Bayonets... possibly a good idea?

[Radar363]

I bought an M7 bayonet a looong time ago, and I think it was made by the Ontario Knife Company. It wasn't too too much.

You used to find used M7s at every gun show, usually under 30 bucks. They're probably closer to 50 by now.
I wonder how many got left behind in Afghanistan recently?

I suggest you mount dildos to the end of your weapons.

I've just recently thought that bayonets might be a good idea, specifically to prevent unarmed idiots who would get in your face even though you have a long gun. Consider two recent events where people, specifically of the unarmed variety, were dumb enough to try and take a long gun from someone who was armed. In both situations these unarmed people died.

1: The skateboard guy who knocked Kyle Rittenhouse to the ground that night of the riots in Wisconsin. After knocking Kyle down, he attempted to take Kyle's rifle from him by the muzzle, and as a response Kyle ended up bestowing upon him a Darwin Award.

2: This recent video of a homeowner having some raging idiot get into his face and then attempt to take the long gun from him, resulting in a dead raging idiot - https://teamtuckercarlson.com/news/...lf-defense-and-offers-some-important-lessons/

In both situations I'm wondering if having a bayonet on the long gun would have made these now-deceased idiots think twice before trying to take the long gun. If either shooter had a bayonet on their long gun and then pointed said bayonet at the person who was advancing towards them then maybe, just maybe, the primal instinct of "don't touch pointy!" would have made them think twice about ******* around and finding out? What do you think? Are bayonets a good measure to dissuade unarmed idiots from attempting to disarm you?

Edit: The theory is this. The people who get in the face of those who are armed with long guns clearly don't believe that the person holding the long gun is willing to shoot them. These people might, however, be willing to believe both that the person holding the long gun wont shoot them, but said person would be willing to jab at them with the bayonet. These people think they're calling a bluff when they try to take someone's long gun (and usually get shot because it wasn't a bluff), but they might not view the bayonet as a bluff because they see it as being less dangerous than the firearm its attached to and therefore the person holding the long gun might be more willing to use it.

Dies anyone know where I can get a clamp on bayonet lug ? One for the mossberg and one for my AR.

Well, something tells me that if one strikes unarmed person with a bayonet, it will secure prison time long enough to read all the replies out there.

In for the undoubtedly entertaining comments.......
For whatever reason, I wouldn't mind having a bayonet mount on my 870, just for s...s and giggles.

Used to have em on Rem 870svback in the decades ago days.

Yep have a pic of one as a SoG in 80 before I hits EAS. Plenty were around during VN if you had to have one. Mounted lugs, and a variety of other both factory and after made.

Cans of substance & quantity, as as well as numbers were few and far between on most long guns in VN. Depending on units.

Three prong flash hiders were everywhere for a time.
