Why own a gun?

[USFREEDOM911]

Naw, I grew up elsewhere - not so much...Arizona's cotton fields be damned.

But make believe land doesn't count and I've lived in several States, besides AZ.

After all, your hero Lanza used a semi-auto, didn't he?

It's absolutely disgusting that you are given the freedom of speech to utter such things as this. In my book, you are akin to Lanza. Society should lock you away from the public and never let you see the light of day. No one on this board, dare I say, no sane person in this country, views Lanza as a hero. For you to make such an asinine comment in light of this tragedy is reprehensible.

I own guns, I will always own guns. Comments like yours make me want to buy more guns. I've never shot another human being, and I hope that I never have to. That said, whenever you get the balls to come on to my property with the intent of taking something from me that you don't have a right to, I'll send your degenerate punk ass to meet your maker, so you best have your affairs in order before you come.

If you're using an AR-15 to hunt, that says you already are worried about aesthetics...but for the wrong reasons.

Oh? So you know that I picked that rifle for the way it looks? Nothing to do with accuracy, weight, quick second shot or any other reason?

You need to get off the crack if you think a simple bolt action gives the performance of an Armalite, Colt, Larue, or Wilson combat weapon.

Actually, a good bolt action will exceed the accuracy of most autoloaders.

This is the same mind set that runs large flocks of sheep on federal land and poisons wolves and coyotes rather than spend the money to actually husband their animals. If you have a coyote problem you need to assume responsibility for securing your animals...it's really simple. Lazy fuckers!!

It is not laziness to not wish to see the demise of the red fox and of ground nesting birds, both of which are in danger due to the exploding coyote population.

How does the action have anything to do with accuracy?

It does have something to do with it, and for most of the 20th century the bolt action was the king of accuracy. But better manufacturing techniques and closer tolerances have cut the gap down considerably.

Not to mention lasers and scopes, etc. I guess I can see your point, with the older guns, this would stand to reason. Still.... I like a good semi-automatic. When the liberal zombies start invading my property in search of my guns, I can kill more of them with a semi.

Accuracy versus what, a semi-automatic made for law enforcement assault rifle? A bolt action rifle is inherently more accurate than a semi-automatic.

My AR-10 is not for law enforcement- it is a match grade weapon that shoots very well up to 700 yards.

that only covers one part of performance

I had no intentions of attempting argue semantics with someone as uninformed as he is.

he is a trolling idiot

You are the site idiot. Is a village missing you somewhere?

 

[Rune]

Yeah, the important part idiot.

 

[Rune]

Are you serious? Fire formed brass for starters, more gas expansion out of the muzzle for another.

Neither of which is the reason for the increased acuracy of the bolt action, nitwit.

 

[Rune]

It has everything to do with accuracy. The bolt action is more accurate because the bullet has to travel less distance before engaging the rifle lands. Furthermore the same powder charge gives higher muzzle velocity since the auto (semi) draws off some of the propellent gas to work the action.(which only aids long range accuracy but does impart more stopping power)

do you still troll the cemetary looking for dates?

 

[Rune]

do you still troll the cemetary looking for dates?

Not since I met your wife.

What a very stupid thread.

What a very stupid thread.

The whole internet has become stupid since Friday. The combination of winter break and this has made it near impossible for me to tolerate being online. I honestly hope the world does end on the 21st.

Wouldn't it be ironic, if something world wide did occur and liberals found themselves in the need of "assault rifles" with clips that held more then 10 rounds?
