RIFLE TWISTS

[JOHN L. HINNANT]

Good Morning Slake,

Great to hear from another NRA and NMLRA member. It would not hurt for all NRA Members to remind all non-members how important NRA Membership is to protecting the 2nd Amendment.

The last statistic I saw was that for every NRA Member, there are 20 non-members that hunt or own firearms.

You have a nice day now,

John L. Hinnant

 

According to the last statistic you read only one in twenty gun owners belongs to the NRA? That's a most interesting statistic, yet it totally baffles me. :hmm:

Good Afternoon Flyboy,

Yes, it is baffling.

Even more baffling are large numbers of business men I have met over the years who profess to be in, one breath, strong 2nd Amendment supporters.

In the next breathe they will state how they are willing to support and vote for a strict anti-gun ownership political candidate, because that politico is better for their business.

Go figure; I certainly cannot.

Best regards and good shooting,

John L. Hinnant

If you are not an NRA Member, why not? I am carrying your load.

[***Sean***]

Wow :thumbsup: What is that gun? 8' long?

 

[gmww]

You tap the deer on the shoulder to get it to look at you just before you pull the trigger. :rotf:

 

[davy]

I have no idea why someone had this made(it's all a factory made rifle) but anyone that shoots these 48"ers or close to it( a few inchs one way or the other) got no excuse to miss, as bad as I am I can still put 3 into a hole at 50 yds the size of a dime, and its the rifle and sights not me. You got to hear that 433 ball comeing out of that long barrel with 90 grs 3f Swiss, its fast real fast. :grin: :rotf: FRED :hatsoff:

 

[Slake]

thanks John, I'll even add one more for all of you yankees out there I am also a member of the NYSRPS which is the New York State Rifle and Pistol Association.....and while I have the soap box..it's these groups that keep our second amendment rights strong

 

[faw3]

Can we get a " Hell ya" for that! :bow: Fred :hatsoff:

 

[Claude Mathis]

Please stay on topic and do not drag the Second Amendment into this discussion.

Thanks

 

[Nightwind]

GMWW, thanks for posting that pic of Freds looooooong rifle. I'm the guy he was talking about.

Fred, Geez..... the one I shot wasn't as long as the 48", but longer than the short one. It shot very good for me!
Thanks again

 

[faw3]

No problem Nightwind, Thanks again GMWW. Fred :hatsoff: (the short one is a 1 1/8thx26" 50 cal 1x26" twist for shooting those Big around 500 grs bullets)

Honest question not trying to stir up trouble.Why is it that the 2nd amendment is not allowed to be discussed on a firearm forum?

 

[Zonie]

Jess: The Second Ammendment is not discussed here for several reasons.
First, and foremost it is just preaching to the choir so it doesn't add anything that 99.9% of the people don't agree with.

Second: If someone were foolish enough to disagree with something said in favor of the Second Amendment an all out attack by the above 99.9% would be launched against the person.

Third: Claude, the owner of this Forum, feels there are a number of other Forums to use to talk about the Second Amendment so there is no need to use our computer space that could be directed towards the things that this Forum is really about, that being the discussion of Re-enacting, Traditional Muzzleloading Rifles, and all that goes with them.

Whoops! I done talked about it. :redface:

 

[faw3]

WELL PUT! :nono: think we are all on the same page on this one. FRED :hatsoff:

 

[Tracy]

Zonie thanks for the responce.I was just curious.It seems we should all be on the side of the 2nd amendment.

 

[Claude Mathis]

It seems we should all be on the side of the 2nd amendment.

We probably are. :winking: No harm in asking. :thumbsup:

Zonie explained it very well. There are numerous sites that specialize in the legal aspects of owning firearms, but we're here to discuss the firearms themselves and their use, not our right to own them.

Past history on the Forum...
Once we begin discussing the Second Amendment, it invariably branches off into discussions of the political parties, then it segues into other aspects of politics and "freedom". It ends up being the same old rhetoric and chest beating, that leads nowhere. We've seen it too many times before and it's not productive.
