Having grown up in the swamp, I never really wanted a rifle, other than a .22. I won a Marlin 336 in a fishing tournament when I was 15, and never really shot it. We used shotguns, bows and .22's for everything. I didn't really get into rifles until my late 20's, when I found out that killing deer without them was not cool.

The only thing worse than a liberal is a liberal that thinks they're a conservative.
