He didn't buy it. He's well known in gun circles for gun reviews and his markmanship. He gets stuff shipped to him all the time by manufacturers and stores. He's reviews them, cleans them, and ships them back.

I'm sure he doesn't have any of his own to pursue his lifelong love of shooting watermelons.

Some should be regulated. Some should remain legal. Switchblades are illegal. I can't carry my butterfly knives on me or in my car. Stilettos are illegal.

Never said they were the same. Said they are both tools. You guys can try to twist me into a pretzel over this all you want. I ain't budging on anything.

He's more into handguns. Guy enjoys blowing **** up with guns. Nothing wrong with that. Tons of people do. Power to them.

If you like guns because they're fun, just say it instead of banking on the defensive tool argument.

I think you beat us to the punch on that one but that's nothing new.

But it's not for you. Your knife collection suggests as much. They're your toys, not your tools.
