Yell us again about your gun harry. It seems to be your only interest
beyond working.

I don't discuss my work or most of my non-work interests here in
rec.boats. What's the point?

Then why all of the gun stories? It is ironic that you seem to be the
most committed gun nut here and you are arguing how dangerous they
are. Considering the one you brag about the most was designed as an
implement of war to kill as many people as possible in the shortest
amount of time, your rage against the gun seems disingenuous at best.

My recognition and appreciation of the fact that firearms are inherently
dangerous qualifies me as a gun owner and hobbyist, n'est-ce pas?

I'm hardly a gun nut. I believe the current interpretation of the 2nd
Amendment grossly and incorrectly states the position of the founders on
firearms. I think all firearms should be registered, that all sales
should have a paper trail, that all gun owners be qualified by mandatory
training, that all firearms should be kept away from minors. I suggest
that those who believe otherwise are the gun nuts. You, Herring, and
Wayne are the gun nuts.

I do own an AR-15 and aside from the fact it doesn't have an autofire
mode, it is pretty much the same as many that have been issued to
military personnel. I have disassembled the rifle down to the smallest
pin and spring, replaced some parts and reassembled it properly. I do
not strap it on and walk down the streets with it, nor would I wear it
into Target or a fast food restaurant. When I am not using it, it lives
in a safe. When I take it out of the safe, it is either to modify
something or to take it to the range. Hardly the behavior of a gun nut.

Oh, and if a kid takes a parent's gun to school and shoots people, I
think the kid's parents should face criminal penalties.

Hardly the position of a gun nut.

So, once again, you are wrong.

Un Huh.

You are certainly working overtime to rationalize your obsession with
your guns. Other than ad hominem attacks on other posters, it is the
only thing you talk about.

This isn't the place to discuss my involvement with the free trade
movement in Cuba or my interest in an NGO that helps those in third world
countries build sustainable communities and provide for potable water.
I'm not going to discuss my marketing accounts here. That leaves an
innocuous hobby or two to discuss. That's all you get. Oh, I'm also
involved in an internet chess league and a Scrabble tourney that's been
going on for about 23 years.

Where are your boat pictures?

in a few places...
