Guns Suck!

[Chris_]

That is a bunch of crap!  If the founders had wanted to limit the reach of the 2nd amendment they were smart enough to word it to just a militia.

The 2nd says a well regulated militia AND the right of the people. 

The BOR was not to limit the powers of the PEOPLE but the GOVERNMENT and any prof. who doesn't understand that needs to take History 101.

Exactly.   What was funny about the class is that the ones defending the 2nd amendment were female(3, including a friend of mine who is very outspoken on the subject...don't piss her off, that's all I will say ) , and the whiny anti-gun freaks were guys (a couple of hippies) .  LOL 

I think my prof needs to stick with just teaching GEORGIA history(which is what the class is SUPPOSED to be about), and leave the rest of the US out of it.

Ask this prof. WHO is the militia.  As a GA History prof. she should know what is in the states constitution.  Most of the state constitutions say all able bodied males ages 17 (or 18) to 45 (or 65) are in the states militia and can be called up to help defend the state/country as needed.  They will also be required to provide their own arms.

I was once sad because I saw a man with no shoes, then I saw a nation with no arms!   

A Senator in Vermont several years ago wanted to put a luxury tax on any resident who did NOT own a firearm because they were going to need to be protected by those who had firearms in the case of an emergency.  hmmmm I don't think he called it a luxury tax.  I may have to google that for ya.

Well, I don't think she will be continuing the discussion.  She, in the middle of the rant, realized she was going so off course, that she killed the discussion right then and there, and we got back on topic again.   

But if the 2nd amendment becomes an issue again in the class, I will say something.

I could care less if you think guns are the bane of all thats good or not. I have no intention of being a victim of any crime just to make you jackholes happy. If the press in this country were truely honest you would see just how much more often guns are used to stop violent crimes then to commit them. Most gun owners rarely use thier guns for anything more dangerous then target shooting or hunting but there have been more then enough used for self defense that as others here have said ,"It's better to have one and not need it then to need one and not have it".

What'dya have, a shotgun?

If she brings it up again, ask her why she feels people should be defenseless.

Oh, I already know what she thinks about that issue.    It's one of those naive "oh, I'm sure we can talk this out" kind of things.

33. I shot a gun once in my life...I hit bullseyes from 50 yards with a hand gun...
   
Aim down the sights...squeeze, don't jerk the trigger...

Couldn't be simpler.

Bull-****in' shit. I'm sure the Dummy was about 10 feet away, missed completely and pissed himself and dropped the gun after the recoil.

First time shooting, I sucked. We had these targets up where it's a bullseye (10 pts) and the outer rings of that being 9, 8, 7, and 6.... Out of 6 shots, I might have got a 20. I'll have to dig 'em out if I still got them to be sure, but I know I wasn't ****in' no Pat Flanigan my first time at the range like this piss poor excuse for a human being is saying.

Found it..



This was from 10 yards away too. Told ya it sucked.

Good enough for Government work. Close enough to center of mass to inflict severe chest trauma and slow up  the threat.

And I hate to say it, but it's scads better than most cops shoot after training.

These work better and you can make it look like an accident a whole lot easier.
