Hube, where did you read in this thread that kids are going without food?
Because I didn't read that anywhere here. You'll have to point that out to me, really.
I'll save you the search time. Nowhere did it say that owners of high-dollar handguns were neglecting their financial responsibilities to their families in lieu of firearm purchases.
Nowhere. You pulled that one out of an orifice.
I have many high-dollar guns, and you know what? I made do with an old sporterized Mauser and a LE turn-in S&W Model 19 revolver for years, until I could afford some of the finer things. I've sold many guns to purchase others. My wife's got a nice rock on her ring finger. Nobody goes hungry at our house. Honest.
Now, if somebody's gonna start a thread and start calling people fools for buying high-dollar handguns, they'd better be prepared to endure the heat for saying so.
And if your own Valtro purchase got shut down because your cupboards have nothing but Ramen Noodles, and your wife said the kids need braces, that's not the fault of gun owners on THR, so don't take it out on them. That's weak, at best, and smacks of something.
Speaking of Bose, we used to joke:
If you own Bose, then hold your nose
and test your ears as well.
For when you get your hearing back
you’ll know they’re not too swell.
You’ve got 12 bucks of paper cones
and a flismy cardboard box --
not enough to be bare bones,
much less to say “It rocks!â€
No top, no bass, just muddy noise
and cabinet resonance too.
It’s clear now that the K-Mart boys
gave you a royal screw.
Why buy Paradigm or Energy, B&W or NHT
when you can shell out twice as much
for Taiwan quality?
But be indignant; tell yourself
you don’t really think it sucks.
(what else can you do after flushing 600 bucks?)
You know as much as all us snobs
who put your purchase down.
Cuz now you is an awdeohfyle
with direct reflecting sound!
