Santa delivered a lot of guns
The Washington Compost ^ | December 25, 2014 | Michael S. Rosenwald

Posted on 12/26/2014 1:43:16 PM PST by E. Pluribus Unum

The other day I wrote about an increasingly popular gift for wives from their husbands — guns. Big guns. Little guns. Pink guns. Even Hello Kitty guns. But Christmas is a big gun day not just for women but for husbands, sons, grandsons, daughters, granddaughters…you get the point. People will argue about guns for more hours than “It’s a Wonderful Life” has historically been broadcast, but guns remain an important part of many, many lives, so it’s only natural that Santa was very busy crossing state lines delivering guns big and small.

Here are some happy new gun owners and their guns:

When time is an issue...does it matter?

Gotta love the idiot who wrote we have an “inalienable right to be free from gun violence.”

No nation has ever been "free from gun violence" since the invention of the gun. Some of them have made it a government monopoly, but they've all ended up being someplace you wouldn't want to live.

Holder did try to sell guns to the elves without background checks, but nobody
got killed with them so it failed. He blames Bush.

“Most assassins, spies, hit-men, etc. use .22’s.”

That’s good work if you can get it but not much good for defense agains’t the Michael Brown kicking in your front door. :-)

If Michael Brown is at your door you grab a shotgun or rifle. The PT22 is to carry with you. But if you only have one pistol, it'd be better than nothing. Actually, if Mike comes to my door, I'm going to have fun and teach him a lesson about quarterstaffs.

If Michael Brown is at the door pick up a light sabre and may the force be with you. LOL!

Actually, I’m bigger than he was. Plus, I have almost 55 years of experience to his 18. Not really a fair fight.

Check out pic #2 at the site. Looks like Grandpa got himself a Mosin for Christmas.

Rosenwald really stirred the pot, didn't he? I am inhaling the liberal outrage like rare incense.

Santa was particularly good to me this year in the form of a Sig Sauer P239. Problem is, I'm sort of snowed in at the moment and the range is out of reach. I could try it out indoors but I don't have a decent backstop now that the fridge is full of beer. Note to self: next time, buy a really long, skinny house. With a steel plate at one end.

I believe You are correct Sir.

So if that is the case then why are the Gun Grabbers so worried about the dreaded “Assault Weapons” and “high capacity clips/magazines” packed full of “cop killer bullets”

They should be whining about a rusting old pistol...

“Almost” is the key word. Many people have been killed with the 22lr. The problem is how long it was that they could still kill you back. If Reagan was hit with a .45 ACP he would have been dead before he hit the ground.
