    Man you gun guys love bragging over and over about all your guns and all the rounds you have. Strange.


    If you shoot a lot.... and many people do.... It is MUCH more economical to buy ammo in bulk...I shoot a LOT of 5.56, .40 S&W, .22, 9mm, etc...... I typically buy ammo in bulk..... Not a big deal to have  a few thousand rounds of 5.56
    Sre you saying you go to the range once a week, once a month, or once a year?
    More like 3-4 times a week.... A very nice Range is less than 5 minutes from my house..... Great way to wind down from the day after work... I have a Glock 23 that I bought in 1992 that is on its fith or sixth barrel, I do not know how many springs, trigger jobs, etc. Only thing original is the slide and frame.

    My ARs and other long guns I shoot a couple times a month. and when we shoot ARs there are usually 12 -15 of us including wive's kids. guests, friends. etc..... Probably about 8 ARs between us... I have run over a thousand rounds through my three ARs in a single afternoon.

    Definition of a gun nut........
    You are more nuts than Ferris the Squirrel....

    Its called a hobby....A legal and legitimate hobby.... That is a lot of fun.
    Have I ever said otherwise? If so, show the forum. Or is just your imagination trying to put down those who don't support your contrived thesis's?
    I was not talking to you or about you....ln fact, I never noticed your existence until a few days ago.........

    I chose Ferris as a random name for a creepy squirrel... Seemed fitting when describing cyclist...

    Something sick about the title of this thread. Wonder if it is your 14 yr old daughter that got shot at the school if you also go out and buy more firearms in her honor. Maybe leave some by her burial site. Give some freebies around the neighborhood. I am sure the parents of these kids are all proud that you honored their dead children
    They stand against children victims, and glorify gun crazed killers. Not surprising, and accurately fitting of their character.

    They stand against having a right taken away when they have done nothing to have that right removed.  You can stigmatize it any way that makes you happy, people die everyday for many reasons.

    You only have the rights that society gives you, there are no "natural rights". 

    This entire "rights" thing is a misnomer and doesn't exist.

    Mister not wrong.  In my view, he couldn't be more right (pardon the pun)....at least in the first sentence.

    "Rights" are things given to you by a society based on morality/law.  Just because the framers of our Constitution said they were god-given and inalienable, doesn't mean they are, that's just how they were justified at the time. 

    Don't believe me?  Talk to a great white shark (or a pirate off the coast of Vietnam) about your rights and see how that goes.  You'll be wishing they were a member of the society that recognizes your rights and protects them with morals and laws, as the words of Jefferson and Madison don't compel them.

    So, rights do exist, but only within the context of a society that recognizes them...to believe otherwise is to reason with sharks or pirates -- good luck with that.

    Tell us more about natural rights, and how amendments foresaw the future.

    The three-fifths clause (Article I, Section 2, of the U.S. Constitution of 1787) in fact declared that for purposes of representation in Congress, enslaved blacks in a state would be counted as three-fifths of the number of white inhabitants of that state.

    Sounds like you should drive a bit slower in the fog, to be frank.


    Why would I want to be Frank? Frank makes a fine Frank. He's the only Frank we need.

    Why should I drive slower in the fog? I've not had a fog related MVA to this point.

    Thanks Dave.  That's not at all what I'm talking about, and you must be confused again if you thought I was comparing those things and/or hope to teach me anything about civics.

    Unfortunately, I didn't make any spelling errors in that post, so instead I'm left having nothing to else to thank you for.

    You ignorant POS, the jews - the people in my family tree didn't have the option to fight they were unarmed and rounded up by having what would be equal to an AR pointed at their heads and either shot or sent to concentration camps. Bringing the holocaust into a discussion about the second amendment makes no sense, you truly are a brick - change the b for a p.   You are not honoring any dead children of this shooting with posts, you are disgracing them. Pretty sure the OP also previously posted we should ban blacks, why has this racist POSD not been banned for life from this site?

    I know about which I speak. My mother was born and raised in Leipzig, Germany in the 1930's. Do some research.

    Ex wife's family is Jewish. Her grandmother has a tattoo on her arm.

    Stop being a pacifist victim.


    Please post where I stated blacks should be banned. I also challenge you to post anything I've stated that is racist(please look up the definition of racist).

    You seem upset(you triggered little ****). If you would like to get together sometime so we can "clear the air" I'm your huckleberry.

    You just made my argument for me friend. HAD THEY BEEN ARMED they would not have been led to slaughter.

    Don't think it(the slaughter of innocents) can't happen here. It happens all over the world.
