Asheville NC Tea Party machine gun social

[laureloak]

"On Sept. 29, the Asheville Tea Party is hosting a "Machine Gun Social" at an indoor arms range in Brevard, North Carolina.

According to the event's flyer, attendees can give $25 for a 30-round magazine on a 9mm submachine gun of their choice -- an HK MP5, an Israeli UZI or a Swedish I. Guests can spend $35 for 30 rounds on an AK47, while the most ambitious of Tea Party patriots can drop $50 for 30 rounds on an M16.

And if you work up an appetite after all the shooting, don't worry: Lunch and drinks are included. No word on whether the drinks will be non-alcoholic."

1. SYG laws might get invoked

"Those guys were looking at me cross-eyed, and I felt threatened, so I had to blast all of them!"

2. I've shot the M-16 many times

I was in NJROTC thinking I wanted to be in the military. Underwent 4 weeks of pseudo basic training in Quantico. It taught me many things, including that I did not fit into the military.

3. I got paid to shoot the 50 cal machine gun and M-16 rifle.

It was fun. That was in US Army Basic training in 1982. Would I pay to do it now? Nah...
Would I pay to go to a Tea Party event? Hell NO!
