"Many people have a negative experience with guns because guns do kill people [when they're] in the hands of those who use them wrongly."
No, then the shooter has killed someone. If you want to disassemble in this manner, it's not the gun doing the killing anyway. The BULLET killed someone. Bullets kill people when fired from guns in the hands of those who use them "wrongly."
More purposeful diction aimed at creating an anti-gun mentality. Waste of space, these people.

I would suggest one of these. Heck of a price tag though.

Well ayatollah rock ‘n’ rolla!
Gotta love the 1911.
What should be the Arizona state gun? Maybe a Ruger Blackhawk? They make them in Prescott. maybe so.

I think it’s a good choice. AZ’s would have to be a Ruger of some kind.

Wasn’t Pennsylvania recently on the verge of naming a historic rifle?

It has a flawless pedigree, designed specifically to kill muslims.

Lawrence O’donnell was horrible tonight on MSNBC. He said John Browning turned a small gun shop into a “Merchant of Death” and that he was a monster. I kid you not. I could not bleieve it. Still can’t.

California would have a .25 cal Raven as the state firearm.
To: MediaMole
California could have a water pistol tho they are probably illegal there.
Florida could either be a Kel-Tec or Taurus.
John Browning gave the U.S. Military rights to his M1917 machine gun for a dollar. Since the gun was produced in huge numbers that gun alone would have made him rich but he had a Son fighting and did not feel right taking money for a gun which might have been used by him.

Owned one and LOVED it! John Moses Browning was a genius and his firearms have defended this nation for decades. Go for it Utah!!
The left will scream and bellyache about this move sooooo, let me make a suggestion taken from their oft repeated philosophy of the 60’s and 70’s. “Don’t knock it unless you’ve tried it!” Every leftist must now purchase a firearm, join the NRA or GOA, spend time at a good range, buy the proper leather gear and learn to “get the stick out” ya’ know?

Huge distortions and exaggerations by MSNBC. Browning’s guns served the U.S. armed forces well in several wars. I guess if you’re a peacenik you’d find that to be horrible. Browning’s family also, sadly, suffered from hereditary madness, but that didn’t lead any of them to go out and shoot anybody else (IIRC there were a couple of suicides though).

It’s used by USSOCOM. But then, so is the P226.
