Hillary Clinton and others are constantly railing against the Gun Culture. She has no idea what that is.
The mere possession or use of firearms does not make one a member of the gun culture any more than owning an automobile makes you a member of the Car Culture or a Car Nut.
If you were a member of the gun culture, you’d know it. The gun culture is busy working up special loads for each of our rifles and loading the ammo ourselves, trying out different powders and primers. We’re debating barrel twist rates for a given weight projectile and trying different recoil buffer weights. And asking questions like: “Hey, anyone tried one of those buffers containing containing powdered tungsten?” They’re sharing information like I did yesterday, introducing a fellow to my Uzi, explaining how an “open bolt” firearm works and then letting him try it out.
Education and trigger time. Yesterday, I’d been testing some newly acquired surplus magazines for proper function with three different bullet weights. I found out that Uzi does not feed flat-nosed 147 grain cartridges. Now I know better then to load flat-nosed rounds in Uzi mags. Here’s hoping that my other 9mm weapons like the flat noses better.
We conduct classes on how to sight in a rifle’s optical ‘scope and adjusting iron sights on a pistol. We have competitions. And we practice. A lot. We have gun safes. And holsters. We don’t shove our pistols into our waistbands. We are careful and safety conscious. Here’s my version of The Four Rules of basic firearm safety.
And we mourn more than most people when a Bad Guy guns down an innocent because we know that people like Hillary will blame us and use it to further erode this constitutionally protected right.
Hillary hasn’t clue one about the gun culture she excoriates. She ignores the culture of violence created by the social-welfare state and instead blames inanimate objects for “gun violence” even saying that “gun violence” is caused by guns being “too easy” to get, despite it being much easier to buy a gun 50 years ago than it is now.
So she’s either stupid or she’s lying. I lean toward the latter.
