I was wondering how old that article was on the BFR. I finally found it at the bottom of the well written article, 2008. Almost makes me want to go out and buy one myself. If I had the money.

I would want to rebut; would a federal law on assault lawyers reduce crime? Let’s pass a law and find out.

Ouch

I guess they found out. Nope.

Would a federal law on embezzlement reduce embezzlement? (Nope. Still happens.)

Would a federal law on bank robbery reduce bank robbery? (Nope. They’re up.)

Would a federal law on tax evasion reduce tax evasion? (Oh, hell, no.)

Hey I noticed a trend in all of this: I see a lot of people attacking others or being attacked in Hoodies!
We need a law to ban hoodies, so that no one will ever get hurt again. How many lives would be saved if no one can wear a hoodie to commit a crime? If criminals are not allowed to disguise their appearance by simply putting their hood up, they will think twice about doing such crimes.

How about a constitutional amendment against unconstitutional laws…
I doubt Mrs. Fitzgerald would read that either.

Let’s ban crime!

Let’s not forget that Nanny Lugosi said “We need to hurry up and pass this Bill so we can find out what’s in it.” before passing 0bamacare and look at what THAT gave everyone!

Can further wonder if a federal ban on idiots would reduce dumbassery. Let’s pass that law.

Very nice person portable hand cannon. Big Frame Revolver my Aunt Patootie. Boss to R&D…”Boys y’all need to build a big f^cking revolver!” R&D to Boss…”We can do it but we can’t call it that.”

I want one!

Ex, see my comment on Monday’s FGS. May explain that.

My main man! Only way we can show how much we appreciate what you do. I put a lot of laughs…err..thoughts into my Monday comment. Mention me to the Mrs. Heard from AnotherPat lately? ’bout time for the Tide to Roll. AP and Mama’s oldest son (he’s too heavy to be my Brother) would get along. He’s one of them.

I’ll just leave this here. GO ARMY BEAT NAVY!!!!!!!!

Sometimes, the crims simply don’t drop to the pavement. That’s life.

Anyone out there own Police Positive Colt .38 wheel guns which I mentioned in the past which were used where I worked????

Wonder what kind of accuracy he could have achieved with heavier weight bullets around 400 grains, that 16″ twist is pretty fast for a larger caliber.

11B-Mailclerk

My idea of a BFR is a Colt Dragoon.

Then again, I still have some “+P Magnum .45” Cor-Bon ammo (the old blue and white box stuff) that drives a 300 grain softpoint at about 1350fps from a 7.5 inch Ruger. A little light for Dinos, but OK for anything else on the NA continent out of a Winchester 94.

Shhh. Be vewy quiet. We awe hunting waptors!
