Every year I kill 3 deer and 3 wild boars so that my Granny doesn't have to spend $ on food . She spend her cash on beer and gambling . Just what 98 yo are supposed to do .

So guns can be used for more than protection

A good day for granny is sitting on the front porch drinkin 7 oz miller beer bottles ( 12 oz gets warm too fast , according to granny ) listening to blues on satellite radio , while watching the grandson drag her deer out of the swamp .

Also im still clueless as to why a less than year old infant NEEDS to know how to fire a gun which is the topic of this thread.

Well the biggest reason is that they are protected by the 2nd Ammendment which has very little to do with hunting oe even personal protection and is almost all about military grade small arms.

If you want me to expand on that I'll break out my soapbox.

As for the other uses well I'll have to get back to you on this, I don't have time right now for the amount of typing and documentation this subject will take.

but here some pics that will give you an idea of the kind of shooting competition I enjoy.

My point exactly.

Those breakthroughs are held tightly under wraps, used for destruction... and eventually work their way into everyday lives - but thats just a sideshow.

I'd like to see all that military forced transformed into something that will help everyone... instead of killing folks better :)

If you think you can do it better why don't you join? It's very easy to sit behind a computer and say what the military should do. The day you contribute to the cause then I'll take your comment seriously.

I say we pull are troops and Nuke the shit out of the Holy Land. Might as well go ahead and Nuke China too. Then we can get Nuclear energy going again and solve our domestic problems and get our factories running again and vacation down in Cuba. That is after a hostile takover of course. We can turn what's left of those places into giant versions of Disneyland and use the ruins for movie sets for remakes of Planet of the Apes and stuff like that. Cool.

Etimago please lock this thread

I think the point was not how to do better what the military does, but to remove the military and concentrate that energy and effort into helping people, not killing them.
I think James Taylor had it right - "You just can't kill for Jesus".
Think about it.....

This thread is about as stupid as the one about "did some wicked drugs last night"

This isn't what Yarisworld is all about... or at least shouldn't be anyway.

Somebody needs to yank this one and a few others as well.
