He is obviously not interested in ever owning a No. 1, though I would have to question whether a person of his "intellect" could even afford one.

He has chosen to address a group who:
  • Like Ruger products
  • Like Ruger No. 1s
  • Own multiple No. 1s
  • Like to discuss their No. 1s
  • Will likely own more No. 1s as our health and financial situations permit
  • Obviously do not share his moronic point of view
This group has obviously been around a while. Some -- like ENU -- have been active shooters and gun owners since before the No. 1 was first introduced. Outside of rost495, no one is stupid.

I may have missed something, but I think those are the basic facts. Not opinions, FACTS. Knowing the facts, I have to question the motives behind his continued rants. He obviously doesn't want to contribute any constructive discussion to the group. He obviously doesn't want to offer any complimentary commentary. He obviously doesn't want to trade for or buy one of the group's rifles, because, well, it's a Ruger. So I have to ask, just what in the hell is the motive here? Does he think everyone is as profoundly stupid and imbecilic as him? Does he think none of us can discern between a comment taken out of context and straight up BULLSHIT? Does he HONESTLY believe his point of view holds value to everyone outside of his empty little head?

Really, no one gives a good God-damn what you think, rost495. You're just a sad, ignorant little person who's become an annoying buffoon. Allow me to say what is on everyone's mind -- though most are searching for a tactful way to say it -- SHUT THE F*CK UP. (And really, there is no tactful way to say it.)


I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass. And I'm all out of bubblegum.
