Apt quote. Taxi Driver, along with Pacino one of the quintessential gangster/mafia movie actors, Men of Honor…
Well respected and talented actor, later tossing off his typecasting of a “tough guy” to star in comedies and even voice cartoons. Haven’t seen any of those, and never will. Now, he’s just another example of someone who “got theirs” and turned against the very people that helped make him rich and famous.

Eventually even the bad guys will learn, ya never know who’s armed, and who’s not….even being a “frail”, at 3am, sitting alone in a truck in a store parking lot.
(the frail wasn’t so frail after all)
That carbine looks……interesting.
It would be good to read a report on it about its accuracy vs distance instead of just a generalized report, “it goes bang good”.
Tox, you just know that our Beloved AW1Ed has been salivating all week, knowing that he was going to post this example. He even hinted as much earlier. He’ll do anything to get something that is Glock related into The Gun Bunny’s inventory, even if it is just a magazine that holds Freedom Seeds. He has just narrowed down the choice of which takedown carbine may find its way to Firebase Magnolia. Anybody want to guess which caliber that The Gun Bunny would lean toward? Anyone?
The property re-distribution specialists need to work on their victim selection skilz and Ms Thang needs a little range time.
“The gunshot victim…” *sigh* he’s a victim of his own stupidity.
Phuque Heem! and all of the other Hollywierd punks that think their opinions matter.
