Mike, is your point that some people call guns "toys?"
Some people call guitars "axes." I wouldn't try to split wood with one though.
Some guys call their wives "battle axes." Those would probably work better.

I already told you, a toy is something I'd give to a five year-old and tell him to go out and play in the yard with. If he breaks it, no sweat.
My fly rods don't fit that definition.
And I will never refer to a gun as a "toy." Lots of others won't either, for (what should be) obvious reasons.
"Don't understand what is so hard to understand about that but apparently it is quite beyond your mental capabilities." OK, you would never refer to a gun as a 'toy'. Many people do under certain circumstances. You bury your head in the sand and refuse to acknowledge there is more than one valid definition of 'toy' - your definition. Personally, I have lots of 'toys' I would never let a 5-year old near. And wouldn't let a lot of adults near, either. That list includes firearms.

My most recent 'toy'. $295 at a gun show in Colorado Springs earlier this year. Savage FXP3. Had it at the range last Sunday. After checking out the zero at 100 yards we headed to the long range. Busted a clay at 300 yards with the first shot. Second shot, BOOM, clang, 500 yard steel. Third shot, BOOM, clang, 600 yard steel. Fun toy! ![[Linked Image]](http://www.hunt101.com/data/500/Savage_FXP3_243_Win_with_Burris.jpg)

Then STFU. The rest of your statement is superflous bullshit with no real bearing on this discussion other than to massage your own ego. Suckin' on my titties like you wanted me.

mike r Numerous people here have thanked my for putting up the water jug info, regardless of those who voiced different opinions. Ditto to calling guns 'toys' when the situation warrants. Some support it, others don't. Those that don't prefer to rely on personal attack rather than rational discussion. As far as I'm concerned, calling guns 'toys' when the situation warrants is 'intellectual honesty' as opposed to 'political correctness'.

Mule Deer did lie. He has never bothered to deny it because to do so would be just another easily provable lie. But I'm not the one that brought it up.
