Even worse yet when followed by “TWO HANDS” and childish laughter."Common Sense Gun Control"
Bad when used by anti gun people, far worse when used by people that have guns.

With all respect to Jeff Cooper, "All guns are always loaded!"
I never understood why we started teaching gun safety with something that was demonstrably false. I've also hear "treat all guns as though they are loaded" and "all guns are loaded until you personally verify otherwise" and I'm fine with those, but don't start teaching a new person about gun safety by telling a lie in rule #1.
Just learned this last week and felt oddly betrayed. Should have known better than to trust anything I learned from 80s and 90s action movies.How about when watching the news about an up close and personal shooting and the reporter says so and so was shot "point blank".
When "point blanc" refers to the farthest distance at which you can hit a target without holding over it.
Stupid is as stupid does, Private Gump. You must be on a phone. On desktop, this is my sigGoing Gump on this one. Can’t help myself. “But Lieutenant Dan, you ain’t got no legs”...or signature.
Pet peeve: "You better send that defective __________ to me for proper disposal." Not original. Not funny. Not helpful. Please make it stop.
That is common knowledge among anyone with even a basic knowledge of metal working, Rugers by their design are stronger than their forged Colt and Smith and Wesson counterparts, Hence why Smith and Wesson model 25's just cant handle loads that John Linebaugh developed or how the M29 needed endurance upgrades to handle even the .44 magnum."Slow is smooth, smooth is fast." That sounds like a rip off of Wild Bill's "Take your time in a hurry" That was his suggestion on success in winning gunfights.
"Rugers are built like Tanks" Talked to a guy who was an engineer at Ruger. People relate size to strength. Rugers are bigger because they are cast.
He told me casting need to be larger to have the same strength as a forging.
The whole "what's your life worth?" when suggesting carry guns (or criticizing the choices made by others.)
There is not one person who can make me understand the algorithm behind that. So, you carry a three-thousand-dollar gun. How does that tell me at what amount, in USD, you value your life? I haven't even come up with an amount at which I value mine.
Revolvers are a better choice for other reasons, and they are more reliable thats just the way it is, every autoloader regardless of design has its biggest flaws in the magazine and the dependence on "perfect" ammunition, if the ammunition is even slightly in a different shape, contour, or design that ball the autoloader will not function regardless of brand. I can attest to seeing 1911's, glocks, and smith M&P's jam with flat nose ammo while rare it does happen.I've actually heard it many times referencing both scenarios. I like HKs and pay a lot of attention to threads about them. So my perception is probably skewed.
I used to hang out in the HK forum also but I wasn't enough of a tacticool operator for them, so I got fed up and left. I heard the reference there several times in regards to past CS encounters and the lack of attention to the civilian market both. I don't think either is true anymore.
More for my list:
"You're either a wolf, a sheep, or a sheepdog."
This isn't specific to guns but of mentality and I've heard it many times in reference to the philosophy of carrying a gun. It's wrong IMO and can't encompass all the people in the world or even the population of this country. Human mentality is far to variable to fit into one of these three categories. I'm more of a badger or a skunk. I'm content to be left alone, and don't really involve myself in the affairs of others. Leave me be and we're fine. Mess with me, and you won't like the outcome.
I can't stand any use of the terms "sheeple", "liberal", or any other derogatory term used in any stereotypical statements about antigun folks. Their perspective is flawed IMO in most cases but referring to them this way when we talk guns is degrading and not constructive.
"Revolvers are a better choice for carry because they're more reliable than autoloaders."
Well they seem to be less prone to failure due to their design, but it also seems when one goes down it becomes a club. Autoloaders may malfunction more easily, but when they do they can sometimes be quickly brought back to a functional condition by the user. You are taking s chance either way, so pick what's right for you.
All too common on that last saying...When I was with 1st TOW company we were stationed with 1st Tank battalion. I recall that those M60 tanks took around 8 hours of maintenance for every hour of use.
Those poor tankers were ALWAYS working on those tanks.
Here's my saying that needs to go away,
I support the 2nd Amendment BUT
Yep. I'm on a cell only and to read a sig, all you do is tip you cell sideways. Little tip for any other cell phoners. Or maybe his cell doesn't work like that, in which case "he better send it to me for proper disposal".Stupid is as stupid does, Private Gump. You must be on a phone. On desktop, this is my sig

And both will kill you
this one may be a blasphemy for some folks here :
" if guns kill people, cars should be banned, too"
used as argument in discussions
I find it a really, really stupid comparison
You have to take this in context. Yes, if you are going to clean your gun, you clear it, and yes it is not loaded. The correct context is a general practice. And even if your are handling a cleared gun, you treat it as if it were loaded. EG: you don't point it at people, etc.
