So he reserves the right to try to impose his view at the point of a gun." Suppose he said, "The possession of guns by American civilians should be outlawed, and all guns currently in such possession will be confiscated. Warantless searches should be authorized." Wouldn't you agree with him more then? Nope. Shotguns and rifles for hunting and protection is fine by me. Assholes out in public openly toting handguns and AR15 are pussies who should be slapped upside the head and put in a cell. http://newsbusters.org/blogs/ken-she...-panthers-2000 http://depts.washington.edu/civilr/P...2_schaefer.htm Your own Seattle and gun. http://afroamhistory.about.com/od/bl...panthers_2.htm the party advocated carrying guns for self-defense. At the time, under California law it was legal to carry guns if not concealed. The Panthers also took on various responsibilities in the community. Wearing black leather jackets, blue shirts, black pants, and black berets, they patrolled the neighborhoods carrying weapons |

In most states those who have guns have passed back ground checks, so have been "validated". |

When these armed idiots show up at public meetings at which the president is going to appear, it increases the workload of the secret service and local police forces. Some kind of federal law restricting weapons within a couple thousand feet of anywhere the President of member of congress may be is in order This is something you couldn't trust the individual states to pass/enforce. I've been practicing so I can handle the impending invasion of the Loogy/JustHate Zombies... http://tinyurl.com/ma5znl Did you bother to read the target "100 Yard Sight-In" in the upper right hand corner of the target? You use that target to get your weapon zeroed so that you can move to the 300 and 500 yard targets. First five shot group at 100 yards from the new ZombieKiller Rifle. I was plopped on a ground cloth and using the rifle's built-in sights. Took a couple of shots first to sight in for elevation...there wasn't any wind. They are called iron sights. And you should be able to walk the group, 1.5 inches, to the center in no more than four three shot groups. Tomorrow I'm going to try some shots with the new scope I just attached. Once I get used to it, I should be able to put five between the eyes of your typical zombie at 100 yards. Scope? Scopes are for pussies. You should be able to put 10 in the black at 500 yards in the prone position using iron sites. Freaking scopes, are you pretending to be a sniper shooting a paper targets at 100 yards? |

Oh, and the factory sights on this rifle are fiber optics. Both of them. 3. 300 and 500 yard targets? Sorry...100 yards is all I have access to, and...of course, this is a .22LR rifle...300 and 500 yard targets would be...absurd. 4. I wasn't trying to walk the group. I was trying to put five into a relatively small target with a new rifle at 100 yards. 5. 10 in the black at 500 yards with iron sights from a .22LR rifle? Speaking of pussies, what sort of pussy were you during your brief stint in the marines? You never got an overseas assignment. Some warrior you were. :) |

Is there a background check for those who house soldiers under the 3rd amendment? The forth amendment puts the onus on the government to prove that it has probable cause for the search or seizure. The fifth amendment doesn't say you have to have a background check to "plead the fifth." The sixth amendment doesn't say you have to have a background check to be tried in jurisdiction of your crime. The seventh amendment doesn't say you have to have a background check to be tried by a jury. The eight amendment doesn't say your bail, fine or punishment is dependent upon a background check. The ninth amendment doesn't say that you need a background check for your rights. The tenth amendment doesn't say you need a background check either. |

Nice groups he says very sarcastically. 2. Oh, and the factory sights on this rifle are fiber optics. Both of them. Fiber optic sights, right. They are still iron sights. just paint dots on your iron sights and you can call them what ever you want. Or, you can over pay for your "fiber optic" sights. 3. 300 and 500 yard targets? Sorry...100 yards is all I have access to, and...of course, this is a .22LR rifle...300 and 500 yard targets would be...absurd. That's what I thought you are not a serious shooter. You just play at it. 4. I wasn't trying to walk the group. I was trying to put five into a relatively small target with a new rifle at 100 yards. If you were a real shooter you could take a rifle off the rack and zero the sights and then walk the group into the center. 5. 10 in the black at 500 yards with iron sights from a .22LR rifle? 5.56mm is close to .22 cal. Speaking of pussies, what sort of pussy were you during your brief stint in the marines? You never got an overseas assignment. Some warrior you were. :) WW III never happened. |

No, I was shooting in a nearby pasture at 100 yards. Didn't you see the line "...First five shot group at 100 yards..." If I had been shooting at 25 yards, the grouping would have been under 1/2". 2. The fiber optic sights are standard on this model. Got the rifle at a very good price, certainly did not overpay. 3. I never said or implied I was a "serious shooter." I shoot targets and empty cans for fun, though I do a bit of competitive shooting, but just for fun. 4. A real shooter? Why would I want to be a "real shooter"? I told you, I do this for simple fun. 5. You're comparing the NATO round to a .22LR round? You obviously don't shoot much, if at all. The NATO bullet may be about the same diameter as a .22LR round, but...the .22LR cartridges I shoot have a 36 gr bullet, compared to what, a 55-70 gr bullet for the NATO round. And of course the bullets are shaped completely differently and there's a hell of a lot more powder charge in the NATO round. The NATO rounds are typically good for what, 400 yards? The drop of a hot .22lr round at 400 yards is about 20 feet. Stick to playing golf badly, and stay off the firing range. |
