16. I pretty much dial out all GD posts on guns

A whole lot of foaming at the mouth and ignorance on display, coupled with a mob mentality for the gun controllers that can't seem to accomplish anything in the real world. They get their jollies from a hide or a ban I guess.

If they ever actually start to accomplish anything, besides their impotent venting online, I may start to worry about their influence. Until then, meh?

They seem to want to use every criminal that uses a gun as an excuse to bash gun owners in general, and specifically all of us, every chance they get. We even have a new "drive by" post here trying to do the same thing with the criminal who shot the cops with an illegal "assault weapon" in "AWB" California, the gun controllers nirvana. These posts really belong in the Crime Forum, but then no one would see how terribly clever they are.

I'd rather let most of those posts just sink on their own without any response from us.

Kind of like Castle Bansalot, that can easily go for a week with no posts. Wait, let me correct that, they do post cartoons often the same ones over and over, as their version of intelligent discussion.

Today, while they whine and pout I'm heading for our local range for "Sighting In Day". $10 per gun, targets provided with a gunsmith on premise to do any fine adjustments. It's a perfect, clear day for the range with temps in the upper 60's predicted. I have a Savage in 30.06, a Ruger GP100 (6 inch barrel) and a .50 Hawken style muzzle loader to go play with in the real world. You kids play nice with the grabbers while I'm out.
