whoa dude, you can buy poor people guns if you want
Purely asinine.
With McCarthy and her ilk churning up bills in Congress we are in for some real trouble ahead. As gun owners, instead of creating factions, we need to stick together to ward off these assaults on the 2nd Amendment. When all is said and done we are going to lose, and it's going to happen because a small percentage of elitist snobs are willing to throw other gun owners under the bus. History repeats itself. And that elitist group won't care, after all, gun legislation shouldn't touch
them, they own the best of the best.
it is foolish to believe that all firearms are made equal and it's merely a matter of personal preference.
This statement is clearly true, but so is this one. It is foolish to think that only a select group of manufacturers make all the guns that are worth owning. I'm sure that S&W would love to have you believe this, but it is not true. And with improvements in technology one can expect that there will be a whole lot more inexpensive guns produced that will go bang every time when needed, and which meet their owner's need quite nicely.
In my experience, most of the people who deride budget-priced domestic and imported foriegn firearms have never actually fired any of them. Usually they own one or two high priced guns, and based on that alone they place themselves on top of the food chain. If that's not snobbery I don't know what is.
And in my experince with gun counter people, they'll snob all over a High Point or a Jennings, and then sell you a defective Colt just to get it out of the case. The morality qualifier doesn't wash with me.
I'm not saying that you have to buy the Hi Points, the Bersas or the Jimenez guns if you don't want to, only that for those that make that choice the snide implications that these folks are stupid, ignorant, or criminal is totally unwarranted.
Try using that warranty after the gun fails when you're using it to defend your life
More absurdity stated out of ignorance by someone whose greatest risk is probably falling out of his SUV. Come live in the working class a little while buddy.
After I bought my Sig 226, I proceeded to buy every milsurp handgun I could get, then started collecting "Saturday Night Specials", mostly because they are inexpensive and owning them is the best way I could think of to really piss off the anti-gun crowd. The way I see it, a Ring of Fire collection flies in the face of McCarthy and her dogs. And yes, I shoot them.....twice a week. After acquiring 18 assorted specimens from this class, I have found none that deserve all of the bad reputation that they have acquired. Only one, a "gunsmith special" I bought to tinker with, doesn't work well. Some need to be tinkered with, its true, but generally they can be made functional and reliable, and if one has to be armed, they will do. Are they Colts? Hell no! Are they functional and reliable? They can be, with a little effort and savvy.
Now back to my original statement: I don't see the point of this thread except to make one segment of the gun owning community feel superior to the others. We don't need that. The reality is that we need to stick together to fight for our 2nd Amendment rights,
and if we don't we will lose them.
Congratulations! You've won the award for the most absurd and patently false statement of the day!
