WHY YOU WANT RAIL FOR KALASHNIKOV? IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH AS PROCURED FROM IZHEVSK MECHANICAL WORKS? YOU THINK NEEDS IMPROVEMENT? THEN MAYBE YOU FIND JOB WITH ARMY OF RUSSIA! YOU HAVE DRINKS WITH MIKHAIL KALASHNIKOV, TRADE STORY OF MANY WEAPONS DESIGNED AND DETAILS OF SCHOOL FOR ENGINEERING!

OR MAYBE YOU NOT DO THIS. PROBABLY IS BECAUSE YOU NEVER DESIGN WEAPON IN WHOLE LIFE. YOU LOOK AT FINE RUSSIAN RIFLE, THINK IT NEED CRAZY poo poo STICK ON ALL SIDES OF WEAPON. YOU HAVE DISEASE OF AMERICAN CAPITALIST, CHANGE THING THAT IS FINE FOR NO REASON EXCEPT TO LOOK DIFFERENT FROM COMRADE. YOU PUT CHEAP FLASHLIGHT OF CHINESE SLAVE FACTORY ON ONE SIDE, YOU PUT BAD SCOPE OF AMERICAN MIDDLE WEST ON OTHER SIDE, YOU PUT FRONT PISTOL GRIP ON BOTTOM SO YOU ARE LIKE AMERICAN MOVIE GUY JOHN RAMBO. MAYBE YOU PUT SEX DILDO ON TOP TO gently caress YOURSELF IN rear end in a top hat FOR MAKING SHAMEFUL TRAVESTY OF RIFLE OF MIKHAIL KALASHNIKOV, NO?

RIFLE IS FINE. YOU gently caress IT, IT ONLY GET HEAVY AND YOU STILL NO HIT LARGEST SIDE OF BARN. GO TO FIRING RANGE, PRACTICE WITH MANY MAGAZINE OF CARTRIDGE. THEN YOU NOT NEED DUMB poo poo PUT ON SIDE OF RIFLE.

There should be OSHA-style gun macros getting disseminated. Firearms are dangerous in the same way as rotating equipment but everyone knows not to sit a 3-year old next to a lathe.

If democrats advocated programs for gun safety education, would this also be touted as "taken are gons" legislation? I mean, is there anything anyone can do to sate the permanent bloodlust of gun owners for liberals?

Off hand, I know that Massachusetts has a mandatory NRA Certified firearms safety course if you wanted to get carded up. Could probably extrapolate from how legislation like that's received.


I remember Red Asphalt IV from Driver's Ed. It'd be hilarious to get something like that for gun owners. Probably do some good, too.

I was under the impression he was never tortured because his daddy was in charge of the navy. Is this incorrect?

No. He was captured and tortured. He did manage to crash several planes and keep flying because of family connections, though.

I think you're missing the greater point here, which is that he looks like a person trying to imitate what a celebration for a home run looks like.

Largely because he's a dishonest, disingenuous piece of poo poo.

I have no idea where you get this kind of faith in humanity but given the frequency teenagers (or older) do stupid poo poo like wear their hair long, and hanging out, while using machines is horrifically high. In middle school a kid a grade or two above my brother had their hair catch in a drill and it ripped out about a 1 inch diameter patch from their scalp. Needless to say by the time I had the class a few years later the teacher was very, very diligent about people tying up their hair and showing pictures of a drill press with hair and blood on it to those who did want to do so. :gonk:

So yes, give the diehard gun owners each a lathe and I have no doubt there will be some gruesome stories within the year.

It's believed that when they found out McCain's family connection, and thus value, they took extra care with him because regardless of what info he did or did not have he was going to be rather valuable alive. In 2008 when people thought it'd be McCain vs Hilary there was a lot of huffing(of glue) on the right and Talk Radio about how Clinton had dug up dirt on him to paint him as selling out the country as a POW or whatever. You know, something that certainly would not have a chance at backfiring horribly because holy poo poo are you seriously attacking a political opponent for being tortured by the Viet Cong?

Well, there were groups that shamelessly attacked Kerry along the lines of his service in 2004. Perhaps in 2008 it was the same people who just assumed it was totally normal to go after someone for their service, not realizing they are wretched pieces of poo poo to do so?

John McCain was refused life saving medical care until it was known that he was the son of an admiral. He was given the option to be released early due to his family connections and refused to leave sooner than any man captured before him.
