allthumbs Posted May 22, 2003 Posted May 22, 2003 The annual meeting of the NRA gives me much to think about. We bid goodbye to our outstanding president, Charlton Heston, who served the association splendidly during his three terms, and welcome new president Police Chief Kayne Robinson, who is well on top of the situation. That situation is never easy. The foes of liberty never sleep, and the less sense they make the louder they howl. They do not accept the fact that THE ARMED CITIZEN IS IN ITSELF THE DEPARTMENT OF INTERNAL SECURITY. No government can tyrannize an armed citizenry, as has been proven throughout history. The armed citizen can be ruled only by his own consent, and this is obvious to both sides of the political spectrum. I think we may assume that the good people will always outnumber the bad people, and thus if all people are equipped and ready to protect their liberties, those liberties can never be destroyed. This has always seemed simple to those of us in our camp. Why it is not so to people on the other side remains a puzzlement. So we take continued pride and comfort in our Association, the oldest and most distinguished civil rights gathering in the world. The NRA is not perfect. Nothing is. But the remedy for that is to get into it and make it so. There is always room for argument, and the truth, reached by argument, shall make you free. So it goes Brothers, trask Quote
catbirdseat Posted May 22, 2003 Posted May 22, 2003 So sayeth Robbie the NRA robot, regurgitating standard rhetoric about freedom, security, second amendment, blah, blah, blah... Trask, I'll bet you have one of those bumper stickers that says, "the day they take my gun away, they'll have to pry it from my cold, dead fingers"? Quote
AlpineK Posted May 22, 2003 Posted May 22, 2003 I've got 7 chainsaws and a chipper. Does that count as being armed? Quote
erik Posted May 22, 2003 Posted May 22, 2003 i got a hand gun for my 18th birthday. i think i have shot it like 5 times total. hand guns are pointless. just like machine guns. the sad thing about the nra, is that thier heads are shoved sooo far up thier ass, that they will never see reality. Quote
allthumbs Posted May 22, 2003 Author Posted May 22, 2003 Erik, you turd - Handguns are a lot of fun for shooting at targets, cans, bottles, cats, rats, and ghetto varmints. Enuf wit da negitive vibes already. trask Quote

And if you get caught, you got that chipper to dispose of the body... Quote
A7U Posted May 23, 2003 Posted May 23, 2003 catbirdseat said: Fence_Sitter said: or picking mounties of mountaineers dome! Blood makes the rock all slippery and hard to climb. Perhaps the PERFECT testing-ground for A7U-brand 12 gauge hydrophobic chalkshells. "Dryit then climit" we say down at the ol' KeroChalk factory. Of course, even the Mounties might have a member trained in service rifle competition. Worst thing you could do for yourself is bring fire on a target upslope from your pos. CBS, I love ya man, we can disagree on guns but still get along about climbing. I think. Quote
