Remember that school that was arming students with buckets of rocks as protection? Now it's baseball bats.

Depends on the gun, some need cooling, i.e the Maxim 8mm machine gun.
Politicians are cold blooded lizard folk so they need to sun themselves, to appear warm.

Well I assume almost none of the women. And the guys who are used to it are probably way over confident.

If the NRA ain't willing to sacrifice itself in order to get rid of the NFA, then they don't support gun owners.
It'll be like a hero's death to save everyone else, except the NRA ain't really a hero but that doesn't matter.


No, they are not heroes. Simply the oldest civil rights organization in America.

Any shorter and they would be SBBs.

The truth is the exact opposite of this statement.

At that point its not really a bat. More like a wooden club or nightstick. I still don't think that beats a gun. Unless you rush the guy when he comes in the door with the help of your kiddies.
Im a slightly Authoritarian Moderate, I believe limited monarchies are the best systems of government, and that every 2016 presidential candidate was an idiot.
I personally feel that most people, in the act of trying to sound smart, often usually don't know what the fuck they are talking about.

A halberd would be a little unwieldy in a classroom. Just give the teachers Kreigsmessers. Kill the gunman, and get the iron cross for bravery and service to the fatherland.

Shall we also accept them into the Teutonic Order? and train them as Teutonic Knights, and launch a Crusade into Scandinavia?

What, I thought the Tuetonics launched their crusade into the Baltics. How can we wage a crusade if we don’t even know where we’re going?
