Nuns buy Smith & Wesson shares, then sue to stop production of AR-style rifles

Our government has always sponsored all fields of weaponry development as a matter of our self-preservation. Only under this Obama third term have we seen government policies purposely going backward toward destroying our better interests and aiding our enemies while impoverishing us doing so - while accusing us of being “unpatriotic” for objecting to their purposely ruinistic policies.

The only steps these people need are those leading up to the scaffold for hanging. Televised.

Glad you survived cancer - that battle is a rough way to gain empathy - but God works his wonders in many ways. You have a voice worth hearing - glad you’re here.

You’re also right about our ‘public servants’ and how wealthy they become in a short period of time. I suspect it’s the same for DC bureaucrats. Some of the wealthiest zip codes in the country are those clustered around Washington DC. Maybe we should do research on how many of those folks also own beach houses...

...AR-style weapons...

I think the rationale is to try doing to S&W what the Sandy Hook settlement (among other things) did to Remington. The S&W M&P-15 was used in the Lewiston massacre.

I knew that; H&K actually made the bulk of them. I was just making the point. "If it's Mattel it's swell." I had to literally hold a shoddy H&K together holding it hard to my body to qualify for pass in Basic Training. The cynical DI knew it was a POS, saying "Way to go. I never got half that out of that Viet Nam rebuild sh!t".

Only when I had a real M-16 in fair condition did I learn I was exceptional. "We have to use up all this ammo or lose our budget for enough next year". So I saw the guys in both right and left lanes weren't hitting the 300 meter targets so I timed my shots to make them believe they were hitting them..while nailing my own half consciously. Zen true moment but that was officially off record so I pushed for Sniper school. Got through the the first week excelling on windage, drop and such and starting on practical field when dragged out because I needed to wear glasses.

Despite some excellent snipers in history using corrective lenses that time's policy said my needing them was a disqualification despite my near-perfect qualifications otherwise. Loner, self-sufficient, purposely silent, able to bide motionless for hours while attentive - born for the purpose. But some REMF officer who never lived it said I wasn't qualified.

Ten years later I learned that service members got Lasik surgery free of charge to correct their eyesight - and allowed the previously eyesight-disqualified into sniper schools. "Great" I said bitterly, knowing I would have stayed in until retirement had they let me go the path I wanted.

But they probably would have booted me anyway, being a patriot standing for Constitutional principles and Christianity...the "right wing radical" they're determined to crucify now days as an example of undesirable. All the ideals I was brought up with are now wrong? How does that bring recruits in at all?
