”? F’in metrosexuals.

The next big thing on the horizon will be the demonization of gun owners. Obama’s folks and their MSM lackeys will paint gun owners as worse than smokers, SUV owners and molesters.

Firearms scare almost everybody.

Only if you're on the wrong end of one.

When Klinton came into office you could buy an AK 47 for as low as $35 and when he went out they were close to $1000. Want a logical investment? In the 60”s the M1 Garand was less than $50 and now CMP sells them for $500 and gun shows at $1000+. Military surplus weapons have increased about 12% and double in about 10 years. What has BO done to cause a rush on guns and collapse of the stock market? Think about it.

Looking for wisdom - I will be purchasing ammunition for a 12 gauge shotgun and for a Glock 19 this week.

1) Do you have any recommendations for what brand and how much to buy?

2) As a medium of exchange, when the dollar tanks, which would be better to hold as a store of wealth for barter?

The press is the enemy of the constitution

Firearms scare almost everybody.

By themselves, no. But when handled by an idiot or an enemy some serious caution may be warranted.

Firearms scare almost everybody.

Oh really???

Firearms scare almost everybody.

It depends on which end of the firearm you're standing.

“Firearms scare almost everybody.”

Not me. Unless it is pointed at me by some jerk. Even then, it isn’t the firearm, it is the jerk!

I am glad the article ‘spooks’ people. Undoubtedly candy-assed uberlibs who cower at the thought of even a pen knife.

Perhaps if I wear my NRA badge, they will believe I waas just coming back from the local gun emporium with my daily load of bazookas and mortars!

"Firearms scare almost everybody."

Homosexuals, communists, criminals, fascists, terrorists, Jonestown people, anarchists, Obamatrons and other registered democrats all share a fear of intelligent and ARMED Americans.

They want us all disarmed so that they can rule over us with an iron fist.

“Firearms scare almost everybody.” Now there’s a good, unbiased beginning to an article. Pretty much puts the rest of the read on an intellectual and probity par with Alice in Wonderland or Jimmy has two Mommies.

NOT having a firearm scares me!

Isn;t it Slate that publishes from a mental institution — or is that Salon?

[freemike]

Every time I read a story like this, they show a photo of a gun I’d like to buy.

Firearms scare almost everybody.

I believe that is what our founding fathers had in mind when writing the Second Amendment.

[Citizen Tom Paine]

Firearms don’t scare me, or my neighbors purchasing firearms. I figure when they come for me, the will be armed and ready to fight. When they come for them, I will stand by their side. I hope all of them are crack shots with lots of ammo.

"Firearms (in private hands) scare almost everybody (in the f'ing government).

There, fixed it
