Have the gunowners team up and vote out the reds (Greens, watermelons, “Green on the outside, red on the inside).

I understand your local crocodiles are hungry. Save the crocs, not the cracked.

I want a Webley, an original, not a converted one.

Yeah, I know they are out there, but I haven’t found the right one yet.

Even looking at this from a leftist viewpoint it appears untenable. what about collectors?...Or is only the government allowed to “collect?”

Sadly, mine fell to their deaths from atop a large mountain in some state out there in the West. Perhaps if they had just fallen from the canoe, I could have saved them, but alas, the poor things are in small pieces scattered over a wide area, rusting as we speak.....

I had a little Webley .32 auto which had an odd defect. If I had it on safe, you could pull the trigger once and the safety lever would move to fire. Pull it again and it would fire.

It did it every single time. I finally got to thinking about it and it would have been a good feature to put into a gun if you could make it foolproof. You pull the trigger once to take it off safe then again to fire.

Unfortunately there would always be someone who would just keep pulling the trigger without knowing it would fire on the second pull.

Collectors are currently treated as a class of ‘gun owner’ with their own specific licences so presumably this would apply to them as well, and render collecting pretty pointless in New South Wales.

That triple mini would wipe me out ($-wise) in about ten seconds.

“In this country, we have the right to keep and bear arms only as long as five of nine politically appointed lawyers on the Supreme Court agree we have that right, ...”

WRONG!!!!!!

A finding by any court, particularly the Supreme Court, does not in any way limit my rights! Any of them. The enumeration and recognition of those natural rights in the Constitution may be struck which would immediately negate the legitimacy of the government and relieve me of any oath to support and defend it. At that point, should it come to pass, the government is then in a state of war with a *free people.

(*Soft tyranny being the exception)

SEMPER FIDELIS my Freeper friend.

"we will still have the right, which is God-given.

OK, you pray, I'll vote, and we'll see which is more effective in retaining our right to keep and bear arms.

I lost my computer in a tragic boating accident!

That's what happened to all my firearms.

Registered holders can only have three guns? Three for me, three for the wife.......you think I could register my dog as a gun owner?

No, we’ll both vote. But should Obama win despite our votes, and succeed in packing the court with grabboids, they can only declare what they will declare.

I’ll still have the God-given right to the RKBA, despite what they rule by 5/9.

Just the same as if they somehow ruled that slavery was actually legal again.

Five men can vote to take away our rights, but that is not the same as taking them away. To do that, they will have to send armed men to take away our firearms, precipitating a civil war at the very least.

That’s why I wouldn’t want a full-auto rifle. I couldn’t afford to keep it fed.

I have noticed that since getting older, my tolerance for nonsense especially from the Government has gone way down.

At one time I put up with things I no loner would. I still would not go out of my way to be confrontational but would not just let things go either.

Part of it is my wife and oldest daughter are deceased and my youngest is married with children of her own and they are financially secure. No one is depending on me.

I would not relish going to trial and having to defend myself but when all is said and done, one’s sense of right and wrong is more important than just getting along.

Well, technically he is a humanoid robot, but he kind of maxes out the number of guns used at once.

The movie is called “Endhiran” (The Robot), and is one of the biggest budget sci-fi movies ever produced in South Asia.

It also did record box office in South Asia.

You can always convert it to shoot .22 Short, for example :-)

Amazing!

Same thing happened to mine.

The entire large, splendid and lethal collection was lost last April when I was flying the last of my things back to Montana and crashed my Maverick Cruiser into the top of Emigrant Peak during an unseasonal white-out blizzard.

There were no survivors and the wreckage was never found.

I have wanted to get into cowboy action shooting, I have been looking at that for a while. It looks like fun.

It’s sad that by time most people realize by giving this stuff up was a huge mistake it will be too late, the guys on top will have full control. History repeats itself.

To my sister unit in Australia (3RAR), chins up lads, remember you don’t have to obey any unlawful commands.
