"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.

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.

The M1911 is one of several notable Browning firearms and has been used by the military and law enforcement since World War I.

Is it accurate enough to kill? Yes.
Is it reliable? Yes Yes
Does it have any short comings? Yes as it is of limited capacity in its magazine, but PARA ARMS fixed that with a double stack magazine.

Doing it better for 100 years. "Thou shalt not mess with perfection!

Not offical but very nice.

Perhaps I will send Ricky an email about what Utah is doing...

During the untamed years of the Wild West, the Texas Rangers rode as lone defenders of justice. They were often the only protection on the frontier for settlers facing hostile Indians, cattle rustlers, bandits and gunslingers. And time after time, the men with the badges proved worthy of every challenge. Their exploits made the Rangers one of the most famous and respected crime-fighting forces anywhere in the world.

As the nation entered the 20th century, the state of Texas found itself on the frontlines of a Mexican revolution, a surge in bootlegging and a population boom sparked by the discovery of oil. The Rangers faced new breeds of criminal and new kinds of crime. But with the same courage and discipline that served them on the frontier, justice triumphed and the Texas Rangers secured their legacy as true American heroes.

In the absence of a global conflict, the Thompson was immediately touted as the ultimate crime fighting tool. It was described as an ideal weapon for the protection of large estates, ranches and plantations, which was certainly appealing to the Rangers, whose jurisdiction spread out for hundreds of miles in every direction. The promises of the Thompson being “simple, safe, sturdy and sure in action” proved true, allowing it to secure a distinctive history with the Texas Rangers in their brave efforts to uphold law and order. To this day the Thompson remains one of the most widely recognized and respected firearms in the world.

A pistol? Out of all of Browning’s wonderful inventions, they pick a pistol?
