There will always be complete dumbasses in all walks of life. It's sad 90% of the population has to modify their lives to suit the 10% of dumbasses in this country. http://www.military.com/video/ammunition-and-explosives/grenades/female-soldier-grenade-toss-fail/2371792239001/ When the NRA stops enabling the dumbasses, then maybe the 90% will be left alone....

They stopped getting our support years ago when they only supported the GFS in the fringe right GOP. All their youth programs.... all the good things they did in the past... has been tainted by following a path of the GFS.I do not see that changing anytime soon.

I'd say "for the Marines" would be a better argument in this case. ==== Civilian guards ordered to leave shopping center after one accidentally fires rifle By Mary Beth Lane The Columbus Dispatch, Ohio Published: July 24, 2015 LANCASTER, Ohio (Tribune News Service) — The armed civilians who have been guarding a military recruitment center here are gone, ordered off the property after one of them accidentally discharged his rifle on Thursday. No one was injured. . . . . The Army has warned its recruiters to treat the gun-toting civilians gathering at centers across the country in the wake of the Chattanooga, Tenn., shooting as a security threat. ===== http://www.stripes.com/news/us/civilian-guards-ordered-to-leave-shopping-center-after-one-accidentally-fires-rifle-1.359517 That shot a hole in the "good guy with a gun" theory. From what we read right here from SC's gun enthusiasts, it would appear that the very fact of owning a gun leads to an inflated sense of the owner's tactical skills. Hold my beer and watch this. Don't worry, 'snot loaded... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
