Hey, is that even the right way to hold a rifle? Can't you shoot your foot off like that?

Just wondering.

I suppose that liberals would never know the difference between a rifle and a shotgun - being that you rely solely on the bravery and honor of patriotic Americans to protect you.

Technically,it could be a single-shot rifle. You wouldn't know from the picture.

possible, but I don't think I've ever seen one of those that folds at a 90 degree angle.  Neither in real life nor on the intranetz.  You are of course technically correct, but the odds of that being a rifle are about the same as me winning the next powerball.  You gotta admit the "shooting her foot off" comment explains a lot about the LA-Time's knowledge of guns.

A:  Duplicate thread.

B:  I was going to say that Irwin would kick this to another forum, but there is simply no way of knowing which political topics he will deem to be political topics.

Since this is already being discussed over on Round Table, I'm closing this one.

Mike Irwin, keeping brainless bunnies guessing as to what's what for over a year.

Let's go over this, fistless... this isn't a politics topic why?

Because it's a thread about a reporter's not knowing his elboze from his arseholze, NOT about Sarah Palin toting a rifle onto the floor of Congress in support of Second Amendment rights.
