I think you are mistaken. The list was posted on this website in 2009, not 1999. Of course, your point is made….it has been three years since the comment was written.

Why does everyone like to put watches and playing cards in pictures of the .45 ACP? Also most of these comments are from 1999 that’s a trip. I saw one 2012 lady respond to a comment from ’99 You know that dude is like “Let it drop lady, its been 13 years!

The second amendment is not just about crime. It’s also about the realization that power comes from the barrel of a gun. A government that bans its citizens claims the ultimate power of enforcement for itself. In a government that is supposedly for the people and by the people, that is contradictory. the entire concept of a government that serves its populace mandates that the sources of power- be they vote, voice or sword- lie with that populace. Banning gun (or whatever the weapon of the day was in past times) ownership is a key component of totalitarian systems of control.

Molly,

Guns were devolped to penetrate improving armour and also they require little training to be effective in defense. With that being said, there are sheep, wolves and sheep dogs….In this day and age the number of wolves is growing. We need our sheep dogs, and they need to be armed better than the wolves. For those of us who are warriors, they are a tool, we hope not to have to use them but we are trained well in their use. Take Care and Hope this helps

Excellent points on the Garand! Also, since I’m feeling “trivial”:

By the end of the war, the Russians had much better tanks than anyone.

The British had a jet, as well, but it didn’t get as much acclaim.

The Russians issued a semi-automatic MBR like the Garand (the SVT), but it was fed with a box magazine (no Garand thumb!).

The 8mm Mauser was the hottest round of all the MBR’s.

YEAH, I KNOW . . . just trivia!

What model of the Glock was “all composite”? Was it ever sold in the States?

I would select the M1 Garand over either of the other WWII rifles. The M1 was the first semi auto rifle issued to the general infantryman. It was reliable, accurate, and had incredible stopping power. The Germans had the first jet fighter, the first rockets and missiles, the best machine guns and sub-machine guns and the best tanks. The M1 is one of the few instances where the Americans had an advantage in weaponry over the Germans, and it was an advantage that was standard issue in the hands of every GI. General Patton said it was one of the reasons why we won the war.

I totally support the 1911…I love that firearm and have carried it and it’s variants into combat. BUT I used a Glock when they first came out, when the entire gun was composite. There were issues with the magazines bulging when fully loaded. It caused problems with dropping and feeding mags.

i would have switched the Glock with the Browning Auto-5
