[/quote] Have to be easy though...it will take some time for a sissy like you to get used to it. You might pee in your pants when it goes boom, but the recoil is absorbed for your delicate shoulders by the buffer spring. [/quote] [b]I was in the Air Force and went thru [u]familiarization[/u] with the M-16A1[/b], then the A2. I'm not afraid of rifles, I realize that they have a purpose in the military and law enforcement. And that purpose is to KILL people. However, I don't want 20 year-old mentally unstable dorks being able to run by Walmart and pick up an AR and a case of ammo, then go shoot up a kindergarten. That can't be allowed to happen EVER again. [/quote] :cruise: [/quote]
Original Message
Earlier tonight while at Wally World we swung by sporting goods so I could pick up some fishing supplies. Daughter no.1 first noticed it, an AR-15 (not sure if it was a Bushmaster) on display in the gun case behind the counter.
Daughter number 2 is a bit older and more aware, and she was very upset at seeing it there. She asked "daddy, is that the gun that was used to kill all those kids in the school?" -- and I had to answer that yes dear, that's the gun that was used to kill those kids.
I will be writing a letter to Walmart asking them to at least consider not selling AR-15s anymore, or at least keep them where young children cannot see them. Daughter no. 2 is still very upset ...
