Good video, but I don't care. I still love my Mosies!

There must be an end to this intimidation by those who come to this great country, but reject its culture.

...even before I read MHI, my response to seeing a poster for the stars of the latest Twilight movies was "I see 2 targets and a collaborator".

Oh, noes! I'm so deeply offended!

Honestly, after having the AUG for like 18 hours, I was glad to trade up for the Tavor. About the only thing I miss is the quick-removable barrel.

If I ever win the Powerball, a full auto Thompson, complete with gangster grips, Cutts compensator and drum mag, would still be on the top of my list. 8-)

It's a helluva lot of fun taking a newb to the range and firing a Mosin carbine at dusk.

My SIL has a MN carbine, and the first time he shot it, we were almost out of shooting light, but he just wanted to try it once.

I was at the other end of the shooting line, and when he touched it off, my first thought was "Holy Sh*t, they've nuked Birmingham!"

I still like mine, too, though I may not quite achieve fanboi status.

You have to give this guy props for style.
Note to self: start reading sig lines. They're actually quite amusing. :D
