 hmmm?
Well I'm not sure what that means.
Darn emoticons.
Maybe "cooling fins" might be better than "bellows."

Oh, ok.  That's a pump-action shotgun with extra rounds on top of the receiver.

A 12 ga Mossberg I guess. Muzzle sure looks big. 
Sure look like D Cell batteries up top.
I carried a 12 ga auto in Vietnam, maybe a Mossberg, but I have never been able to remember.

I'm leaning toward the Winchester Model 12.  AkA, the Combat 12. And I'm almost positive all those were pump action.

LOTS of those carried in Vietnam.

Re: We need to talk about guns

I think you are right.  I took a really close look at a pic I have of some kid in wrinkly clothes and a metal hat holding a pump shotgun.
I still can't remember why or when I had a semi-auto, a Browning, I think.

This one gets around. It's weird ammo but obviously available.

Re: We need to talk about guns

He was probably angry because the 2nd amendment says he has the right to own and fire 155 mm howitzers.  But he cannot buy one on Amazon.

His hometown is Ewing Twp NJ.  Just outside Philadelphia on the NJ/PA border.  To honor his needs and frustrations, Ewing closed all schools today.

Re: We need to talk about guns

As discussed decades ago in the Cellar: as number of guns increase, then civilian safety decreases.  A reality now observed - despite so many denial decades ago.  Last year, one mass killing a week.  We are already seeing higher numbers this year.

An El Paso shooting by (apparently) two gunmen was next door to the Walmart mass shooting in 2019.  Where a gunman, encouraged by extremist rhetoric, wanted to kill Hispanics.

(Why?  Mexico was going to pay for the wall.)

Guns change the mindset of a person.  Makes an adult, who still thinks emotionally like a child, to be entitled.  A "might makes right" mentality.  Gun don't kill people.  Adults who are still children, with guns, exercise their 'right' to kill people.  2nd Amendment.  It is their right.

Adults who are children are not logical.  They are emotional.  Assault rifles and large ammunition clips justify those emotions.  And their actions.

Everyone has the right to 155 mm howitzers.  2nd Amendment says so.  Gun stores have not yet made those available.

Re: We need to talk about guns

https://www.nytimes.com/2023/03/25/us/illegal-guns-parked-cars.html

In some cities, organized groups of young people have swept through neighborhoods and areas around sports arenas, looking for weapons left under car seats or in unlocked center consoles or glove compartments. Their work is occasionally made easier by motorists who advertise their right to bear arms with car window stickers promoting favored gun brands, or that declare “molon labe” — a defiant message from ancient Sparta, which roughly translates as “come and take them.”

As someone who should never have a gun in a car, I'm just asking you people to be better.
