Re: Childhood Gun Deaths and Injuries.... maybe we need more laws...

No, we DON'T need more gun laws! WE JUST need a WEE bit more "COMMON SENSE"! The problem with common sense, though, is that it's not so common anymore, if it ever was!

I've shot 22 LR through my Mini-14 via a Ceiner conversion kit, with decent accuracy - tennis ball sized targets at 25 yards easy at 50 yards a mild challenge.
I've got one of those, but since the barrel change I can't use it. :( Original barrel was 1-7, swapped over to 1-9 bull barrel.
