Hell man, if my son lived with me youl'd be gun poor...... LOL

As I said, I think about a gun like a do a tool in the garage.

You get a sense of self worth from ownership of your guns. You're more of a man.

This is certainly interesting. I'd love to know how you are able to climb inside people's brains and know what's going on in their lives better than they do. So you take your guns out during hunting season but it's not a hobby?

Them ain't non pea shooters............ Nice they didn't go cheaper and buy bolt guns. The semi will tame some recoil, not much, but some. Old bodies like mine and recoil are not a great mix.

strange, the batf also does not know what their inventories are either, and they are a branch of the federal goverment.

Question for gun lovers....were you picked on as kids?

nope not picked on at all. everyone around me and the families near us all owned firearms. heck, we even used to take firearms to school in the back windows of our pu trucks and not a word was said about it at all.

"U.S. most armed country with 90 guns per 100 people"

Makes you wonder why we even need a military. Who in their right mind would attempt to invade a country with that many armed citizens. Which by the way was the reason for the 2nd Amendment, not to have the ability to defend folks against the national government.

Which begs the question, if guns are so damned important to defend against the strongest military in the world, bar none, why are these same folks so damned scared of third rate ones?

Most people that have a gun, have more than one. I do not know a single person that has a gun, that just has that one gun.
