Obama: Don't stock up on guns

[El Tejon]

An 8 year old walking into a gun store and buying a gun?  Well, only if he takes his older brother, age 10.

My father bought his first firearm over the counter, a Stevens .22, at age 12 in Bloomington, Indiana.  He purchased his first pistol at 15 with a note from my grandfather (Indiana had a law that one had to be 16 to buy a pistol, but this was often ignored if the parent said it was O.K.). 

Obama has told me that we need to find a "reasonable compromise" on guns.  The problem being that he believes Chicago is that reasonable compromise.

As to Barry's latest Ant Hill Directive, too late, I've been panic buying since 2004.

[quote Mitt Romney also said he believed in the Second Amendment and a ban on assault weapons . . . in one sentence.  :rolleyes:/quote]

Hank, I'm glad I'm not the only one who remembers that from the Fox debates. That one statement lost him any chance of ever getting my vote.

I've been doing that too, ever since AWB-I started pushing up daisies.  Neat thing is, I've also helped wake up other folks to the situation and "sponsored" some additional EBR and evil hi-cap pistol owners.

Do we have a similar acronym to EBR for wundernines and their like?  Obviously it wouldn't apply to the 1911, but there has to be a magic acronym for the Glock 17, Springfield XDm, CZ-75 and their "ilk."

I've heard DA/SA pistols nicknamed "Crunchentickers" . . .

Those times sounds like wonderful times indeed!

When I was that age I could have ordered most any gun through the mail. :)

Getting it past my mom would have been another problem ...  :rolleyes:

What!? You had a parent "supervising" you and making sure you didn't do anything she would disapprove of!???

That's downright tyrannical!!

Thankfully we don't put up with that crap anymore.

That is rather bizarre, isn't it ...? 

[Umber]

Conversation last Friday evening at the Umber family's dinner table...  a Christmas story to warm an anti's tiny, shriveled heart.

Mrs. Umber:  I want something from Santa as an early Christmas gift.

Me:  What, Dear?

Mrs. Umber:  Something that shoots.

Me:  But, Dear... Santa just brought you a Glock 17 and 4 extra mags.  You like it better than your S & W .38 special don't you?

Mrs. Umber:  Hrumph!  That Glock's good enough for critters trying to kill my chickens, but I want something that SHOOTS.

Me:  Shoots?  Shoots what??

Mrs. Umber:  Something big.  I want Santa to bring me a Springfield XD .45 ACP.

Me:  Have you been on the computer again?

Mrs. Umber:  And extra mags.  And plenty of practice ammo and a few boxes of the good stuff, as you call it.  I've already called and Dan is holding an XD for me.

Me: (Rolling eyes) Yes, Dear.  Of course, Dear.  An XD.

Mrs. Umber:  More chicken, Sweetie?  Yes, here... take some more.  I know you prefer rifles, but have you ever thought about getting a .44 mag revolver?  A Ruger Super Redhawk maybe?

Me:  Can't say as I have, no.

Mrs. Umber.  Well, you should START thinking about one then.  I like the low glare finish on that stainless and I like a double action.  Don't you?  Do you have loading dies and brass?

Me: Not yet, Dear, but it looks like I'll have them soon. (muttering to myself: I've created a monster!)

Mrs. Umber:  Pie and ice cream for dessert, Sweetie?


Just so you folks know, I'm a dyed in the wool skinflint... but sometimes spending money is a good thing.  After running a couple boxes of ammo through the XD and another box through the Glock, Mrs. Umber was all smiles.  And that's what counts.

Wonder how that Redhawk's gonna shoot?

The EBR word for high cap 9mm pistols is "Pocket Rocket"

That and "Common Sense Gun Control" are products of Americans for Gun Safety & Violence Policy Center

No, he just assumes us lowly peasants were born yesterday, that we don't check voting records, that we don't check newspaper archives and such.

  Wellllll...

He mostly assumes correctly if that is indeed what he assumes.

How unfortunately true.

We also have a violence on the streets that is the result of illegal handgun usage.

 Ok then, our president elect thinks street violence is caused by guns. Just how unplugged from reality is this guy?

[neviander]

Would it kill a politician to say "Do what you want, this is America" GAR!

I wonder what O would say if people were stocking up on crucifixes and bibles ...?

...or pitchforks and torches?

^^^ NOT A RACIST REMARK.  Just a freaking joke.  You sick, twisted freak.

Racist would be stocking up on rope and sheets...

Just sayin'

A few do, but they get called nut-cases and their supporters are accused of wearing Wookiee suits and living in their mom's basements.

Only when they go beyond simple libertarian thought and bring the crazy.

Which is what they keep doing. It's like

"Okay, makes sense." "Okay." "Okay, I can agree with that." "...What? That's a silly conspiracy theory." "Oh my god these people are nuts." 

[280plus]

I remember when comic books advertised that Savage .22/.410 over and under on the back page. It showed a Dad taking his kid out to shoot one and they were using old 78 rpm records for targets. Always wanted one of those guns but alas, Mom wouldn't let me have one either. Got one now though!  Great squirrel gun...

Crazy being defined 'what I personally disagree with'.

I thought "pocket rocket" was EBR-speak for any concealable pistol considered suitable for defensive use?

[Manedwolf]

No, crazy being:

"We should ignore the electronic global transactions for the value of goods and services and go back to a 19th century standard of a shiny, nearly useless metal that is stockpiled in quantity by some of our economic enemies."

and

"9/11 was an inside job."
