    INGA BARKS: Long-gun ban only threatens our free speech rights

    I don't mean to brag, but my boys are awesome with a shotgun. When the twins were old enough, we took an NRA-sponsored women and children shotgun class out at Five Dogs Shooting Range.

    Now, if you ask any of the men who taught that class (and they know who they are), they'll tell you that my boys were... rambunctious. Perhaps energetic. Or, if they're honest, they'll tell you those 9-year-olds were just plain boogers. But when it was their turn to shoot clays, they were magnificent. They hit almost every target.

    I knew right then and there they were born in the wrong generation. They needed to be kids back in the days when a person could throw their favorite gun on their back and walk down the street on their way to a dove hunt. Unfortunately they were born, and now live, in a "sissified" era where the sight of a gun sends people into a panic.

    Inga Barks is a pretty smart woman. It is a worthwhile read - thank you.

    I'm still not sure why the UOC community has not brought a lawsuit on 1st Amendment grounds.

    But IANAL so what seems obvious to me may be obviously wrong.

      I like Inga. I don't know if she participates here. She has a LTC

        I'm the Shotgun Instructor in the Article! Her kids are almost idiot-savants with shotguns, two meaner little twins would be hard to find!

        Having said that, she is VERY progun...
        TURNING and turning in the widening gyre
        The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
        Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
        Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
        The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
        The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
        The best lack all conviction, while the worst
        Are full of passionate intensity.

          Thank you for that bit of information. I'm liking her even more than before!

          And thank you for instructing people. That's really important.

            I saw this article in the local paper this morning. Very well written and I am sure there will be heated letters for us to read in the paper's "cheers and jeers" section next week.

              Thanks for the kind words.

              Without introducing a new generation to the Shooting Sports, the 2nd Amendment is just lines on paper.

              Exercising that right makes it real!
