If I didn't live in the dictator run state of Illinois I'd use a Saint Victor 308, shame the Somali Pirates attacked me on the lake and took mine, otherwise I would have registered it. wink wink nudge nudge.
 
I’ll take my HK91/PTR91’s over the M1A all day…

In fact, I did…traded my M1A for a PTR MSG earlier this year.
Hans, your love of HK firearms is well documented here.

So is your disgust for Nazis, especially anything to do with the concentration camps.

I'm not arguing with either position; I respect both. But I wonder how do you resolve them? :confused:
 
As I posted earlier, if I had to I'd take my M1A Scout.

But in reality, there are other platforms I'd grab before I'd take the Scout.

But, I may take the Scout on an over-night bivouac for fun this coming summer since I live in Griz country.
 
I’m a walking dichotomy.
Huh. You don't usually hear it put that nicely. Usually people use a much uglier word. ;)

One of my best model airplane friends is about as liberal as you can get. Yet his area of interest/expertise is WWII Luftwaffe, and especially the Bf 109, in particular the top 109 aces. He uses historically accurate markings on all his models, too--PC-ness be damned. A lot of people don't understand him. He's a "walking dichotomy" too, I suppose. Same as certain national leaders who claim to be Good Catholics but support unlimited abortion 100%. Walking (sometimes) dichotomies. ;)

It also helps—slightly—that HK didn’t exist during the war; it is a post-war company (built in a former Mauser plant in 1949).

Not all liberals buy into the whole woke, PC thing. In fact I would guess the majority of them don't. I think the majority of us are closer to the middle than politicians and media talking heads want you to believe.

For example, there is a big difference between not being purposely rude to a transgender person and agreeing that they should be able to use the same bathroom as your daughter or compete against her in high school sports.

I dislike illegal immigration and the way it has been handled by our government for the last 40 years, but I got no problem with Mexicans. I know quite a few and all the ones I know are really damn nice people.

Yes, but technically the people who started it worked in the nazi plant during the 3rd Reich.

In any case people still drive Volkswagons. And Mitsubishis. Lots of Japanese planes that killed American GIs were Mitsubishis. The people who run those companies today aren't ( presumably) nazis so who cares.

Me too on illegal immigration. But I'll see your "I got no problem with Mexicans. I know quite a few and all the ones I know are really damn nice people" and raise you an "I actually married an illegal alien. And am STILL married to her." :eek: (The lovely Mrs. Snake became a legal US Citizen in 2000, and we have the papers to prove it.)

I got no problem with any of that.
 
Well one clue. In the article modern ( or at least more modern than the 3rd Reich) nazi sympathizers are referred to as "Far right". The only people calling nazis right wing are left wingers trying to deflect the backlash against socialism.

My step daughter, who I raised as my own since she was 8 years old, is half Mexican.

That's got nothing to do with this part:

Recent research from Bild am Sonntag revealed that Edmund Heckler was deeply entangled in Adolf Hitler’s Nazi apparatus.

Heckler served in the arms industry as Hitler was rising in the 1930s. In 1936, Heckler became an authorized representative at German metal manufacture Hugo Schneider AG (hasag). hasag was soon recognized as an “NS model company.” Heckler eventually became head of a plant in Taucha, Saxony. The reports reveal that he used forced labor from concentration camps as the workforce for his plant. “More than 1,000 Jewish women as well as Sinti and Roma from the Auschwitz and Buchenwald concentration camps were deported here to assemble bazookas in Heckler’s factory,” Bild noted. “The forced laborers lived in wooden barracks behind barbed wire” (Trumpet translation throughout).

Many of these forced laborers got sick or died. An SS document from Oct. 13, 1944, shows that 500 Jews were deported from Auschwitz to Taucha.

And it gets even worse. Jus' sayin'.... ;)

Hey, I still enjoy the music and movies of artists whose personal and political views make me want to vomit. I ain't buying any more of it, but I'm not burning my stuff I already bought years ago, either. ;)
