I suspect I’ve been in far more combat than you.
My knowledge of weapons is how to best use them to kill people.
This pistol is a poor choice.
You’re just a hoplophobe who moved a few stages. I’ve seen it too many times and you aren’t even aware of it. You moved from no one should have guns because they kill to I need a gun so I can kill.
Hopefully, you’ll move to a stage where what someone does or owns is none of your business without resorting to short penis insults.
“hoplophobe”
I have no irrational fear of weapons.
“You moved from no one should have guns”
Well, to me, a gun is what is attached to a large boat, or perhaps a tank, so I might agree with some reasonable restriction in those instances.
But small arm restriction has never been my contention, nor my belief, and I challenge you to find anything to the contrary.
Indeed, I was raised with a mother who carried an M-16 slung to market, and we had repeated incidents with arabs who didn’t like us and would shoot at our homes. I am well aware of the usefulness of personal protection.
“you’ll move to a stage where what someone does or owns is none of your business”
I’ve never said it was. In contrast, I’ve made it clear that I fully support the right of people to purchase whatever they want in the realm of firearms, perhaps even a “gun.”
My position is that this particular firearm is a silly, near useless, firearm. And it is.
I also noted that being “silly” is not necessarily “bad.” Just “silly.” Like beenie babies or old cars. Both “silly,” but neither “bad.”
“without resorting to short penis insults.”
Again, the only person interposing biological issues into thie discussin is you. The type of “compensation” I discussed is more compensation for a a psychological impotence, not a physcial one. The statement very clear to anyone who does not have hang ups in that regard.
“A pistol is an unstable, relatively short barreled, weapon. By nature, a pistol is meant to be a close-range weapon, and is a fine close-range weapon. Indeed, perhaps the best.
When you want to reach out and touch someone, the practical use a rifle.”
You’ve led an Elmer Keith-free life, I take it.
When you sell out one class of weapons, the gun grabbers take it from you, then ask for another class.
Try to imagine hunting with that big revolver in a shoulder holster, both hands free to climb rocks and get up hills through the timber. Or crawl through the thickets and swamps. When the time comes to shoot, it will hit what you want it to if you know how to handle a handgun. And it will do it at ranges you wouldn’t dare brag about on an open forum.
Jewbacca, meet Elmer Keith. Mr. Keith, meet Jewbacca.
