When I proudly showed my dad the first AR I put together, his response was "Why the **** do you need something like that?" Pointing out the fact that functionally it was no different than the .308 he deer hunts with or the Rem 1100 he duck hunted with did little to change the mood. We no longer discuss guns .....or politics.
Ironically I just saw a list on another web site of all the archery companies that sell crossbows or crossbow accessories AND also support P&Y who refuses to allow crossbow kills in the or record books. Some have even worked to get crossbows removed from the archery seasons where they are allowed.
We often get the
NEED word thrown in our faces don't we ?
My answer to those people is this................
I do not have to justify
NEED of anything to anybody, especially to lying self serving politicians. If I
WANT an AR15 or a new 180mph motorcycle I will go out and buy one with
MY hard earned money.
NEED doesn't come into it !
People have to justify NEED to dictators like in North Korea or Syria, where you NEED a pair of shoes to walk to the factory to earn just enough money that you NEED to not starve to death.
China one child only, because you do not NEED more than one child.
Once we allow ourselves to be frogmarched down the "NEED ROAD" by politicians or anybody else where does it stop ?
Bloody hell NO............... STUFF THAT !!!!
We didn't fight two world wars to live in a country like that.
NEED.............................well BOLLOCKS to that. A British expression, look it up.
