Get 2 guns.. NOW

Considering the defection of mealy politician "Dubya" Bush, I think it would be prudent to have a .22 revolver and a .357 revolver in one's possession.

If what could happen DOES happen, those 2 items will be unobtainable for quite a while.

And if nothing at all happens, you will like both of them anyhow.
 
Small world: I already have the .22 and am in the process of getting a .357
as I write this. :)

Didn't seem to me that Bush "defected." He disagrees with the tactics that the NRA have chosen in accusing Clinton of a willingness to accept some violent crime to further his political agenda. I agree with the NRA, but Bush has a campaign to run and has to be seen as taking the high road. I think he is being very smart...he is letting the NRA do his dirty work while he stays out of the mud.
 
Not yet anyway :) The fact that he has a campaign to run is irrelevant to a perwons beliefs. He should say what he means and mean what he sais. This is why we are on the slippery slope to hell. Not a soul in office has the balls to stand up for what they believe. They say what the sheeple want to hear to get elected and then suck us dry of both $$ and rights to stay in office and enjoy the free ride. I cant seem to remember an election where the choice was not the lesser of two evils. In all honesty the only thing elections control is the angle of the slope. Direction however is next to impossible to change in the current environment.

I'm gonna get flamed for thinking this, but I don't mind.

I think that the NRA is digging its own grave. Currently the media is so anti guns that it will do what ever it can to make all gun owners, however sane and law abiding, look like craze militia men looking to destabilize the United States Government. What Wayne said may be true. (I don't believe it is entirely true) but he should have worded it differently. They way he said it, in the wake of the tragic shootings through the country just seemed a little insensitive to the families of the victims. I don't' know that how it appeared to me.

The backlash from this has the potential of increased gun control leglistion, because it makes the NRA look more like a fringe group and less like a mainstream lobby. And if members of congress think that people view the NRA as a fringe group, then they will stay away from them and not work as hard to help their cause. That's just my thought.

Let the flaming begin.

It ain't mah fault. did I do dat?
 
The NRA, along with gun owners, have been painted as the lunatic fringe for 20 years now, and that trend is accelerating. This is the first presidential election I can remember where the "gun issue" has been NUMBER ONE. The mud and filth are gonna get deep by election day.

It's going to be FASCINATING to see what the NRA's membership count is by then....
 
The NRA says nothing: they get demonized.
The NRA endorses "reasonable" gun control: they get demonized.
The NRA gives in totally, except on one minor point of a gun-control law: they get demonized.
The NRA calls Clinton a lying sack of dog doo-doo and says he dances in the blood of (gun) murder victims: they get demonized.

Does anyone see a pattern? If the NRA is going down and I don't think it is, but IF it's going down, I'd rather see it go down swinging, wouldn't you? At least now they're on the offensive. The fact that so far, the Clinton/Gore tag team has not refuted ONE IOTA of La Pierre's argument, may actually swing people, especially if the NRA stays in front of the cameras and keeps hammering that point home over and over. If they're controversial, they get to stay in the spotlight and get out the message, if they fold as they usually do, we get zip. This is a good thing people, it's just long overdue.

The NRA's hard line has unfortunately led to the liberals' ability to get the gun issue to #1.

A rigid line of defense was proven innefective with the Maginot line.

We are gonna get clipped off at the ankles with our feet firmly planted in the 2nd amendment argument.

We all know it is valid and real, but we are losing ground.

If I called any major candidate for any office and said I could deliver all 4000 TFL'ers as a bloc, I could probably get at least a polite "Sorry, but the senator has to pick his butt at this time, but he wants to thank you for your interest."

When one attacks, he should not appear to be doing so.
 
Attempting to bring this thread back on topic (hint, HINT)...

I just bought a Taurus Titanium .357 last week, and it's a beauty.

I'll probably pick up a Buckmark next week.
 
RikWriter, you wrote:

"TAZ, if Bush said what he meant and meant what he said, he wouldn't get elected. It's that simple."

You are so right. The biggest problem in this country is an electorate that will evade reality at every opportunity. They will elect petty people (politicians) who tell them what they want to hear, even if there is no way the pols. can deliver on their promises; it happens every election cycle. It's as if people are in a self-induced trance that they don't want to be awakened from.

BTW, Lavan, if you could only have two handguns in your arsenal, those would be the best choices. A good .22 rifle, a centerfire rifle, and a 12-guage shotgun would complete the picture.

Until I have my Thorazine, I tend to stray from the topic. Ahhhhhhh. better.

Mine is K22 and M66 both 6".....sweeeeeet.

Except for the presidential....aaargh. It's happening again. More meds, nurse.

Nurse!!!

I better watch out or someone is gonna save this post for my next 4473

heh.
 
Coinneach....... I notice you said you "bought" a titanium .357 and it looks neat.

Now....

Have you shot it yet? Nurse, some novocain for my hand please. heh again.
 
Gotta ask why a .357 and not a 9mm?

Isn't 9mm ammo more plentiful?

Lavan, I've shot both the .45 Colt and .357 Taurus Ti, and dey wuz smooooth.

S&W really screwed up with their titanium snub. The grips suck and the gun kicks harder than any other handgun I've ever shot. Taurus got it right. The grips, porting, and frame all work to absorb recoil. The .357 feels like a standard pressure .38 Special.

Quite simply, this gun rocks.
 
I've been gone for a while, so perhaps I've missed some discussions. Please entertain my uninformed queries.
What is the significance of the .22 and .357 calibers, and why revolvers?
:confused:

Off topic again. LaPierre has stepped on his you-know -what. Chink,Lavan, I gotta agree with you on this one, and I will share the flames. In the same vein, saw Susan Gratia-Hupp on TV last night along with the representative who's husband was killed in the subway massacre. Gratia-Hupp had some great points and I respect her very much for her passion.
But she came off as very rude and would not even allow the other woman a word in edge-wise. I am sure that was not her intent, but that is what I PERCIEVED. Already anti gunners probably saw worse.
I believe that from now on, Mr. Charlton Heston should be the primary speaker for our rights. He is articulate and believes in what he says. His ads are second to none in their portrayal of the honest, responsible gun owner. To me, he is high speed, low drag.
