The explosive gas propels the projectile along an elongated tube which directs the projectile motion forward, and if in a rifled-barrel, it is spin-stabilized for added accuracy.
motive, twenty-six in the Army with competition shooting and reloading in my younger days. It never surprised me at the number times people would show up with a hand-cannon to target shoot. I shouldn’t generalize but I would venture to state the lower self esteem an individual had at the range the more they would try and compenste with their “fire power”.
Or if you asked the founding fathers (google them since I’m sure you don’t know who they are) a firearm is something that protects people from the tyranny of an oppressive government.
HUMPHRIES - I was criticizing the cartoon, which like Jerry I think was better unsaid. I’m a psychologist, I don’t need to speculate about the substitute-manhood aspects of overdone gun ownership – I can specify the motivational drivers in question!
TGS, welcome back to the fray. Recovered from the election? And there’s a big difference between “A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the People to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed” and “I get to use an AK-47 to shoot deer.”
As long as they don’t do anything crazy, I have no problems with the rednecks stimulating the economy in their own way. Actually I was thinking of arming myself as you know the rightwing terrorists will be crawling out of the woodwork especially down here.
motivemagus. Your point is something to think over. My post was only an opinion made through observation not an absolute but I’m still comfortable with my opinion, for now, a person can always learn more.

DALLASDAN, oldlegodad is showing his rear end. Boy is still used by those trapped in 1952; Paris 44, what a laugh, French partisans didn’t lift a finger until the Germans had already vacated and the Americans were in the streets of Paris. Hungary 56, better read and see who set that up and flubbed it.
The purpose of a gun is to fire a bullet. What difference does the looks of the gun make? I say NO to gun control. If I think you have a gun on you, I just might treat you with a little more respect.

Know what a firearm is? Supplemental manhood.

Actually its an explosive-gas fired projectile weapon.

This seems like a remarkably nasty concept, and not in a good way.

Firearms for our founder fathers was a musket & ball… not a weapon that can fire 100 rounds in a few seconds.

TGS: plus, the founding fathers had to fight a war.
I agree with the supplemental manhood idea; I slept with a guy that owned three guns (believe me, he needed his supplement!)

oldlegodad71 states: “Tried to buy a 9mm carbine this week”
WHY?

TGS – seems to me Tim McVeigh claimed he was fighting against the tyranny of an oppressive gov’t. Be honest… he’s your hero isn’t he?
When is the last time a handgun was used to fight off an oppressive gov’t?

Dale_H - Troops in Iraq were supplied with real weapons, not cap and ball muskets. Guns = necessary fact of life, like Liberals!
