On their website ( http://bradycampaign.com/ ) they had a video about how bad the NRA and guns in general are. They showed a gun company as a guy in a suit that says "It is not our fault if people use our products irresponcibly"

In that little video they showed only the those ugly black bull-pups. Not one single shot rifle. Not one revolver. Not even a bolt action.

I propose a revolt. I will not buy another automatic pistol. I will not buy another service carbine. I will only buy revolvers and hunting rifles and shotguns. My home defence shotgun doubles as my close cover deer gun. (It's a side-by-side 16 gauge.) I keep it under my bed unloaded with shells near by. I'd hate to be in court with one of those black pump shotguns with all the military looking things on it.
In court with military looking pump shotgun.
"Mr. Win, why do you have such a gun?" "Gee Mr. Lawyer, I like to have an ugly gun" "Mr. Win, why do you like to have an ugly gun?" "Mr. Lawyer I think it looks cool, but also Mr. Lawyer, there's no accounting for taste." (and so on)
Oposed to. (With my double)
"Mr. Win, why do you have such a gun?" "Gee Mr Lawyer, it's my deer shotgun. Perfect for deer hunting." "Mr. Win, Why was it under your bed?" "Mr. Lawyer it was there because I heard this a....man walking in my backyard the week befoe and I was scared." You get the idea.

It is the ugly guns that get us the bad rap. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" />

OK, so I guess you propose to change the 2nd Amendment to read something like "...The right to bear only those arms deemed to be not only aesthetically pleasing, but approved by the Government shall not be infringed..."

Rack up another success for the Brady Campaign...

They may make you sick, but what sickens me is that you fell for their "divide and conquor" technique.

So, those gun owners who have the so-called "ugly" firearms that you describe are evil and you are the good...

I noticed that you wrote that you wouldn't buy another service carbine or "automatic pistol". This indicates that you have them, or have bought them in the past. So, you're a convert to the "good" side.

While you're at it, why don't you revolt against all automobiles that go over 15mph (since that should comply with all trafic speed limits out there, from the highways to School Zones), since it's those fast cars that make all drivers look bad.

Reagan and Brady were not shot with an assault rifle, bullpup shotgun, automatic pistol or service carbine. The firearm used (I believe, but don't know exactly) was a revolver. So, after you perform your revolt, do you *really* think that the Brady Campaign is going to stop if all the *ugly*, evil guns are banned? How safe do you think your revolvers will be?

As for your safe, politically-correct, double-barrelled shotgun, it's only a hacksaw-job away from being a "street sweeping sawed-off shotgun weapon of mass destruction."

Do I own ony non-pc firearms? No...unless you count my evil, black Kahr MK9 semi-auto pistol. My point? My point is that even though I don't own, or even have an interest in those styles of firearms, I realize that there are others that do and that we must all stand together and cut out this "I'm an elitist and what you do is wrong" Bulls#*t.

We're all gun-owners.

Period.

We may not always agree on all points and we may not even necessarily like the other members interests. However, you either fight the battle now, standing with *all* groups in a position of strength, or fight the battle on your own later when those other groups have been defeated and cannot help you.

You have an odd way of looking at things, Mr. Win.

Scope still upside down?? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />

I should probably stay outta this thread, as once I post, everyone will follow and thus result hundreds of views that wound not otherwise happen. But......

If you want to build a bridge, ask a civil engineer.

If you need advise on your spinal tap, ask a surgeon.

If you need advice on your tax return, ask a cpa.

If you need to know about guns, DONT ASK SARAH BRADEY, ask a gunsmith...

Pretty simple logic, huh?

Yah, You all are right.

I did some thinking about what I said and came up with about the same conclusion. Sorry........
