    if I did buy one, it wouldn’t be out of fear of brown people paragliding into my house. It would be out of fear of white fascist Republicans breaking down my front door.

    As a Portland resident, that’s a logical fear:

    Members of any at risk group should consider being armed. The police aren’t there to protect you and there have been court cases which ruled they have no obligation to do so.

    “In a 7–2 opinion, the Supreme Court ruled that due process principles did not create a constitutional right to police protection, despite the existence of a court-issued restraining order.”

      One thing I know, every liberal gun owner is a marksman. They’ve trained with their firearms and know them fifty times better than a Conservative does.

          7.62-MM M14 with a walnut stock. Trained with it during my military days but I didn’t take it on deployment. I was stuck with the M16A2 in Afghanistan and M4 carbine in Iraq.

            I had someone not believe me when I told them they still issued M16s in Iraq and Afghanistan.

            “Wikipedia told me they switched to the M4 entirely!?!?”

            Yeah, okay bud, just like they’re going to be using nothing but the M5 in another decade.

            Or two…

            Or three.

            I bet you could get issued a M1 under the right circumstances.

              People who don’t know how deep military warehouses go. Wouldn’t surprise me if there weren’t some WWI field phones floating around somewhere.

              Isn’t the Army still issuing M1903s? With warehouses like that, they’ll never fully modernize!

            Nice! Mine’s a Henry in .45-70 Government. Good for most big game in North America. Marlin briefly had theirs rated for T-Rex as a cross promo for Jurassic World. LOL.

          Is this gun tiny or is this table enormous?

            Oh, it’s a big damn table. LOL.

            It’s a normal sized rifle, it’s not a cannon or anything. Spec sheet has it at 38.1" (96.77cm) with a 19.8" (50.3cm) barrel. Weighs just over 7 pounds unloaded.
