OK McNutty, others have beaten your "100-clip magazine" gaffe to death, so let's dig into this gem:

"But the gun makers have no product-liability litigation to worry about because in 2005 Congress approved and President George W. Bush signed into law legislation providing immunity for gun manufacturers from the foreseeable consequence of building instruments of murder."

By your logic, McNutty, we should hold car makers liable every time someone is killed by a drunk driver. We should hold knife makers liable every time someone is stabbed to death. We should hold Louisville Slugger liable every time someone's head gets bashed in with a baseball bat.

A defective gun is one that blows up in the user's hand when fired. A defective mind uses a gun to take innocent lives in a designated "no guns allowed" zone.

His grandpap’s rifle could have been a Remington Model 14 pump rifle, popular a century ago; a young George S. Patton Jr. captured one during the Pershing expedition.

Anyway, this guys’s a jerk. Molon labe!

Yes, a pump-action Winchester. Winchester made some nice little slide-action .22 rifles up until the 1960s; the Model 1890, Model 61, Model 62. Good knocking-around guns. Very popular with shooting galleries.

equipped with 100-clip magazines.

And I want me one! I figger it's gotta be 800 or a thousand bullet shells at least!

Sure, it sounds good here, but let me share a bit of personal experience.

When I first started USPSA practical shooting, I was using a Taurus TP-99. I wanted to make sure I wasn't going to run out of ammo during the stages, so I loaded up my rig (an Ernie Hill Speed Leather rig, leather over steel), w/ 4 mag pouches, the pistol, and 5 full mags (75 rounds of 9mm), and the first time I tried using it, it was all I could do to keep my belt from pulling my pants down around my ankles! Believe it or not, there is such a thing as having too much ammo with you!

There's a reason for tactical, load bearing vests!

There are, today, few who hunt with handguns or assault rifles
***He seems to think the 2nd amendment is about hunting, whereas the founders made it clear it was about fighting against a facisct guvmint for the most part.

Democrats learned that gun control was a loser at the polls which is why they eased off. I hope they go full throttle. It will cost them.

What will be the story when all they want to ban now is banned and someone shoots up a theater with a 6 shot revolver? They will then scream for a ban on revolvers!

Disarming the American people has always been an incremental plan, one little step at a time until the 2nd amendment is gone.

Hell, I hope they go full-bore on the whole "typical-white-racist bitter clingers belong under the Trayvon Express reparations bus" complex and summon the New Black Panther Party to purge the voting rolls on election day with truncheons. Just, you know, "go for the cheese!"

Winchester made .22 pump action rifles.
I’m skeptical that his grandfather rode the range with nothing more than a .22 at hand.

This guy is the very definition of a “Fudd”, only “Sporting rifles” are acceptable, handguns are only for killing people, the RKBA is about duck hunting, etc.

Every once in a while, one of these “I own shotguns but handguns and assault weapons should be illegal” traitors shows his ugly face. Usually their own writing reveals their own ignorance and dishonesty, like this idiot does.
Nobody hunts with handguns? 100 clip magazines? You’re an idiot AND a liar, you stinking traitor.

I was born and raised in Tucson, AZ. Michael McNulty has been there for years. If I remember correctly, he held Public office in the past. My recollection of him is that he is a real opportunist, arrogant shithead.

Oh I forgot. He and Raul Grijalva are good buddies too! I believe Mikey was also RAT Party Chairman for Pima County at one time.

Wrong paper
Not to worry. If The Red Star didn't print it today, they will print it sometime this week.

NOT TRUE. The only times you can have to much ammo is when you are drowning or if you are on fire. Otherwise you just have to pay more attention to how you load out and carry.
