Hey! It's been too long.

Hey! 1.7 million kids live in homes with loaded guns! I think I'm supposed to be upset at that. I'll be upset if they are improperly stored loaded guns... otherwise, welcome to my world!

My son grew up in a house with guns. Lots of 'em. And not one shot was fired in the house! Whew! Dodged a bullet there, eh? Just dumb luck, I'm sure.

I originally started blogging about guns and gun collecting. Of course, when I saw all the people who did that so much better than I, I switched to politics. Boy, was that a bad idea. So, I drifted into general military stuff.

But by golly, it's been too long since the collection made an appearance!

So, how about the pistols?

There. I feel better now. Except, I need to add a new one!

Gee - it does my heart good to see gun pics ... but I'm just one of those gray sheepdogs in training!

1.7 million kids. Huh. Anybody know how many police, constables, sheriff's deputies, hiway patrol, state troopers, etc. there are in the US?

How cuuuute is dat diddle baaaybeee above the Broomhandled Mauser. Never heard of Gun Pr0n and baby pictures going together, but in a strange twisted way, they do.

Ah John...everytime you show that Inglis Browning with the stock on it...I get sad at seeing it in American captivity.

Oh, and Paul - it has a warm and appreciative home, where it is prominently displayed...

You wouldn't happen to have a Liberator in there anywhere would you?
   
By Neffi on September 7, 2005 7:18 PM
er, umm... I did mean to say Steyr-Hahn rather than Roth Steyr. YOU knew what I meant... heh

Neffi - no, it's a Spanish Army Astra, in 9mm Largo. And Boq - that Webley .25 was captured from a German officer in Normandy, who was also carrying the Steyr pistol (which is Austrian miltary, not one of the SA or Police issues). And he'd taken the Webley from a prisoner at Dieppe.

THe inlaws are in town. Can I borrow something? I want them to leave, fast.

A man and his family can never have enough guns. Kids need to qualify on at least one and familiarize with the rest. And of course learn how to clean, and care for these jewels! But most importantly they need to be comfortable with and understand how to tell the difference tween a toy and a weapon and what one never plays with. Those who fail to teach their tykes, do so at their peril.

I love pistals, but, I like to be able to fire all my guns in one trip to the range. You couldn't shoot all those in a week of sundays! When You have more guns around than you can shoot in one day, you have a problem. I am not a liberal, or a pinko, (I am a libertarian) but might I suggest a corrective surgery on your dick instead of all these substitutes? LOL. Nice collection, but too many pistols.

Demonstrating a complete lack of understanding as to why I have them. There isn't a *new* weapon in there... the most recent manufactures would be the Polish Tokarev and the Soviet Makarov. That's history sitting on the table, fella. Not home defense. You simply have waaaaay too narrow a view. I've got over 100 rifles, too, bubba. Then there's the machine guns and mortars and recoiless rifles. As for your silly psychoanalysis... #82.

...and The Armorer whips out the 'big gun'... Attaboy, John- you'd think any maroon could tell a collection when they see it.

As a character said in a Tom Clancy novel: "Your ji-ji isn't big enough for you to get into a pissing match with us."

Men! Gotta love 'em... ;)

My first thought when I saw the headline about 1.7 million children live in homes with a gun was that that's 1.7 million kids who don't have to worry about kidnappers or Michael Jackson.
