Guns?

[crashbandicoot]

I worked for Bo Clercke for a coupla' Years(Google Him)..I'm a Pacifist,And would share the Break Table with him and his Buddys/admireers that dropped by who were down at the NRA Range in New Mexico,We were located not far North(Raton,NM)...I listend to their Crap/Bravado and bit my Tongue. ...stoneshirt.

I didn,t have to Google Bo Clerke,proper spelling is Clerke. Any one in the shooting world knows who Clerke is.Why would you subject yourself to a coupla years of tongue biting to work for someone you didn,t like?

OK..................................................

OK as in?

I don't care who you've worked for. Irrelevant to the suggestion that you go to a range and start shooting, if you want to understand people who like guns. Sounds like you don't like people who like Bo Clercke instead.

I don't like Drunks,ether.So maybe I should go and rub Elbows with them and "understand" them.?

Man,you,re going in circles here. If you,d ever actually associated with shooters as a group of people,you,d know that they,re the most friendly and calm of people,hardly full of anger. Don,t know what your angle is.

Years ago before they had their own detector I detected a few crime scenes for the local small towns. Found the guns that solved A couple of shootings, and found the evidence that solved a multi state catalytic converter theft ring. That was always interesting!

False analogy. No one is talking about rubbing elbows with anyone. My suggestion was not to go rub elbows with people who shoot guns. It was to go to a range and shoot guns. It would be helpful for you if you are honest about wanting to understand people who like guns.

Just trying to understand you.

You do realize that not just "gun nuts or war-dogs", but people from all sides of the political spectrum, own and enjoy firearms? I know the media and politicians try to polarize and make it a partisan divisive issue, but for the average American, it's not.

Don't know about anyone else, but it's not the thrill of firing the weapon... it's the thrill of hitting where you aimed. It's the thrill of competency, of knowledge, of being able to do...

It is "war-dogs" who gave us our freedoms and country and it is "war-dogs" who protect and defend our freedoms and our country.

If you are in an urban setting and discover a firearm, it is a good idea to give it to the cops. And tell them you want it back after they find it is 'clean'. Otherwise they may destroy it, keep it or sell it.
Maybe 30 years ago I read about a guy in California who found a .22 H&R revolver a couple inches deep in his yard. It was the weapon used to kill 2 cops back in the '50s. They were able to trace it to the killer, who was a successful grandfather. They identified him by a .38 bullet fired by one of the dying cops which was still in his back. He was very surprised when they arrested him!

If that was true that it is the thrill of hitting where you aim, then my firearm friends who also own adult air rifles which are amazing at hitting on top of the last hole, on my 60 yard airgun range, wouldn't sneer about accuracy with my airguns.

No, there has to be something to that loud blast. I grew up shooting firearms but it is far more challenging to punch tiny holes at 60 yards with a non firearm. It takes a whole lot more talent than with firearms, and tons more full body control. A LOT MORE!

I have a nice AR15, it is special at 100 yards, back when I sighted it in years ago at least. I can't shoot that firearm here though. I did have my springer "airgun talent" I used with the AR when sighting it in, and the AR was built for accuracy.

I honestly believe there is really a lot of enjoyment FA people gets from the loud bang in their hands. Addictive. Jmho

Numbers do reflect reality, unless you're incapable of understanding them.
