Should You Own a Gun?

Good find. Seems like the positions and arguments haven't changed in half a century.

The more things change the more they remain the same.

Should You Own a Gun?

Yes and as many as you can obtain, and lots of ammo too. Watched I think it was Death Wish II last night and after the good guys got guns, things changed. Must be some gun that Wildey .475, literally no recoil at all.

You noticed that too, eh? My wife got tired of me yelling "BULLS***!" at the screen.

I was pretty impressed by his ability to hang on to that .30 Browning too. At the rate of fire he was dealing with, I strongly suspect that barrel woulda been fit ta roast weenies on in darn short order.

I DID notice that the reloading sequence was well done, with good equipment and things done in the proper order. I think ol' Charlie musta been a reloader at some point.

I may be old but I ain't totally decrepit yet. Even with that perforated guard over the barrel it mus have been toasty. I think those guns were BARF, Bigdamn Automatic Recoiless Firearms, must be built by some super secret shop somewhere in that strange section of Nevada.
Now that I have gone back and corrected my typing errors, maybe I am damn near totally decrepit.

My favorite eldest child and I agree that all we need is "reasonable" gun laws. We just have a minor difference of opinion on the definition of "reasonable."

SWMBO allows me to yell. She just restricts my access to throwable objects, when I start reading or watching some of this stuff.
