Why Should You Own A Gun? [Lib whiner]

The Machine Gun Shoot Competition happened at the Knob Creek Gun Range in Kentucky this weekend in which hundreds of machine gun dealers, owners and enthusiasts showed up to fire four rounds at random appliances and vehicles.

The Knob Creek Gun Range websites describes this event with similar giddiness and rhetoric of a 13-year-old at a “Return of the King” premiere, stating:

“..The charges are set off by the impact of the bullets. Creating large and small mushroom clouds and fire balls from hell!”

It’s true. Astute men, women and judging from the FAQ sheet on their website inquiring what kind of gun to buy a child, even children, gather to shoot at and explode various objects to: Prove a point of freedom? To ascertain the redneck’s dominance over inconspicuous home appliances? To scare away Tom Robinson?

Whatever the reason, it didn’t seem that the Machine Gun Competition was enough to settle the burdening desire, rather, God given right, no, necessity, to shoot at and blow stuff up. So naturally there was also an Assault Rifle Competition, Old Military Bolt Rifle Competition, K.C.R Shotgun Competition, K.C.R Practical Pistol Competition and the regular old Military Gun Show.

To further christen the event, Rand Paul showed up and called out Obama for trying to take away gun owners’ divine rights:

“The president says that you’re out here in the middle of the country clinging to your guns and ammunition. What I tell the President is, ‘We’re clinging to our guns, our religions and our ammunition.’”

Of course you are, what with these damn liberals running around demanding civil rights, equal opportunity and same sex marriage we need some level-headed people with the machine capability to mow down anyone that stands in their way of having rights.

If we truly had the “right to bear arms” I could own my own howitzer. On 2nd thought I guess if I really wanted one, I could own a “non-functional” howitzer, but no shells.

Who do you think you are...one of those uppity residents of Lexington, Concord, or the surrounding towns who heard the British were coming to confiscate their cannons and ammunition?!

Those are the Crown's howitzers and you have no right to them, I'll have you know!

Note the state, too...

...and actually, the cannon was provided to him by New York!

Why don't they offer firearms training in high schools? Or, do they?

People flip out when I tell them that my father required his high-school students to carry guns to school--on the school bus. He was the Rifle Team coach.

Many students took their guns into school to work on in shop.

G.E. minigun I'll bet there is a lot of paperwork. Had to do a search for a pic and it had a related link to the Vulcan 20mm.

Easier: get yourself a Lahti or a Solothurn, get surplus 20mm ammo, turn the drive bands down 0.008 on a lathe, and reload the brass yourself.

Yeah, I read "Unintended Consequences."

The reason they are removing all references to guns from schools is that they want to diminish or eliminate the American “gun culture”.

When someone grows up without any exposure to guns as tools,
they don’t see any reason NOT to restrict or prohibit ownership of them.

Like a shoulder launched heat seeking personnel rocket. The kind of thing that could shoot around corners and hit its target by thermal signature. I know it is out there.

Technology, yes. Weapon, no. Anything that goes around corners and seeks out people autonomously is likely to kill more allies than enemies.

I guess y’all missed the name of the author of the article.

There isn’t anyone with the surname “Shuffledbean” in any directory anywhere, which leads me to the conclusion that this article IS a rather huge sarcasm tag.

a Lahti or a Solothurn

Thanks for the suggestion, have seen those weapons. In fact my father was an armorer during WWII and maintained Quad 50's and 20mm Bofors. He has been a hunter all his life. At 84 he is still a very good shot and his gun collection is large. Nicest guy in the world, but don't mess with the old gray eagles.

I had a friend when I live in NM that owned a Naval Cannon which he fired on the 4th of July. Very Very heavy. He had a special carriage built for it, but the steel rims on the wheels were not very wide and it was too heavy to tow on the highway without damaging the road. He had to trailer it to move it. It sat on his front lawn most of the time. (he was the local coroner there).

it stands to reason that an ‘indirect’ method of firearm confiscation may be effected by making large groups of people felons....

Enter Obamacare, in 2014 it becomes a felony to not have health insurance....

Outstandingly logical conjecture there, sir.

Kudos.

To do anything less would be...un-Hale-ish.

And I couldn’t live with myself, then. And you all wouldn’t want that, no, not at all...:^)

That’s her I think. Rack not visible. She was trying to be the “Miss G Train” winner. Whatever the hell that is.
