We have a shotgun we inherited from my father-in-law, a paranoid Englishman living in Texas. I have a .22 Marlin rifle, similar to the one Annie Oakley had, and my husband has a .357 Magnum pistol. All those are locked up tight, of course. We have a couple of pellet guns that get more use than the real guns.
When I lost my rifle, the Army charged me 85 dollars. That is why in the Navy the Captain goes down with the ship.

A quotation in a speech, article or book is like a rifle in the hands of an infantryman. It speaks with authority.
People often ask me how I feel about my invention being used to kill people every day and the AK being a common weapon of ethnic conflicts. I want to make it clear that I created my assault rifle to protect my country. You can blame politicians for its spreading out of control on a global scale.

I don't know anyone in the hunting or sporting arena that goes out with an assault rifle.
I learned how to fire a sniper rifle, which I'm sure will be useful at some point.
