What is the point of a .223 for anything but varmints. You lose a lot of meat taking down a deer with an AR-15, and a 12 gauge is a better defensive weapon. The 1903 Springfield and the Garand weren’t rare in the field because they knocked down a white tail, but the current military rifles don’t make the cut.
There are people who love and hoard guns. I’ve always looked on them as tools. Rare and beautifully engraved weapons might be worth the investment, but pseudo-assault rifles don’t make the cut.
]]>There has always been a tradition of hunting in upstate New York, but the NRA decided to work for Colt and Glock instead of shooters and hunters.
]]>and marksmanship, which is how i became a crack shot with a rifle (and bow and arrow) as a kid – i never formally joined the organization but i did accidentally get interested in riflery (and then archery) as a result of somehow ending up in some nra-approved activity one summer. i turned out to be pretty good at both of these and i hate what has happened to the organization that got me there. yay for new york state!!
i didn’t get into skeet shooting or target shooting with handguns until i moved east. i never got very much into either of these, probably because by that time the nra had been taken over by the nutcases. or maybe the people here in the east were already nutcases, who knows? ๐
]]>The GOP doesn’t believe in COVID-19 or science. unfortunately COVID-19 doesn’t care what you believe. C-19 is an unbiased, apolitical, amoral virus that will infect everything it can in order to survive. Darwin explained it to people a long time ago but some people refuse to believe it.
]]>A GOP sheriff vowed not to enforce Arizonaโs coronavirus restrictions. Now heโs tested positive.
Gee… Who could have known that would happen?!
]]>Want a laugh/groan? Seems our Moron-in-Chief is still trying to copy Dottard. But it’s not really working (how surprising)๐๐คทโโ๏ธ He’s trying to discredit our State Premier, Daniel Andrews, handling of COVID19 in Vic. Started calling C19 “Victorian Coronavirus” (after Dottard’s “China Coronavirus”. How imaginative.๐
]]>They just did it to Trump’s fake charity, so the NRA is on the same downward slide. They could have saved themselves by backing Oliver North and cleaned up their act, but LaPierre probably had too much dirt of the members of the Board of Directors for any of them to do the decent and legal thing.
