I guess my closest thing to a dumb purchase was my first rifle, and it was more ignorance. I just didn't know much about guns and bought a Rem 710. It's long gone and good riddance.

Now, guns I had the opportunity to purchase and didn't? Been several of those over the years that still make me feel dumb.

Those who must raise their voice to get their point across are generally not intelligent enough to do so in any other way.
