News Article from the Brokton Enterprise

Was looking around the NRA site and came across this article. Was suprised that it wasn't as bad as they could have made it.

If this has been posted, my bad and beg the moderators to be gentle, I'm a fragile little thing.

You can't say 'Oh, I want to join the club because it only costs two bucks for a beer,' or you can smoke cigarettes (inside)."

You can't but it is a nice benefit.

ustin Kelly, 19, also enjoys rubbing shoulders with his dad, a teacher who did not want to be identified out of concern his public school colleagues would hold his hobby against him.

Pitiful state of affairs isn't it. A perfectly legal, oldtime fun sport and people have to be afraid to admit they like it for fear of losing their jobs.

Nice article tho.

Given where he lives, I understand his attitude. Most people in this state think only mass murderers own guns.

Years ago, I posted a target in my office. It was the first one I'd shot with a new gun, and I had 10 nice, large, round holes in the black part of the target. People would get very nervous when they saw it.

I think it was Bruce that Blogged about a College that cut it's rifle team for "Safety Concerns".

point being made that WAYYYYY more people are hurt from football or basketball than EVER on a rifle team.

Hell My father is down one knee and one hip from a High School Basketball injury.

My lefty friends are always telling me "Guns are ONLY FOR KILLING."

They don't like to listen when I retort.

I'm curious, any HS's around here still have shooting teams?

And on that note, I miss Lake State, they had a REAL nice indoor shooting range. Free use if your a student.

The problem with that one is they named his kids full name. You don't think that the people he works with will figure that one out?


And I liked this:

"A gun is nothing but a tool to us to participate in the sport. It's like a hockey stick. You need a hockey stick to play hockey. You need a gun to shoot," he said.

It's true, and have you seen some of those hockey players teeth? I would think that the sticks are dangerous as well and should carry some sort of ban...

All in all that was a very good article. Nicely ended by referring to guns as an obvious necessity for the sport.
