Virginia Gun Owners Forum - VGOF

The entire line of thought that goes into such bans is simply assinine. People today spend entirely too much time concerning themselves with non-important, insignificant threats, all the while intentionally avoiding contemplating the very real ones threatening both their country and themselves individually!

Examples -
Worldwide economic war on capitalism
Islamofascism
Rising tyrannical nations that will soon possess nukyalur weaponry

It reminds me of the twunts who proclaim that "it is easy to save the world by doing 1 little thing each day!"

No it MF'n ain't! It takes brains, dedication and the ultimate sacrifice of generations of free people to live in freedom. I have as little consideration for these types of sheeple as they do for the freedoms they distain to the point of restricting my exercise of same.

I know a group who shoot at and posted obama pictures. They were removed pronto!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's not a joke today, I'm surprised they have not do away with the black targets to stay PC

Well John if that's the case then I believe I'll get rid of my Obama Christmas ornament before I get into trouble. I proudly HANG him on our tree every Christmas.

and why not, Obama hangs Mao on his tree.

A good buddy of my received and forwarded a text message talking saying "This season hang Obama from your tree." Somehow the school became aware of it and decided that he MUST disciplined and gave him 3 days suspension! Anyone else think that is a bit much?

I think I saw those targets at SgtBill's

Did he forward the message while at school? If he did it on his own time away from school, then they are way out in left field. (I think most public schools are there most of the time anyways.) But if he did it during school hours then they probably nailed him on their "no cell phone usage" rule. Was it excessive probably. The only way he could possibly fight this, is to find out what other punishments have been handed out for similar violations of the cell phone rule.

Tweaker

I would like to add the increasing tyrannical nature of nations which already have nuclear weapons.

Meh, doesn't matter. We are all workers now and the state owns us all. Our time is their time.

the targets at SgtBill's were all dead and unrecognizable

I have know idea if it was forwarded during school. They didn't catch him forwarding it however. The administration were shown the message by another student. Even if they did use the "no cell usage rule" it was excessive, you mostly see the phone taken away till the end of class for that. Either way he chose not to fight it so it passed and he went back to school.

But was he hanging the ornament as a silhouette target at the range? Just saying...

At the range I use, you have to use targets that provide (sell).
There are about 10 different targets to choose from.
One is a human silhouette and another is made from a photo of a BG holding a woman, at gunpoint, in front of him as a human shield. The only place you can shoot the BG without hitting the woman is half of his head.
The local police and sheriff's depts both train here, so they obviously don't have a problem with these types of targets.

I do not think that they are illegal in VA, but I do know that some ranges do not allow them. If I remember correctly the NRA range for example does not allow pictures of real people. Simple black on white silhouettes are allowed.

"Examples -

How timely - from this week's greenie weenie outdoorsy homo-rag -

12 Big Ideas - Solutions that COULD ACTUALLY SAVE TEH PLANET

3) NO GROWTH ECONOMY - 1970's era pap about how there are too many people on the earff. We must all accept no further economic growth.
Translation - 3 groups of people
Haves - Liberal elite
Have nots - poor that the Haves claims to care about and seemingly cannot help, but strangely is ok with continuing to starve and live in misery
Used to haves - You and me. We can no longer be middle class, and enjoy our freedoms and economic security, free from .gov dependency (Choose to fight this outcome or suffer the fate)

7) Free condoms - more dribble about too many evil homosapians on the Earff. "an (evil) American chil's carbon legacy (oh boy) is 168 times more than a child born in a developing country like Bangladesh."

Is Bangladouche developing? I think not. It is a festering boil on the ass of the planet that needs lancing. People there die by the millions every wet season, and this will never change, no matter what the UN does.

11) Meatless Mondays - ahh yeah, too obvious for comment

12) Energizing the fight against poverty - You all know this as a plain attempt to demand redistribution of wealth. "People of color and the poor pay disproportionately for their energy related costs."

I guess they assume that any rubes still reading by item 12, you are a full on leftist, and a complete disregard for discretion is in order. F them! Exactly who are the people that have benefitted from Communist/socialist policies?

I thought as much.

That is my recollection also. Nothing resembling facial features or the ROs freak.

The NRA Hq range in Fairfax and Shooters in Lorton both sell these.

I think that you should shoot whatever you wish to shoot. Just because you shoot any certain type of a target will not make you a racist. If you are one people will already know it no matter what type of target you shoot at. For myself if you are any type of racist I will tell you right now that you are NOT WELCOME at my home or property and if you do show up you will be removed.

Don't worry Bill I paint my steel white...

The last time I went to the range with my son, he chose a bin Laden target and I chose a zombie.

Both were completely and properly wasted by the time we left.

Yes I used to shoot at all white targets at long range also. That don't make you bad just smart as they show up a heck of a lot better when they are waaaaaay out there.

GS78 wrote:Its sad that some states restrict certain targets. I used to shoot at a range that was also used to teach boy scouts and 4-H kids to shoot on some saturdays. I was taking down my photographic human tagets(these are real depictions of armed assailants and hostage situations)when one of the fathers came over to me and asked why I was shooting at these kinds of targets ? He was agitated to begin with, and probably had a fight with the wife before he came to the range. He told me how he would not allow his son to shoot at such targets and how it sets a bad example for the kids etc....

....about this time I had had enough of this pompous moron, and told him I used these same type of targets to teach my son to shoot when he was 12 years old. He became unhinged. I said " If a stranger broke into my home when my kids were by themselves my son could have , and would have put 2 in the chest and 1 in the head without much conflicting emotions." I went on to explain to him that young shooters need to be taught about life and the dangers of it as well as how to "hit the center ring" on a target. Whether I taught my kids how to shoot or trained them in martial arts, I did not teach them to win trophies, I taught them to win."

Tempers and ranges do not mix, why wasn't he tossed by the range officer?
