How many of you own a firearm?

I'm not in the U.S. but I have a potato launcher, if that counts. It looks like a bazooka, and it's about three and a half feet long. You hold it like a bazooka too. I won't go into detail about how you load it but it's one sweet piece of crap. IT can shoot a potato like 600 feet, which isn't that bad for something three.five feet long.

In the US and have no guns. Probably never will.

A computer is a much more powerful weapon now a days.

Paintball is awsome.

Combat simulation is better though! <A HREF="http://www.crosswinds.net/~ahorrocks/combat.html" target="_new">http://www.crosswinds.net/~ahorrocks/combat.html</A>

I'm planning to go down to California sometime in March or April and have a ball

Just wondering, Does anyone make a True titanium(the high quality stuff not the mixed down stuff) samurai sword?

No joking about the potato launcher. It's real. At night time you can see like three foot flames from that baby.

I personally do not own a gun, but I have fired many guns, from cival war guns and muzzel loaders to high powered rifles pistols etc. I was brought up around them, never been hunting, no desire, but gone to many shooting ranges. They are fun in that aspect, but I don't think everyone needs one. Of course it's a protected right, so sure everyone can hav guns, but I think bullets should be harder to get especially ones used in exotic weaponry and hand guns. How many people get killed each year from high powered deer rifles unless in hunting accidents? Very few. Hand guns are made for one thing only- defense against other people, or offense for that matter.

ILLEGALISE BULLETS

Tell that to all the people that use them in drive by's, and tell that to cops that use them both ways, and tell it to all the people who get shot every year for drugs or the shoes thay have on their feet. I'm not saying they're ideal strategic weapons of war, but in urban USA they seem to do just fine offensively.

ILLEGALISE BULLETS

Can you link me to a photograph of a potato launcher?
Do you think you could shot down a plane with a potato?
Are there heat-seeking potatoes?
And radar guided ones?

I used to have a 9mm Luger, owned by a officer in the Waffen SS, Hitlers personal guard, original condition, all numbers matched, even had a original box of ammo for it, My Girlfriend said that evil waves eminated from it, she was sorta psychic, and made me get rid of it, it cost me $800 and I sold it for $2500, so I made a good profit, but I wish I still had it, The workmanship was incredible

Holy macaroni!!!

You can kill rhinos with these ones.

I may stop overclocking things and start making potato launchers.

You hunt deer with a shot gun? Isn't that sloppy? I myself hunt hunters(them dumb drunk F%$#s in orange) with my Remington semi-auto rifle. If we don't kill them, then they will just overpopulate and end up killing themselves.

I think a hick judge put it best 'several generations of imbecels is more than should be tolerated' - he used it as an excuse for eugenics. I use it to describe the generations of hunters our society has had to deal with over time.

I'll kill you all with the secret weapon. LOVE!!!

ILLEGALISE BULLETS

Well let me put it to you this way. If I were to be driving through the country one night with my trusty sidearm. And happened to fall upon a couple drunk hunters meandering through the forest dragging a buck to there Hick Truck.
And then they asked for some help- I wouldn't give it to them but I would give them some ...

Well you get the picture.

LOL thats what I was thinking! Sick minded people.......

Not like you need to know, I go to school where there is a large gay population which I am not too comfortable with. I do have a girlfriend and I am very in love so, if you are asking if I am homosexual, that would be a no to your question. I think that is a personal preference. I do not condone it but "to each their own"

I am glad you think that you don't agree with killing animals for inhumane purposes. Neither do I. My girlfriend is not a huge fan of guns but hasn't grown up around them. She trusts my judgement and I justify that when I hunt (i can only speak for myself) I do it for both sport and for reducing population. If it was truly ethicaly wrong thing to do then it would be questioned by the law. The gov't may want to take away handguns but they all agree with hunting because in places like MN there is a HUGE populus of deer. Do you know that people die in crashes when deer run out in front of cars? I should know, one of my relatives is dead because of it. This is no way for me to get revenge but for me to do my part in population reduction. I invite you to take a drive through aitkin, MN and not see at least 5 deer run right out in front of you. If you 4-wheel you'll see all the deer practically on top of each other becasue there is so many of them

Overpopulation-thats what happens when people kill all the predators(i.e. wolves, cougars etc.). It still does not make killing for sport or population control ehtical.

Ethically your state govenor should reintroduce a wolf population, ohh but wait, that would piss off all the ranch owners. We can't have that. I think these are the same bozos that think an M-60 with a granade launcher is a hunting rifle(if you want to hunt WWII Panzer tanks).

Look dude, I like guns for target practice, and if the need arises, self defense but hunting an animal for sport or because of wildlife mismanagment is no excuse.

I respect your opinion, I dont know anyone that hunts with an M-60 myself. Are you a true vegetarian? That means no leather shoes or anything. All organic, no meat. I know someone like that, they had to stop because they were dying. they didn't have proper nourishment... Now my point is that I had to remodel an office of a slaughter house. They had very small pens of cattle(very small) they fatten them up make them sit in pens for a few days then they shoe them in by using proders, after that they bring them into a metal box where a rabai would slice their throat and let them die. I would rather hunt a deer shoot it kill it and eat it than know what happens to beef before you eat it. I would rather people hunt with guns that with bow and arrows, better shot more kills less suffering. As for the governer thing, I know Jesse personaly from going to school with him as our football trainer, he is pretty cool but isn't the brightest bulb on the tree.

Which Baretta? Most of them suck, but I'm just wondering.

Sorry I was talking about the Baretta 92FS.

Well I suppose I would take an FS if it was given to me, but it's quite underpowered. The only positive thing is it's 16 round magazine (I believe, maybe 14? Not sure)

Sorry for my lack of knowledge... what does M.P. stand for?

I bet all the cool weapons came from like Russia or something

I don't hate Intel............ Do I?

Forget the potato launcher-My 30-06 will literally rip right through a bullet proof vest-something important according to the Second Amendmant. What political thoerist failed to mention is that the second amendment was meant to protect us from powers WITHIN as well as without. You see, they understood that when the government has all the "power" and the citizens have none, there is always room for corruption to lead to dictatorship. The people who wrote the Consitution were fresh off the heals of a war with England-THEIR OWN GOVERNMENT-when they founded this one. So they were making sure that We the People would have this ability in the future if needed. Now, my parents live in the country, I only ever use my rifle for target practice in the country, therefor I leave it there. I do not believe that the people of this nation will need to rise up against our own government during my lifetime, but it is important for me to know that if the need ever does arise, our nation will have the ability.

Suicide is painless...........

All the defective that is!

Russian weapons are pieces of crap!
Everything they have , the US has better!
An example? The whole set of Military Aircraft!
