Gun Land: A Day at the Range

Remember

Firearms are a controversial topic. They are often shown killing innocent people, either by accident or intention. No honest person will say a firearm has never killed an innocen person.

But remember...

Remember that guns have been held in the hands of many heroes. They have shaped the world we live in. They gave birth to nations. They freed the slaves. They liberated Europe. They gave equality to the common man, and gave him a voice. They have allowed men to stand up against those who would oppress and silence the voice of liberty, justice, and freedom. So the next time you hear the cry of those who would take the guns from the hands of the common man, remember. Remember that they are not just taking them from the future villains of the world, but the future heros as well. Then you should ask youself, what heroes are they afraid of?

A Day at the Range

Just about every Wednesday I go shooting with Brad, one of my best friends. We had an especially good time this past Wednesday. We decided to make a little competition out of it. We had a few guns out at the range this time including my Savage 11 and SKS.

My friend brought his AK-47 and his Ruger Mini-14

We had 8 targets hidden about 70 - 100 yards away. 4 of the targets were mine and 4 were his. The objective was simple. We had to find and identify our targets and whoever could hit them in the least amount of shots would win. As pictured above, Brad was using his Mini-14.

I was using my Savage 11.
