Just got back from the gun store. Was finger banging a brand new Colt 6920 they had in. They usually don't have any Colts in their racks, much less 6920s. Place was pretty crowded, and this middle aged woman walks over to me, making a point of singling me out because I was the only one looking at EBRs. She pretends like she is looking at them too, and then she turns to me and announces: "Why does anyone need to buy one of THOSE?!?" - more of a statement than a question. I didn't say anything, just kept minding my own business as it is my policy to do. She hissed something very shrew-like, and went back to the counter to be with who I presume was her husband. I think he was buying a handgun. My problem is, I can never think of snappy comebacks when stuff like this happens. Ten minutes later, I can think of a half a dozen things I should have said, but at the time, I am usually just plain stunned at the rudeness of people. May God help us, because these people are in the majority of government now.

i normally tell them to stop talking about things they don't understand and if that don't work i just smile and say.... cause i like it and its pruddy STFU |

This is the actual problem
She was actually transferring her anger at her husband on to you. She doesn't like him buying a gun.
And this is (Or would have been) an epic answer. It's not about need, it's about want. I want this EBR and I want you to go away. see simple concept. Any more questions for me?

Look over at her husband and ask loudly, "Why would anyone marry one of THOSE?" Because you never see women without their husband in the gun shop right so she must be married? Lol. Anway I just ignore people like that. If you feel you must say something. "To kill annoying people who ask dumb fuck questions in stores". |

I like having them. Enough said. |

last month I went to the gun shop I use to get some ammo and reloading stuff and I picked up a better sound mod ( silencer )for my 10/22 , right at the same time an airgun shooter was getting the same . him, can I have a silencer for my airgun ? owner, yes £35 please me can I have a sound moderator or my 10/22 please ? owner yes , can I see you F A C to check that you have have permission to purchase one and let me enter it on our computer and print you a letter to send to your local police firearms dept and we will also fill in the sale on your FAC and inform the police and £35 please. me and the airgun man got the same item and he just looked at me as if to say WTF I had to explain the law to him . and that's a shooter , ok airgun but still a shooter who knows nothing about the law so to see all the new gun owners in the USA say one gun is ok and another is bad just makes me think who many will die with the same gun as they will not use it when needed. john And propagate obama  |

My standard reply for moonbat bitches is "Maam, anyone who knows you has my sympathy". The look on their faces is priceless. Im going to use that next time i get asked some shit like that. Then again, i have only been asked once why i would need an EBR....

Why must the response be negative?
You could have used the opportunity to describe how freakin' awesume it is to send mass quantities of lead down range. Why not invite her to join you at the range. 
My wife did not understand until she shot my HK91 for the first time. You could not have beat the smile off her face.
