She lives off-campus, and woe betide the thug who decides to break in on a "defenceless student". We celebrate this as adulthood and freedom and civic responsibility and LIBERTY. <br /><br />The folks to whom this photo op catered do not understand. They simply have been socialized to be passive and compliant and to irrationally perceive guns as "icky"; they cannot change unless subjected to a life-changing, probably horrible and bloody event where they needed a gun but didnt have one. Even then, it might not change their minds.<br /><br />Regards<br />GKT<br /><br />Greg Tagnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-6024204165360359722014-05-21T22:20:54.950-04:002014-05-21T22:20:54.950-04:00I suspect that you would find more ammunition in t...I suspect that you would find more ammunition in the bottom of one of Tam's ammo cans than you see on that table.<br /><br />What I do find interesting is the two speedloaders with hollow points for the S&W revolver.

Like, miniatures along the lines of the little green plastic army guys? Then sure, that might be enough for a small army.<br /><br />On the negative side, I have no doubt that the numbers coupled with the terminology of "militia" were used on purpose, as if to start a liberal media trend to quantify exactly how many firearms are appropriate for a member of a militia. Surely this cannot be accidental and that the "militia" reference along with numbers of guns was definitely on purpose.<br /><br />Got to go re-adjust my tinfoil now...Ancient Woodsmannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-62840942439054280672014-05-21T18:23:45.186-04:002014-05-21T18:23:45.186-04:00When I got my first Garand I didn't see the po...When I got my first Garand I didn't see the point of getting a bayonet, too. After a while, just for completeness I did get one. So I didn't even wait when I got my first M1 Carbine, and I actually picked up a Swiss bayonet before the K31.<br /><br />Just part of the collecting bug, everyone posting here understands that. But imagine the "ZOMG!!11!!eleventy!!1!" from the media if they heard that I have three bayonets. That's before they hear about the Ka-bar and the Camillus knives.<br /><br />It's also comforting to realize that my two Gamo air rifles, two Daisy air pistols, and Drozd BB gun will appear on the table next to the XCR and AR-15.
