Here's a picture:

I was just thinking - draw this gun on a mugger or some of our lager louts, and they'll run away screaming with a full pantload.

Bump!

This story actually made it into the SF Chronicle Friday and second page to boot. Even used the same picture to accompany it. I can't wait to see the op ed page on Monday. Looks like a beaut. Not a very good plinking gun I'll bet.

Wow, I can't wait to have one 'magna-ported' and I'm not "bored" by a long shot. ;^)

Its .50 calibre bullets are capable of stopping a charging bear dead in its tracks.

As are the bullets from a .22. It's all about shot placement.

"This gun is not being made for hunters. It is being made for bored, white gun enthusiasts who want to make a bigger hole in whatever it is they are shooting at," Josh Sugarmann of the Violence Policy Center, a Washington think tank, said.

The fact that it's for white people makes it automatically 42% more evil!

And since when is the VPC a think tank?

Hmmmmmm. If S&W keeps this up, I may just forgive them for kissing Klintoon's backside.

"This gun is not being made for hunters. It is being made for bored, white gun enthusiasts who want to make a bigger hole in whatever it is they are shooting at," Josh Sugarmann of the Violence Policy Center, a Washington think tank, said.

Take a good look at the above quote which is supposedly part of the reason this gun is opposed by certain anti-gunners. Does it say it will be used by criminals or in some other nefarious manner? No, it does not. Essentially, the gun is being opposed because someone will have fun with it. That's the kind of personality we are dealing with, people who worry about how others have a good time.

Well, back to the gun. I'd like to see this massive revolver also offered in .44 mag. Ever own a S&W M29 and actually shoot it quite a bit? I have. They are safe to shoot but actually are not large enough to be durable without excessive maintence. This large revolver frame in .44 mag would give S&W a product that almost anyone would prefer to any other in .44 mag.

Is there something wrong with big holes in "bad guys" or paper?

Buy a good ol 45/75 for $450 and have half left over for ammo. Or buy two :-) and give one to a friend.

Hmmm...I wonder how this cannon compares to the Ruger .480 Super Redhawk and the Taurus Raging Bull .454 Casull. The Taurus has greater striking power despite the smaller caliber. I wouldn't want to fire either one except wearing a catchers mitt. I've seen night pictures of the Raging Bull firing. Flames shoot out the bbl about 4 feet! It also strikes with about 1-1/2 tons of energy!

They always bring it down to race, don't they? Organized gun control isn't about getting guns out of the hands of criminals, that would be just a hoped-for side benefit. It is about taking guns out of the hands of all those white males before even the densest among them tumble to the slow-motion holocaust the radical left has been perpetrating against them since the 1960's and decide to do something about it.

In California, sales of handguns have fallen by 160,000 to 170,000 a year in 10 years.

I sort of doubt that. A more accurate statement would be "sales of handguns reported to the state have fallen by 160,000 to 170,000 a year in 10 years."

Sugarwuss, like most do-gooder liberals simply fail to realize that many Americans simply choose to ignore the law when it infringes upon their God-given Rights.

Hey, I resemble that remark! I resemble it very much!

Which Eastwood movie has this line? We'd like to rent the video.

Thanks.

Remember in "Crocodile Dundee" when the punk pulls a 
knife on him and his "shiela" says "he's got a knife". 
Dundee pulls out his and says " THIS IS A KNIFE".
   Well now he can pull out his Smith and Wesson and say
"This is a GUN".

[Inyo-Mono]

Why is it that any newspaper article on guns, always contains a quote from the Violence Policy Center? They don't know anything about firearms. Why doesn't the reporter call up the NRA, or even a gun shop for a more informative opinion.

After working in the media for over 20 years, I know the answer, just wanted to rant.

"It is being made for bored, white gun enthusiasts who want to make a bigger hole in whatever they are shooting at." Josh Sugarman.

Like the hole in your head, you ignorant, Socialist, racist bastard.
