'Assault rifles' have a legal and useful place in hunting

I thought the author might be Jim Zumbo when I first read the title.

[N. Theknow]

The 2nd Amendment is not about hunting.

[tacticalogic]

Don’t 10/22’s have a rotary mag?

[Past Your Eyes]

I thought Bill Monroe was dead. Sure do miss his mandolin and high lonesome singing.

[GulfBreeze]

I continue ask the same question, “Is there any ‘other’ kind of rifle?”

[pgyanke]

The 2nd Amendment isn’t about sporting goods...

I was thinking the same thing!

[EEDUDE]

“Don’t 10/22’s have a rotary mag?”

Yes they do. 10 rounds.

I bought one several years back in black synthetic and stainless steel. A really fine little rifle as long as you keep it scrupulously clean.

[Free Vulcan]

The 10 round factory mag is rotary or some variation of that, aftermarket ones are banana clips up to 50 rounds I think.

Don’t 10/22’s have a rotary mag?

IIRC, that was the original design. My friend or his brother had one with a Mannlicher stock.

[EEDUDE]

I guess I failed to address your point.

You can buy aftermarket 30 round mags for them. (in case you are attacked by a whole bunch of squirrels at the same time)

[ozzymandus]

Uh, is this guy defending Zumbo, attacking the NRA, or claiming the 10/22 is an “assault rifle”? I’d say all of the above.

Bill Monroe gave his mandolin to Sam Bush. It likely doesn’t get out much anymore, now that Sam has a signature model Gibson.

And Pete Rowan does a pretty fair ‘impersonation’ of Bill during some of his shows. Pete was with Bill Monroe’s band in 1966, if I get the date right.

Rowan wrote a song about Ruby Ridge, to come back full circle to stuff freepers care about.

[tiger-one]

The come with a rotary mag, but banana clips are available.

[tiger-one]

It is any gun the liberals, including Rudy,and Mitt, want to put on the AW list

[tacticalogic]

Okay. I’ve been waiting for the right deal on a 77/22 to come along.....

[Magnum44]

I’ve been waiting for CA to legalize the AR again. How much longer, do ya think?

[Puppage]

Assault is an ACTION not a device.

[Vn_survivor_67-68]

this particular one (10/22) is a little sexier when it comes dressed like this:

I just re read my pocket sized Constitution and did not see where the 2nd Amendment had anything to do with squirrels or ducks.....
