Five Ridiculous Gun Myths Everyone Believes, Thanks to Movies

I thought this was pretty good, especially considering the audience it's probably geared towards. Some of the comments -- eh, not so much.

If cowardly and dishonorable men sometimes shoot unarmed men with army pistols or guns, the evil must be prevented by the penitentiary and gallows, and not by a general deprivation of a constitutional privilege.

Hey you kids!! Get off my lawn!!!

They keep making this eternal vigilance thing harder and harder.  Protecting the 2nd amendment is like playing PACMAN - there's no pause button so you can go to the bathroom.

I needed a mod to change my signature because the concept of "family friendly" eludes me.
Just noticed that a mod changed my signature. How long ago was that?

Thank you, I have now wasted an hour of my life on crack(ed).com.  And doubtless many more until I manage to somehow suppress all conscious awareness of it.  Cracked is way too freaking addictive.

That was really good. I sent it to my liberal nieces and nephews on Facebook. Maybe they'll learn something (including my retired Navy Lieutenant Commander nephew who knows jack about guns).

Link works fine for me, Cracked is more addictive than heroin, and I love that article.

Growing up MAD magazine was the stuff.  Cracked was the annoying little brother that tried to hard to be liked.

Cracked has now surpassed MAD and is the stuff. 

Yes, that site is highly addictive....

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

Better an hour cracked than an hour on crack. :P  =D

Great stuff....esp. the part about supressors....if you look at the other YouTube links, you'll see one with a girl named "S" shooting a supressed 9mm Glock....then there's another of her shooting an unsupressed MP5 clone in .22lr.....both sound suprisingly similar....

I really wish they'd change GCA '34 to move supressors, SBS, SBR, and AOW's from the tax stamp to the basic NICS check.....
