We have the same jerks in my gun club. They tend to be the Trap and Skeet boys who are quite superior.
We call them “Golfers with Guns”.
Ahhh...the “beautiful gun” versus “ugly gun” crowd. `Golfers with guns’ that’s a good one.
Back in ‘92 former Sen. Bob Kerrey did an add for the AWB bill where he held up his beautiful Ruger Red Wing O/U shotgun & intoned that such was far superior to those ugly AR’s & AK’s.
He lost. Then there are “Fudds” who prize their fine hunting rifles & shotguns with richly grained stocks (better than today’s gray composite cr@p, I’ll admit) and will go on to state they would never use them in self defense.
BTW, the right to possess firearms is useless without the right of self defense. Look at Britain: shoot an intruder, go to prison.
