With all due respect my good man,, whats up with that little clip of the guy gettin blasted?? In poor taste if you ask me. Just what the anti's need to see. Not really putting the best light on the responsible gun owner. I mean we talk on here on weather or not to call a gun a weapon for the sake of the unknowing. What message does this send? It is kinda neat but not on a public web site. JMHO.

Peace Flathead

    Thank you very much! I still have more photos but I won't impose on you any more this evening and I have no idea if anyone is really interested in even looking at these guns. If you are able to post the rest of the photos for me then please e-mail me when you have the free time to do so. Of course I am in your debt!

    trooperchin,

    As we all know, most of use here are not worried about being "politically correct". I say keep it bud!

    Flathead,

    Maybe this will help, the clip is a segment from Saving Private Ryan. No one was really injured in the attached clip.[;)] Anyway, the guy getting plinked was a bad, bad NAZI. Does that help explain?

    From what I can tell, it's a Soviet sniper tagging a German soldier during WW2.

    The clip is from Saving Private Ryan and the dude doing the sniping is an American. His character was the best part of the movie. Quoting scripture and shooting Nazis, thats my kinda guy!

    Hey Flathead

    It is a movie clip from saving Private Ryan and a lot more tasteful than Janet Jackson's B@@B! Trooper is not even on prime time and if the anti's come here I know this crew -- they will get toasted but good.

    Plus give the kid a break. I have nose hair older than Trooper is.

    Not trying to start a fight. Is this one of those place's where if you dont go with the crowd you chastised? From gbeggrow's post it seems it is so, he takes it upon himself to include you all.

    There was just a thread that you guys responded to about using the word weapons. It seems that it was agreed that weapon is a bad choice, firearm is better for the benifit of those not in the know. But you defend a clip of a guy getting deeped sixed. I will stick with what I think and that is I think it is not the greatest thing to have a guy getting killed as part of your signature. I dont care if it is a movie. Hows about I find a movie clip of a guy using a gun and raping a women,, what the heck it is just a movie.

    I been around long enough to learn not to put things like that in peoples face. Bad image for gun owners if you ask me. Again JMHO.

    Sorry for stating my opinion and stiring the pot.[B)]

    All you can see is someone falling after (presumably) being shot by a man who works the bolt of a scoped rifle. You can't see clearly enough to establish the nationality of either man, though you can tell the guy getting shot is a soldier. I have to agree with whoever it was who pointed out that if the mere word "weapon" was disagreeable to some because of the "image" it may present to neutral or anti-firearm folks, why wouldn't this be equally so?

    If it's for public consumption, I'd sooner demonstrate my taste for firearms with a pic of a really cool gun...But, to each his (or her) own. All I'll say is: it wouldn't be my choice of decoration for a public forum, though I'm not personally offended by it.

    I love you guys that think it romantic, and cool to have to take the life of another human being during war time. Ask any vet that has been there face to face and see how romantic they think it is.[:(!] I for one do not!!!!!! Its more of a nightmare that never goes away!! Guess I am too "stupid" to know that though.

    I have a son in law inforcement he dont think it romantic to kill another man also. I thank god he dont think like some of you guys.

    Now take your gun and carry it around and be the hero you think you are.

    Nope , The original post was that it is not right for use on a public forum. I see it as a killing. Many here get on the soap box and champion gun rights, you know the drill, gun owners are responsible, we have our guns for sporting use, yada yada yada. Then this school kid gets on here and has short clip of a killing on every post he has. Then you wonder why the antis see the gun owner as a zealot that would love nothing more to use that gun to kill. I dont get it. Speaking out both side of your mouth , if you will. Does this site not promote pro gun. What does this clip of a killing do to promote responsible gun ownership??? Nothing!!! All it is, is some kids idea of something cool. I am somewhat surprised that only a couple guys here see it this way.


    Dont get me wrong I have my fair share of guns, more than most , not as many as some. I would like to keep them.


    As was stated you have the freedom to do what ever you want,no matter how ignorant.

    The first time I saw Trooper post something with that signature, I immediatly thought to myself, "Looks like a clip from Saving Private Ryan," I recognized it immediatly. I fail to see why that vid could be so offensive. Keep it trooper!

    Flathead,

    Lets revisit this. I can see where you are coming from about the overall image. I understand what you are trying to communicate and can agree with you to some degree. Also, as you pointed out I should not have assumed that all GBers share my feelings. I was sincerely trying to point out to you what my opinion was. Again im my opionion, Gunbroker.com is a place that I can come and be gbeggrow. I think a lot of us get a little frusterated with being labeled "gun nuts" and get tired of having to be so politically correct all the time in our day to day lives. As a business professional in corporate America it gets to me quite a bit. I've found that coming to the Gunbroker.com forum is a pleasent form of therapy for me. You know...a place wher I can "let my hair down" if you will. I hate the idea of having to be politically correct here on the GB forums so I guess I saw it as a slight intrusion (probably also too that trooperchin is one of the posters that I get a kick out of most) so I appologize if you took offense. Do you see my point at all?

    Anyway, it is not my intent to make any enemies here on the GB forum.

    I repeat: all you can make out is it's a SOLDIER getting shot. There's no way on God's green Earth you can tell the nationality of the soldier who gets it from the resolution of that itty-bitty box in which the clip plays, so anyone who HASN'T seen Saving Private Ryan would have NO way to tell if it's an American, Russian, German, or whomever. I also repeat: I'm not personally offended by it---consider that one of my favorite movies is Enemy At The Gates---but I can easily see where Flathead is coming from in wondering if PERHAPS, MAYBE, POSSIBLY such a thing might project the wrong image to someone visiting this forum who ISN'T a firearms/Second Amendment enthusiast like us. Nobody is demanding that it be removed. Nobody has even SUGGESTED it be removed. It's only been pointed out that the clip may portray gun-owners in general---and the enthusiasts who post to forums like this one---in a less-than-flattering light, which is, sadly, a real possibility. We all know that, to the typical anti-firearm/anti-Second-Amendment type of person, image tends to be nearly everything, and facts are of (at best) tertiary importance. And let's not kid ourselves: the "anti" folks undoubtedly tune in on forums like this one (albeit silently), not in an effort to gain understanding of why we feel and think the way we do about firearms and the Second Amendment, but to look for whatever stereotypical and negative words and images they can use to paint firearms owners as irresponsible, callous or---even better for their agenda---outright bloodthirsty.

    Just a thought.

    Mateomasfeo: Kind of a hypocrite aren't you. Don't you have a picture of Lee Harvey getting rocked by Ruby[?] [:D][;)]

    If it was that bad it would have been poofed by now. It has not so no point in bashing it. Besides, who cares what the antigun people think of this site. We could post little angels and stictly do charity work for the poor, do you honestly believe that would change their positions on guns.
