How far have we fallen.

In my days some High Schools had gun club (and you could letter in shooting).

I like the Thompson!

[Big Red Badger]

CHEERS!

[Trinity5]

Pretty sure that it collapses and doesn’t fold...

[Trinity5]

Bet you want to remove those paintings of Washington crossing the Delaware with all those guns... I mean it was on December 25th after all and he was headed out to kill a bunch of Hessians!

[Noumenon]

Leftist soyboy dickflutes: REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

It’s an Uzi. The hand guards, sights and the external barrel nut are identifiers.

[HamiltonJay]

backlash from whom exactly?

Why do I care that folks on twitter or some other social media platform freaked out over anything?

[allblues]

Also the magazine in the pistol grip.

There are semi auto M 60s. The only certain NFA weapons are the Uzi and the Thompson, as they are either machine guns or Short Barrel Rifles.

Hope they know how to go full Kyle on attackers..
Stack em, pack em

[skepsel]

No, you can see the fingernail on the index (trigger) finger.

Would someone actually read the article and look at the photo? It’s their Christmas photo, in front of the family Christmas tree. This isn’t a Fourth of July photo. This is not a message a Christian sends at Christmas. There is no Christmas carol celebrating the AR 15 rifle.

[Luke21]

Backlash from the media. Who cares?

[Vision]

Has Kinzinger found a new job yet? Better get looking.

Were it not for the blatantly unconstitutional Hughes Amendment you wouldn’t need to hit the lottery to afford a MG. I escaped from the Peoples Republic of Washington where MGs are banned to the free state of Idaho, but I have the same issue. A local gun shop had a M11 for sale, just under $10,000 for a POS that cost maybe $50 to manufacture.
