Most of the local ranges require lead free ammo for practice, and a lot require you only buy their ammo to make sure it is. As it was implied I should buy more than one box that is a heck of a lot of practice, if it had of been lead free.

Re: Oregon incident.
 

No lead free requirement where I am and certainly no requirement I have come across to buy ammo at the range.

Now my local outdoor one is a couple of miles away and there is usually no one there but the ones on the front range I have been to have not had those requirements.

I tend to be careful with my practice, but have seen many who just seem to love pulling the trigger as fast as they can so I can see 1000 would not last that long.

I probably have 1000 .22LR and would have no compunction buying a bucket at the right price. Rifle ammo at a buck plus each different situation.

I do actually know some Democrats in real life...besides on this site. Some of them are even friends of mine. This being Pennsylvania, hunting is very popular and lots of Democrats like their guns too. But, of course, only Republicans are stupid bitter clingers.

Anyway, your dream candidate, Hillary, is all in on gun control (reversing her stance from 2008) and will make it one of her top wedge issues, along with the ever-trusty "Republican War on Women" and that Republicans are racist homophobe, nativist, etc, etc. So we'll have our "War on Guns." That should delight 98.7% of the good folks on this thread.

We'll see how that plays out for the woman who also claims she's the most transparent politician in American history. (there's no emoticon to show gagging)

Do you make straw man arguments because you don't have good rebuttals, or do you lack the reading comprehension to understand what was said?

You have just proven his point:rofl:

Before you horned in, I was kidding around with Boiler, who had been jabbed by the Sultan. I need to make it my business to ignore you as you are incapable of either exhibiting a sense of humour, or responding to another poster with whom you disagree, without either belittling or insulting them or both.

Tennessee boy allegedly kills girl in dispute over puppies: 'It's a sad, sad situation' | US news | The Guardian

Another in the sad trail of dead kids - will the boy's father be prosecuted for leaving his shotgun around? Seems to me there is a case for manslaughter.

Re: Oregon incident.
 

This could have turned out differently if only the girl had been armed.

Re: Oregon incident.
 

And?

Wasn't the dad on some news channel questioning how he was able to get hold of 13 guns in the first place? From what I have read in here, the mother sounds a right nutter.

Saw that one on the news this morning. Shot dead over a ****ing puppy. I'd love to see how the anti regulation crowd excuse this one ...

Re: Oregon incident.
 

I'm sure it will go something like "If he hadn't used a gun, he would have used a knife, so it is pointless regulating guns in any way."

These people can't even get behind laws for safe storage of deadly weapons when there are children in the house. Letting you own kids shoot themselves due to your negligence is one thing, letting them kill neighbour children is just a tragedy.

Re: Oregon incident.
 

As if killing a little girl because she wouldn't let you see her pets isn't even the issue here. Oh no, someone might want to make you store your guns safely - now we can't have that.

Generally I really do like it here, but honestly, **** this place sometimes. Just **** it.

Re: Oregon incident.
 

Then there's that Mom in Chester, PA who was arrested for injecting her 14 year-old daughter with numerous doses of heroin for the past month. I tend to agree with you about this place, but where could we go that would be better? Canada comes to mind, maybe New Zealand, but neither is taking immigrants that can't make major investments in their economy.

Re: Oregon incident.
 

I'm not saying I want to leave or anything, just sometimes I get annoyed with the sheer bloody-mindedness of this country when it comes to evolving, or any hint of the need to bring itself into the 21st century with the rest of the world. I'm certainly not the kind of pussy who runs away from a place just because it's a bit dangerous. I'm actually not in the least bit worried about being shot, ever. I do find it ridiculous that a great many of the population seem to be OK with the fact that it happens on such a large scale, and simply see it as a side-effect of 'muh freedom', a bit of collateral damage if you will.

Getting serious now, that poor girl's parents are going to be beyond inconsolable. What harm would getting smart about gun ownership even do? How much more important is a person's gun to them than that girl was to her parents? Christ, even my Taylor isn't that important to me and I love that thing like it came out of me.
