Howie,
I shoot a Springfield Armory M1A National Match in competition. The semi auto version of the M-14. I also shoot a prized M1 Garand National Match. Your experiences in ‘Nam may have convinced you that you never wanted to have anything to do with a battle rifle again. I can understand that if it’s the case. I’m a vet of that era too. But I chose 6, 5”/38 to do my shooting. So I have no reason to feel that these weapons are “evil”. I feel that they are a part of history. Just as a Civil War re enactor would feel about his Springfield cap and ball rifle. The word “assault” according to Webster’s is a noun or a transitive verb. Not an adjective. So the term “assault rifle” is a misnomer. If you choose not to own a “battle rifle” that’s your perogative. They are VERY practical for hunting feral hogs, especially out of a helo. Texas is over run with them. They eats REAL GOOD too.
Excuse me Jim, but did you refer to someone as an a$$ hole because they have an opinion differing from your own? I see. Take away someone else’s rights as long as you don’t touch mine. Is that your school of thought? Hmmmm? Why did you wear that uniform? Remember the words of that oath? Was there a “time limit” on it?
-- OK, who's the wise guy that shrunk the plywood?
