or

Just a place to argue with people you don't really like ?

I learned we all think for ourselves, some of us louder then others. Some topics are very important to some of us. That is why there is heated discussions. I have not been on here for years but enjoy it and learn from it. Remember opinions are like butts everyone has one.
yep, and some of them are nice, others not so much. Oddly enough the nicest ones are sometimes the naughty ones!:eek:

There was a older gentleman in his 80’s back in the 80’s who told me to remember 2 thing’s. Keep one thing in mind he never owned a phone (landline or cell) or a computer.

1) You don’t have to know what you are talking about, you just need to sound like you do...

2) God gave you 2 ears and 1 mouth for a reason.

Just thought I would share.

I learned about the scatter pattern of shot guns and that they can't really kill the same number of people as an AR-15 in the same period of time. It was enlightening.
Yes, they really can, and you haven't "learned" about them if your learning is limited to what you read on the internet.

A bolt action could kill as many or more as the Parkland shooter by simply taking the time to aim.

Too many continue to think the gun is the problem.

I think I have said enough on the shotgun spread issue. Was tying to keep it brief with just a bit of detail. Sort of like a link but done poorly it seems. I noticed someone made an effort to learn something new and just wanted to point out a direction to learn a bit more if it was of interest.
Message is out and no idea if it will make a difference in the world :)

Mine was a .22 bolt. Was 12 when I got it. Shortly thereafter I killed a Mockingbird. My father made me cook it and eat it because if you shoot it you have to eat it. No trophies. Ever. Its just the way he was and now I am too. But hey, Mockingbird does taste like chicken.

No, we have two ears and one mouth because of the evolutionary pathways that caused deuterostomes to develop. *facepalm*
I think it's because all those with the two mouths talked all the one eared people to death.
They themselves died out because they wouldn't shut up long enough to reproduce.

Sandy Hook was locked.

From Wikipedia

Lanza shot his way through a glass panel next to the locked front entrance doors of the school.
That teaches us it's stupid to have glass entryways if you want security.

I have 2 SBE IIs and love them. One is set up for regular waterfowl and the other for snow geese during the conservation order, long extended mag and some other work done to both. Never really tried seeing how fast I can go with it but I know they are fast.
It was a Benelli promo video where a factory rep threw 6 clay pigeons in the air all at once by hand and broke them all before any of the fired hulls hit the ground. I don't know if it was ever available to the public since I saw it when I was working at the gun shop and we were Benelli/HK dealers

I think it was Tom Knapp who hit 11 hand tossed clays with a Benelli wasn’t it? I can’t remember the guys name but someone with the Winchester sx3 beat him finally.
