Maybe he was on his way to an elementary school.


Maybe in Afghanistan.


To shoot up an elementary school in Afghanistan? Is that on a higher
plane morally than shooting up an elementary school in Connecticut?

Probably to defend it from being shot up by the taliban. I have a 2nd
cousin who was (now ret.) a Captain (11th Amdiv.) that did exactly
that very thing. They got a tip of a raid and defended a school from
being blown and butchered.

Afghanistan isn't a very nice place to be, even if it is your home.

See, you've probably not fired the M-60, M-85 or M-2. All belt fed, all fun to shoot.


Fun I understand, but true happiness from a weapon...WWJT?

Neither is the United States...we have schools here being shot up.

You've told us many times that you don't think the US is a nice place to
live. Why don't you leave? Oh, and pay your taxes before you go, deadbeat.

I used to have a 303 Lee Enfield (sports conversion) rifle but sold it about 25 years ago.

Oh man. My favorite!

It was the weapon of choice during the Jallianwala Bagh massacre in India.


It was just about the only weapon of choice by the British and it's
tributaries from about 1895 to 1957 and in some British military
applications to 1960, and it still the issued cartridge for the
Vickers machine gun to this day. . Even with the Royal Canadian
Rangers (Arctic Div.) still use it as standard issue if i remember
correctly.

It's probably the only standard military cartridge and bolt-action
rifles to have been used by a nation for a hundred years, and the
rifles had very few variants to it's design.

Besides, it was the great defender against the tyranny of the
Imperial and Nazi German invaders in two world wars.

If it works, don't fix it.

You morons DO realize, don't you, that the NRA exists as a money making
system, don't you? Yep, they take your money and profit from it. Like
they really care about YOUR rights....
