Best Welfare rifle?

Being familiar with welfare recipients, I'd say the most common welfare gun is an unregistered pistol carried by an abusive stepdad on a motorcycle. Those guys get all the breaks!

This whole...worthy of help...not worthy thing is pretty pointless in our current system.

It is also completely off the OP's topic. There must be a angry white men that pay too much tax self help group meeting at some church basement on a Tuesday night. If it helps, substitute "welfare" with broke because i pay to much tax, supprting welfare people, and i need a inexpensive rifle so my kids dont starve...nah thats to long......

Once again, your taxes do not pay for welfare. See post #134.

The only welfare they had back then, was family helping family, neighbours helping neighbours, not gov't handout cheques. Then came along the socialists.

Not according to the article I read...

....Sam Colt's father, Christopher Colt, was on a list of names of people "seeking, or already receiving, monetary help from the city (Hartford, Conn.). Call it what it was - welfare.....Colt was on the list and was found undeserving; for he had been in Hartford too short a time to receive funds..." He had apparently moved to Hartford in order to collect this "welfare"...Admittedly., it was a fund administered by a city rather than a country or a province, but it was still government welfare...and this was more than 200 years ago.

(This from a "Famous Riflemen" article by Sam Fadala in Rifle magazine 128, 1990)

So maybe a Colt is the true "welfare gun".

At both ends of the income scale there is a leisure class.

I'm not be grudging someone help when they need it but it should be for a limited time (excepting injury etc) and abusers of the system should be flogged.

Yeah, well .... I'm now of the opinion people who don't know how the system REALLY works (no matter their economic status), therefore allowing the fraud against all of us ....should be flogged as well.
