'Same with the 2nd. But that's not what the quip says. It says you don't need them until someone tries to take the 2nd Amendment away. It says nothing about home assaults, or personal assaults, or citizen militias, or other militias.

Indeed. I had a BSA that I shot until I got the Anshutz and have had several others. Id have to check the records..shrug.
Id originally thought about 38-55 or even 32-20..but...converted to rimfire left those out. 38-55 would have been way cool.
Indeed. Its wrapped in a zip bag after being spritzed with Good Stuff .
Oh..its not going anywhere. I never give up gifts from people I like.

"On a January 28, 1994 appearance on Politically Incorrect, Dornan declared it was "The Year of the Penis" due to recent events in the news. This was a joke in regard to the 1992 media and political reference as that election being referred to as "The Year of the Woman", when 4 women won election to the United States Senate. In relation to this comment by Dornan, Representative Barney Frank noted "Bob Dornan isn't even rational on the House floor. You can't expect him to be rational on Politically Incorrect."[10]"
Dornan currently works with the American Life League, his primary mission as a member of the American Life League team will be refocusing attention on the Right to Life Act, a proposal that establishes the personhood of each human being as beginning at fertilization."

heh...Do you remember if the firing pin has a flat face? If so, it was modified for rimfire. But that should be the only difference, IIRC. The barrel thread is the same; the rimfires just had a screw-in bushing to offset the cartridge head from the firing pin.
If the face is flat, the firing pin can be replaced to shoot centerfire. But watch the cartridge pressure! That milled notch behind the bolt was intended to "disable" the gun from shooting standard military ammo.
How do you know in advance that you will never need to defend yourself? Or if awareness of your carry permit deterred a break-in? You have only absence of evidence, not evidence of absence.
"If you never need it for self defense" is a false assumption supporting a false conclusion.
Jim, you're arguing the 2nd, not the words in that silly quip. It's the quip that I said was mindless.
All it says is that you won't need the 2nd until someone tries to take it away. It doesn't say anything about any USE. It says, in so many words, you won't need it.
Look at it again:
"The beauty of the 2nd Amendment is that it will not be needed until they try to take it. --Thomas Jefferson"
"It won't be needed until..." Gee, I thought the idea was that was a PURPOSE to having it, like, as you say, defending yourself, or whatever you think you need a gun for. That quip says you don't need it unless someone tries to take it away.
As I pointed out many posts ago, that makes no sense. What we have there is someone who's a little dim, who thought he had a clever play on words going for him, but who didn't think about the meaning of what he wrote. It sure as hell wasn't Thomas Jefferson.

Sixth, etc.
Until what? Until your life is threatened, or until someone tries to pass an amendment to the Constitution?
Don't you care if your life is threatened? That quip says nothing about it.
The actual words of that silly quip:
"The beauty of the 2nd Amendment is that it will not be needed until they try to take it. --Thomas Jefferson"
It says you'll only need it when they try to take it, Gunner. If they try to kill you, no problem. You won't need it then.
See above.
What you're doing is knee-jerking about what you WANT that quip to say. But it doesn't say anything of the sort. It's all noise in your head.

Sixth, etc.
Oh the Amendment process is legal. Its the bans and other Unconstitutional stuff that will require guns. I figure this year they will kill all the Leftwingers. Something about "protect the Constitution from all enemies, foreign and domestic"
Of course I do. It might cause me to have to expend some of that expensive Gold Dots that I carry in my daily gun(s)
Makes sense to me.
Only if they DO kill me. If they try to take it..Im covered by it up to the point they kill me. And the next guy kills them and so on and so forth.
Spoken like a true RINO

Of course not. The Second Amendment isnt only about fighting off those pesky common criminals. Its also about killing those pesky politicians.
You dont understand that?

Id have to go dig it out of the vault. There is no screw in bushing..this one was silver soldered in.
Hence the 38-55 cartridge. Its low pressure enough to not stress the action.

Ed forgets that Self Defense is a human right. Yet it took the 2nd Amendment to give teeth and tail to defending against an out of control government.
Which is why the saying works.

No doubt the "poster" will have excuses for you in 2013 and 2014, as well. Stick with him, it's always good to know someone who can come up with a good excuse. d8-)

Hmm. Nothing about self-defense against marauding gangs with high-capacity ARs, or protecting your home against intruders? No citizen militia?
But the quip says you won't need the 2nd for that. You only need it if someone tries to take it away. Note the actual words, not the buzz between your ears.
That's a frightening though. It must be a synapse that's misfiring in there somewhere. d8-)
But the quip says you won't need it for that. " [I]t will not be needed until they try to take it," says your quip. Nothing about criminals or defense. That sounds pretty clear, no?
Well, just keep in mind that it's the firing pin that makes the difference. And if it already has a bushing in the receiver, check the center location of the thread relative to the firing pin location. That will tell you if it's ready for a rimfire barrel.
Yeah, I think I'd go for centerfire, unless it already has a sweated-in bushing in the receiver. Replacing the firing pin should be a snap.
I'd sure as heck proof it in an old tire, which I'm sure you'll do.

Oh thats well covered by the right to self protection. No so much in Socialist nations. And Blue States...but I repeat myself.
Of course it does. When one goes after ones home, ones job and ones funds via "law" its not by definition "criminal" Thats what the 2nd Amendment really is about. Defending oneself from those government workers who do that under the color of authority. There is a personal "threshold" beyond which one simply needs to use guns to end those sorts of threats. Government threats.
So slam your head against the corner of the fridge door and see it it starts firing again.

With 35 million "assault rifles" purchased in the past year or so...hold that thought.
There are no ARs available. There is no ammo available. In most calibers. Primers? Gone. Rounds are selling for $1.80 each
The folks are not stockpiling..they are arming up and preparing.

Hey, Ed. Welcome back to the monkey cage.
I've recently seen the quip about how the founding fathers didn't mean ASSAULT weapons, but their quaint muzzle loading muskets.
Only problem with that is that those WERE the assault weapons of their time.
But how about let's give the 2nd amendment a break and take a really close look at the 10th?
And, a thought about what happens when the feds can't pay their (THEIR) bills?
Who ya gonna call THEN?
BTW, glad to see you back as Ed. I hated that asshole TMT persona.
