[QUOTE="Blue Heeler, post: 3489647, member: 46613"] Great read. Thanks for resharing! I bought my M1A Scout for my fiftieth birthday back in 2007 prior to the 2008 election. My thought was that a pathetically weak RINO like McCain would not beat Clinton and that I may not get a chance to own one of the guns I had dreamed about owning since I was a child. Had a toy one growing up that along with a Mattel “Thompson” was my favorite. Prior to getting my M1A, I never thought I had the need for a semi-auto rifle. I have plenty of bolt action guns and a Winchester 94 Trapper in 44 magnum (the original CAR ... Cowboy Assault Rifle). The fear of the election helped “want” overcame “need” and I got the M1A. Probably the most fun to shoot rifle I own. I had a scope on mine then went to a 2X Aimpoint. Have an EOTech on it now. Anything I can see I can hit. Also have a Bradley Cheek Rest ... highly recommend. We could well “flounder” on our right to keep and bear arms especially if we don’t pick up one of the two Senate seats in GA. That said, the anti-gun left always say how they will get “tough” on guns but they have not. They had eight years of B HO and with that, had both the House and Senate for almost two full years and did nothing. Possibly because they realize what a loser argument it is for them politically. This time could be different. In regard to Switzerland, they do have a high per capita of gun ownership with a relatively low gun crime. The reason for that is not that they have a lot of guns but that in their culture, they don’t shoot people for tennis shoes. On the flip side, the anti-gun-rights ilk will always come back to sell how strict gun laws work in Japan. But like many who are “progressively challenged” (liberals with special needs), they slept through Statistics in college and seem to think that correlation implies causation. The gun laws in Japan are not responsible for their low gun crime rates. It is their culture. Japan had low gun crime rates prior to any gun laws on the books. Your point on gun crime rates in zipcodes with strict gun laws is spot on ... but the liberal politicians will never fix it because to do that, they would have to reverse decades of failed (liberal) socio-economic policies that have hurt the inner city. They would also have to point out that the inner cities need to get their ____ (fill in the blank) together and quit killing each other. Fixing the problem would cost them votes so they will continue to blame the gun. [/QUOTE]
