I almost spit out my Lean Cuisine 6 grams of fat Mexican dinner today at lunch when I ran across this ad from Cheaper Than Dirt in the Star-Telegram. I've heard of the store, but never been in it. If memory serves me correctly, you can buy all sorts of crap that will allow you to survive a nuclear holocaust or race riot. Ok, sounds fun.
But, seriously, who needs a $10,000 sniper rifle? And is anyone else disturbed about the word "sniper"? What do you do with that thing? If I want off someone, I think I could hire someone to do the deed for less than 10 grand. (And, for the record, I'm not thinking of doing that. Really. Promise. I'm in a happy place right now.)

Simpson didn't even offer that much .
Uh..... excuse me , who NEEDS a Hummer, or a $300,000 Porsche Carrerra? For that matter who REALLY needs a $6000 Rolex, or a $2000 Gucci bag? By the way, does ANYTHING make sense about a $20,000 facelift? Do any of you perchance own $5000 flat screen TV"s? Hey, what if a fat guy wanted a $8000 ZTR lawn mower, would thay be seem pointless and gross? Or someone else a $10,000 crotch rocket that is capable of something near the speed of sound? Is that logical? Could you cover your privates adequately with $20 jeans? Or do the $50 designer ones do that more effectively?
The list, obviously, is endless. As is America's appetite for excess. Any wonder we're not making a good impression on the rest of the world?
Barry, heres a tip: Be inclusive, be fair, or be quiet. The fact is we have become sorry excuses for world citizens. It's not about guns.
I'm not sure about that particular "sniper" rifle, but that store sells certain guns that are only available to police agencies (those with special kinds of permits). They feature them prominently on display, but with signs saying "Law Enforcement ONLY -- don't ask to hold them".
Kind of a bait and switch for the gun nut crowd. (I'm not one of them, but guns are definitely on my "things I like" list.)
I know what you could do with that "Sniper Rifle". You could go dove hunting in a baited field. And "snipper there little arses"
God I love Wise County Mentality
I have a relative (not inbred) that works there. All the thoughts of the types that barely slimed their way out of the primordial ooze that shop there are true. There are people who call that refuse to speak to her because she is a woman.
Darwin, please take the wheel.
Nothing like a nice warm uzi.
youve odviosly never felt the rush of shooting a deer at 1500 meters.
its cooooooooool!
"youve odviosly never felt the rush of shooting a deer at 1500 meters."
Or a defense attorney!!!
Maybe if you weren't a big fat girl, you'd understand.
11:05, I'm not particularly personally threatened by someone who owns a $300,000 Porsche, or a $5,000 flat screen TV or who just got a face lift, etc, etc, etc.
Someone who just bought a sniper rifle ..... that scares me.
The people you mention are engaging in vanity, which is not dangerous to others. The guy in cammo buying the sniper rifle is engaging in homicidal fantasy, and I think we have a right to be concerned; and yes (God forbid) - to regulate such nuts.
You may want the government to have to pry your sniper rifle from your cold dead hands .... but I don't want that to occur after they have had to pry my car keys from mine, 1500 yards away.
On occasion, we take our children on family hunting outings and this type of weapon can provide hours on entertainment as well as effectively eliminating the target. If you would like to see a video showing how, just go HERE.
I will always treasure those trips and look forward to more.
I have heard in Iraq they have cut people inhalf with that rifle! Makes me want to go buy one now.
Well said 10:16...
Dang. Those little suckers really come apart, don't they? If that's what a .223 can do, imagine hitting one with a .50BMG!!
Guns rule.
My great uncle is a gun collector, he owns several rifles like this one...he is a retired SWB executive. Never been a danger to society in any way, just likes guns. He is actually a big time democrat, spends several thousand each election year on campaign donations. He has called me several times lately to urge me to vote for Hillary; big Bill fan as well. He doesn't feel that gun control is big enough issue alone for him to be a repub.
Great investment if the DEMwits get in power. They plan to make .50 cals and other sniper rifles (we call them scoped deer rifles here in Texas) illegal. I bought my first assualt rifle as soon as BJ Clinton got elected. It almost tripled in value. Once the 1994 gun control bill expired in 2004 the price of my "pre-ban" has come down considerably. Cheaper Than Dirt (CTD to us homeboys) has great deals and selection on assualt rifles. Get one before we get Hillary or Hussien B Obama.
Actually I'm looking for a small, used, howitzer for my front yard. Anybody know where I can find one?
Ah....The Redneck Outlet
What's really scary is it's not just a sniper rifle but, a "sniper system", CREEPY!!!!!!
