(LAUGHING!) Can there be a Moron Monday at FTTWR?
The first time I shot a gun, an M4 assault rifle, I didn’t want to pick it up — I was scared of the unexpectedly giant death machine I’d agreed to shoot with. As it happens, I probablyshouldn’t have picked it up — a stray shell casing burned my leg and left a bullet-shaped scar, along with a story that has gotten me through many a bad date. But pick it up I did, and goddamn, was it fun. I felt so cool, the metal in my hands, my eye on the target, the little red light telling me exactly where to shoot so I felt like a crack shot even though I was hitting the target only because that little red light was telling me exactly where to shoot. Go ahead. Make my day.
Annie, get your single-shot musket and dueling pistol.
It’s no wonder people love guns. They make you feel like a superhero — or a ruthless villain. Nearly 300 people have died in U.S. mass shootings so far this year, according to the nonpartisan Gun Violence Archive, and most of those deaths involved weapons the country’s founders could never have imagined: automatic and semi-automatic ones. It’s time to rethink all this, starting with what the founders would have wanted: Let’s honor the Second Amendment in all its glory and agree that the right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed, so long as the arms in question were in use in 1791, the year the Bill of Rights was ratified. That’s right: Annie, get your single-shot musket and your dueling pistol.
Revolution-era muskets were accurate at 50 meters and held only one round — meaning getting off three to four rounds a minute was ambitious, but possible. Compare that with an AR-15, which fires 45 rounds per minute and is accurate at 10 times the range of a musket. As it turns out, plenty of people still love shooting muzzle-loaders. Among them is Dennis Glazener, who operates AmericanLongrifles.org. He describes the experience of shouldering the rifle and hearing the powder ignite; his belief is that the guns help him connect to history and to his North Carolina ancestors, who were gunmakers. “[It] gives a better idea of what our forefathers had to use to keep food on the table and to keep their families safe,” he says.
Alas, the antique-gun enthusiasts I spoke to emphatically do not think muzzle-loaders should be the only game in town. “That’s got to be the most dim-witted argument I’ve ever heard,” says historical re-enactor Jim Daniel. He points out that the First Amendment doesn’t apply only to the technologies available in the 18th century, so why should the second? Indeed, gun-rights advocates like to insist that the founders would of coursehave foreseen the technological advances that brought us the semi-automatics and automatics, and probably even weapons of mass destruction. Meanwhile, Glazener points out that there’s no way to put the bullet back in the gun on modern technology. A black market could easily pop up for super-accurate modern guns even if law-abiding gun enthusiasts were forced to stick to muskets.
And, of course, our amendment of the Second Amendment would make it difficult for all those civilians with guns trying to stop mass shootings — which does occasionally happen. Five of 160 mass shootings cataloged by the FBI between 2000 and 2013 saw an armed non-officer open fire on a shooter in defense. However, given that 21 of those shootings were stopped by unarmed civilians — again, according to the FBI — maybe the muskets wouldn’t make a difference.

Do note that I went to the site “commie yahoo news” and it doesn’t seem like a joke, there is NO author listed. So the “guy” than says this “As it happens, I probablyshouldn’t have picked it up — a stray shell casing burned my leg and left a bullet-shaped scar, along with a story that has gotten me through many a bad date. ” is a do declare a pole smoking faggot who loves the zio Jew cock in his mouth. People read this and think wow this is scary guns are bad. What ARE WE WAITING FOR.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! Wow.
You’re right, Cleatus. I am surprised this sword swallower put it out of his hands long enough to type this rubbish! Maybe he dic-tated it?
Did I miss something, this article made almost zero sense, I thought the article would continue into some sort of quasi intellectual determination as to why the author believes such as the title indicates…yet, alas, it f’kn ended…
At least he did include the idea about how the first amendment is not applying to only quill and parchment….in our modern age….
but these fruitcakes keep forgetting the most simple thing about liberty and freedom, The f’kn Government, nor a piece of writing on paper gives me a f’kn thing….and has no authority over me and my own…
Since these Democracy loving commie retards think the people need to follow the governance that we are assumed to have given consent to, when we rise up and dispel this criminal system, we can pass a new law that will provide us with the Sovereign right to have the first night in bed with their wives….on their wedding day….
Now where have I heard that one before..:) oh, and if we can start the revolution with Butter knives if need be, then a flintlock and musket, is just fine with me….stupid f’ks….
“a stray shell casing burned my leg and left a bullet-shaped scar”
Was the shell so hot it stuck to his leg and sat there long enough to give him a scar, “a bullet-shaped scar” none the less?
“and most of those deaths involved weapons the country’s founders could never have imagined”
as they left it wide open to “the right to bear arms shall not be infringed” they obviously considered all forms of arms in the future.
the second amend is to keep an evil gov in check first & foremost – if the gov has the arms so should the people
there is a reason it is written in such a basic way, to prevent evil bastages (like the winner who wrote the “article”) from reading far more into the @a than it’s clear and obvious intent
Cleatus, and Martist.
You two got me laughing so effin hard! Beer came out my friggin nose! Had to walk away!
Thanks 🙂
I was thinking the same. Not Pina Colada. Penis Alotta!
HA! NO, Thank YOU Hal Apeeno for submitting this!
It’s a damn shame the shooting war isn’t going to involve such a pink platoon of faeries like “him”. It will unfortunately be against those who believe steadfastly in what they’ve been brainwashed in boot, basic, blue-line and bs into believing by zionist msm.
In the meantime, it’s good to have a chuckle or three at pundits like this who enjoy a good game of gobble-cock at times other than Thanksgiving. There’s always a wiener and a prize in the end!
Agreed. It’s gonna be a mess. Our posterity will have a chance again! A good sense of humor is key to what we must do!
By the way.
I’d be happy to slap the bastard with my gloves and offer up the dueling pistols!
ROLMFAO!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
I would expect nothing less from Yahoo news. After all, they created software to retrieve our emails and give them to the NSA. I’m 100% safe in believing whatever they say.

Wow….nice Commie twist. It amazes me it took you this long to find ONE gun statistic to twist for your Commie agenda.
