what's the issue with this photo..( apart from having there booger hooks on the bang switch ) just a couple of blokes enjoying a gun shop and getting a photo..
well you would think...
-
The eighties want their Members Only jacket back?
-
Well, the inset might be where we should look.
It is not the highest quality, but it appears to me that the guy in the black jacket has no thumb going over the top of the black pistol he is holding, but might have one at the bottom of that hand..mostly out of sight.
There also appears like there might be some other part of a finger under what should be his index finger on that hand.....
Can't tell what is in his other hand...looks silver and might be a gun.
WAIT!!! Isn't that Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid? Something is terribly wrong here....
-
Kid on the right looks like a young John Elway!

You can find anything on Google
Here was the search I used photo of two guys holding two guns in gun shop
(CNN) -- Two Australian Olympic swimmers who posted pictures on Facebook of themselves brandishing weapons have been ordered to take them down by the country's swimming authorities.

well done solus

How dare they pose with evil guns! I'm shocked. Shocked I tell you. ::)
-
It is best to lock them up now, before they can act out their murderous thoughts. It's for the children.
-
Now there's a thought.. "The Swimming Authorities"..

We were shooting through a course of fire at a USPSA competition today when I found out the turtle targets (look like a stop sign) are used by IPSC because in some countries (Canada was mentioned) you can't shoot a human shaped target ::) ??? :o
I feel sorry for these people in other countries to a point but at the same time they have a problem they need to deal with (had an discussion at school over illegals and I made the same point).
-
Nah.. The shooting team would draw the same sort of flak for playing with and/or posing with fish.. ::)

Most countries controlled by a Monarch have strict gun laws. Australia and Canada still answer to the British throne...eventually, butter knives will be outlawed in England!

Citizens are "free", they are responsible for themselves and their own safety and therefore need weaponry.
Subjects are the property of the govt which assumes responsibility for their defense.
They, therefore have no right to employ "force" or to posses weapons.

You don't have to go to other countries for that. IIRC, there's a state or two where it's illegal to shoot at human shaped targets, even if they're only silhouettes. I think I remembered hearing that Massachusetts was one of them.

Yes, there's a law banning "human" paper targets in MA somewhere but I can't find it. IDPA targets are "human" silhouettes and we shoot them all the time. I suspect it's one of those laws that exists but isn't enforced. The half dozen ranges I've used around here are pretty laid back, self regulated and very responsible. I've never seen any Deputy Dogs checking up on us....
Found it...General Law 140.131 excerpt "Such club shall not permit shooting at targets that depict human figures, human effigies, human silhouettes or any human images thereof, except by public safety personnel performing in line with their official duties."

So you can shoot at real humans then?
What about freedom of speech? If the libtards can burn a flag I should be able to shoot a target of them burning a flag... ;D

It happens quite frequently. We've had a dozen self defense shootings in the last few years. Some you hear about, some you don't! Most news programs focus on the gangbanger shootings in and around Boston, Worcester and Springfield and the "evil" guns that are doing all the shootings. They sentence the gun to death and let the perpetrators sire a few more bastard children!
The Gangbangers "Circle of Life!" ::)

Cool

It's been a number of years ago now but I remember, (I think under Romney, maybe earlier) that the national Guard wasn't allowed to train with dummy grenades. The story said they were using pine cones..
