  • Dumbest Thing I've read today, via the internet......

puttnfool lol the ? Is posted to you, today, is that why you have your guns......I think the cat has yours...or is it that you can't help but troll?/!

      ode You're confusing. You should all be fairly familiar with my beliefs and why I defend the 2A. You just stopped mid-sentence and I just wondered why you didn't finish your thought.

        puttnfool... or imagine how many patriots might have armed themselves with a tool similar to what they'd face if they ever had to defend their country against their government.

        I think, with this statement, you've shown all of us where you are coming from.(and possibly where you are headed)
        The fact you've also poisoned the mind of your offspring is shameless.

        **Definition of patriot


        one who loves his or her country and supports its authority and interests **

            Bill Why would I have had the need for more than 1 shot at a time? Was I going to miss?

                Par4QC What if you see multiple rabbits, squirrels, deer, or whatever animal you're hunting?

                    puttnfool Have you even read the 2nd amendment to see what it does say? Along with all the 'attachments', decisions, etc.? I'd bet not from your ramblings. If you have, you certainly do not understand the English language as it is written.

                        Par4QC I spent 20 years of my life defending the Constitution. I didn't do it blindly.

                          puttnfool And on the other hand, how many, do you suppose, of those 58 killed, owned weapons? And tell us how they protected them!! More than 200 injured. How many of them owned weapons. How did they protect them????

                          Nevermind. I'm reading they were all killed or injured, while they were not able to do anything towards the shooter.

                              There are bag limits. A gun owner should know that. Then again, I'm quite sure you are not a hunter.

                                  Bill Not exact, could not find pics, but these are so close to what I had to use. .22 & .410

                                  Hickok? I think not......Dillon was better!
                                  And....when your dad let's you take the gun out to hunt, and he counts the bullets beforehand, and after, you better not miss. Or just not shoot. He taught you. Failure is not an option, ya know.

                                      Not a hunter? I've killed my share. The bag limit for squirrels was 6 on hand and 12 in the freezer at home when I was a kid. The pump action shotgun came in handy often. No way you're reloading a single shot fast enough to get the 2nd or 3rd once you fire off that first shot.

                                        sdandrea1 And, here again, I can lose them with a single shot! No sound reasoning for these guys not understanding.

                                          Par4QC

                                          I've had a couple single shots. Lucky for me there were other options to use. I could probably do just fine hunting with a single shot but why? I'll take 4-10rds in a lever gun over a single shot anything all day long.

                                              Bill Like I said, it's what we had. Lucky to have had them. And bullets/shells.
                                              Had to be a good shot or no game. Might spend all day walking just to get a couple.
                                              Also, never liked to pick buckshot out of my food, so the .22 was my choice.

                                                  Here's an interesting read for you.

                                                  Murders in US very concentrated: 54% of US counties in 2014 had zero murders, 2% of counties have 51% of the murders

                                                  https://crimeresearch.org/2017/04/number-murders-county-54-us-counties-2014-zero-murders-69-1-murder/

                                                  "Suburban households are 28.6% more likely to own guns than urban households. Despite lower gun ownership, urban areas experience much higher murder rates. One should not put much weight on this purely “cross-sectional” evidence over one point in time and many factors determine murder rates, but it is still interesting to note that so much of the country has both very high gun ownership rates and zero murders."

                                                  "This study shows how murders in the United States are heavily concentrated in very small areas. Few appreciate how much of the US has no murders each year. Murder isn’t a nationwide problem. It’s a problem in a very small set of urban areas, and any solution must reduce those murders."

                                                  Bill Yep, my first gun was a single shot .410 that I still have. Killed plenty of squirrels with that one, but loved it when I was given my 2nd gun, the pump action 20 gauge.
