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.


And if we have guns in schools and everyone on the street is armed, it
will be the same here.

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?


How the **** would we know?


Who is "we", dumbass? Geez, surely as a Christian, you can look
something up in the fictional Bible and spin it to say that everyone
should be armed to the teeth, afterall, that's what's been happening to
the Bible for many, many years.

To protect an elementary school, dummy! Your buddies, the Taliban, like to kill girls going to
school, and their teachers. You need to get your head out of your ass, ESAD, FOAD, WAFL, or whatever
you've decided to call yourself today.

Sure hope you had a great Christmas day, yesterday. Nothing could be much more fun than being with
the grandkids as they open their gifts. Of course, you probably did the same thing, so you know what
I mean.

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....


Sounds like a union.

Do you equate Marines with NRA members - or did a stray thought just hit your mind.

Which of your few almost working synapses told you the taliban were my
buddies? They're religious extremists, for whom I have no use.

So, in your family, Christmas is a celebration of commercialism.
How...tasteless.

The "NRA" isn't doing anything for *us*, dumb****. And neither are the
Marines in Afghanistan. The difference is that the Marines and other
U.S. troops are dying for nothing in Afghanistan and the NRA just shoots
off its mouth.
