This is not Christian reading, but it makes my point about those who hold respect for Ted Nugent.
And this has what, exactly, to do with the discussion???

Regarding the OP, I learned a very long time ago that if I want to wind-up an American (as I run for cover) just mention them giving up their guns. :p LOL

From Snopes....

Questioned about that account some thirty years later (by which time Nugent was known as a staunch political conservative, a supporter of the Republican Party, and an advocate of hunting and gun ownership rights) in an interview with the UK’s Independent newspaper, Nugent disclaimed that previous account of his draft-evading activities as story he had made up and fed to a gullible High Times reporter and asserted that he actually had avoided the draft through the legitimate means of a student deferment:
He has the rage, but he doesn’t have the war record. At 18, he was called up to serve in Vietnam. “In 1977 you gave an interview to High Times [the cannabis user’s journal of record] where you claimed you defecated in your clothes to avoid the draft.”
“I never **** my pants to get out of the draft,” says Nugent, good-naturedly.
“You also told them you took crystal meth before the medical — as a result of which, and I quote: ‘I got this big juicy 4F.'”
“Unbelievable. Meth,” he replies, in a tone of deep sarcasm. “Yes, that’s my drug of choice. You’ve got to realise that these interviewers would arrive with glazed eyes and I would make stories up. I never did crystal meth. And I never pooped my pants.”
“But you did dodge the draft.”
“I had a 1Y [student deferment]. I enrolled at Oakland Community College.”
“You said then that you wanted ‘to teach the stupid bastards in the military a lesson’. I’d have thought you’d have loved the army. Guns. Travel. Danger.”
“Back then, I didn’t even understand what World War II was.”
“So basically,” — I admit that I have, unaccountably, started to speak Nugent — “you didn’t want to get your Michigan ass blown off in Vietnam.”
“Correct. I did not want to get my ass blown off in Vietnam.”​

Naw..... you "subjects" can mention it all you want...cry about it, moan about it... water off a duck's back....

It's only when you get serious about trying to take away the rights of us "citizens" that we get irate. You know, the old Charlton Heston "cold dead hands" thing..... that's for real, Nigel...:)

At least we don't have to run for cover if we hear Allahu Ackhbar ;)

I don't get it. Why is it so important to some that Americans ban guns? It's the land of the free, this is what people fled Europe for, not to bring some shady, European dictator that would ban everything directly after arriving. Good grief.

I know, right? Do you realize the right to bear arms is the only right that it specifically states it SHALL NOT be infringed? I think it has been plenty "infringed" already.

Same here, were I French, Danish, etc, I would just take it as an American distinctive and leave it at that.

A Baby, a bath tub, and some booze

Des setting at home one summer eve
Just minding his P's and Q's
When he heard a rap upon his door
He opened the door to find a surprise
A baby was given to him from some guy named Steve

Well, seeing I like waterboarding babies,
This is the most pleasant surprise,
Was the thought that came from his twisted mind.
I am home alone and nothing to do,
But I have a baby, a bath tub, and some booze.

He goes to the bathroom
And turns on the water
A ghastly surprise when he realized
He had not paid the water bill
The money that should have been paid to the water company
Had been wasted on his neighbor's daughter.

The wheels in his mind began to slowly turn
They had not been turned in oh so long
I have this baby, and no water around
Was the thought that came from his twisted mind
I'll buy some liquor from the store down town

So he goes and buys the booze
Then pours it in the tub
Takes the baby and drops it in
As it goes under the booze, you could here 'ploop'
The only baby in the world
That's now 100 proof

WORD!!!

Those drunken bums

Getting back to guns, does anyone here work with Ruger revolvers? What is your favorite?
S&W 686 has been mine but I have resisted Ruger revolvers for some reason, just started with S&W and never made the jump.
4" minimum barrel length, 38-357 or 38 alone, target, plinking and small game hunting.
best wishes

Currently, I only have a Smith mod 64, 4". I have owned a GP100 in the past, and wouldn't mind having one again. It's a solid, accurate shooter. The action was not quite as "slick" (for lack of a better term) than my Smith, but it certainly was not rough.

My dream would be to find a 3" Speed Six in stainless for around $300 or so... bucket list.
