Ok - this is a gun topic post - hope it is in the right area - All right - here we go:
I have heard to much bellyaching recently about guys who don't shoot the same kind of guns as you do; why does anyone need an AR-15, you're drawing to much attention, etc. Basically what I am saying is that some folks prefer to shoot only primitive weapons, some like black powder rifles, some like military surplus, etc. Here is the bottom line: We are all shooters and 2nd Amendment supporters. Guys who like Western Style Guns, will look at AR-15 Shooters and (sometimes) say..."I don't care if they seize his guns - they ain't coming after mine!" Well - the only reason they "ain't coming after yours" is because you're not on the Anti-Gun Nuts menu yet. The likes of SS Obengruppenfurher Schumer, Diane Feinstein , et al. consider so called "Assault Weapons" to only be the appetizer. Folks - once they get the appetizer - they're coming for more of the main course. That includes them all - six shooters, SASS, Flintlocks, revolvers, etc, etc. It is (1) the right thing to do to support anyone who uses any kind of lawful firearm in a legal manner - they are exercising their 2nd Amendment Rights & I believe you have a moral imperative to support their exercise of that right - just as you do for yourself- and (2) - you owe to yourself to try new and different things. Never fired a Flintlock or a Percussion Cap Musket/Rifle - be willing to give it a try - you might just like it! Same goes for folks who like so called "Primitive Firearms" - give an AR-15 or AK-47 clone a try, or perhaps an old Enfield SMLE or Springfield M1903. Last thing we need is fratricide and friendly fire casualties ! - as 2nd Amendment supporters - we are all on the same side regardless of the implement we use!
