Trigger Mike Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 I like to watch Columbo on Sunday night. Last night a murder happened while he was on a cruise ship. The initial suspect was found with a receipt for a British revolver. Columbo was talking to someone about the crime and if it was planned or spontaneous. Columbo said that since the gun was bought that it was planned because "people don't buy a gun unless they have a reason to". I kinda think he might be wrong about that.

Sixgun Sheridan Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 Typical anti-gun drivel we've been seeing in film and TV since the 1960s. Nobody buys a gun unless they intend to kill someone with it, since as we all know that's all they're good for. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also wanted another guy to fire the gun he said because, "I don't like guns and I can't shoot very well"!!! I do agree though that people don't buy a gun unless they have a reason to buy a gun like for self protection, hunting and target shooting, that's enough reasons for me!!

Sixgun Sheridan Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 The other one I often see on TV is when somebody has a gun and the first thing the other person asks is "you have a permit for that?". I guess the 60 to 70 million people in this country who own a gun without a permit are in some sort of trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokin Gator SASS #29736 Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 I always thought that sometimes he had figured out how a murderer had commited the crime, but as far as actually proving it in court, maybe not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(That was one of my favorite shows.) You give me the circumstances around a gun purchase and I'll give you a reason for their purchase. Seriously, why would we buy something without a reason?

Chili Ron Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 Howdy, INVESTMENT. Best CR I have several worth a good bit more now. And then there are the morons who sold their gold class rings when gold went way up to 150. I had the only class ring at one reunion. Real gold blue stone. I liked it....still fits my little finger.

Don't forget the 2 best reasons.
