    Hey, prarie dogs had just as much time to develop shoulder-launched, rocket-propelled explosives as humans did...

    well you can't really miss the little critters with an RPG can you, even if they don't get obliterated the concussive force'll do the trick! actuall it'd kill and partially cook at the same time.... great thinking Ridge!

    You have got to be joking!!

    I learnt to shoot rabbits with .22 Browing single shot bolt action 'gallery rifle', and 5 rounds allowed, no rabbits collected and all rounds expended earned me a thick ear!

    not just for rabits, i like to cast no human silhouette, which they can easilly attribute, used to have a CO2 air pistol, lie under the ghille downwind so they don't sense me weapon forwards get one inside 20ft night night bunny! at the moment my ghillie sees more use at airsoft than anywhere else, no1 likes tripping on a pile of leaf litter with myself and an airsoft P228 amongst it

    3. WTF would a civilian do with a fully automatic weapon???

    Well actually, mine are semi's. You can convert an M1 Carbine to full automatic (the M2 was an automatic version of the same rifle), but to do that to me would be like chopping up Magna Carta and using it for 3m sticky notes.

    Obviously, your mileage may differ.

    As for why you need an automatic?....well, why do you need a car that does more than 75 mph??

    Never wanted to kill anything that didn't want to kill me and the urge to want guns left me when I was about 12. Still we're all God's creatures I suppose.

    It is documented that Yamamoto had advised against an invasion of the mainland United States, due to their being "a rifle behind every blade of grass". He knew this from his time spent studying at Harvard. Their was gun registration in nazi germany, and of course guess what people were banned from owning guns... I think we all remember what happened next. Not trying to spark political debate, just a friendly reminder...for every joan of arc, there is a hitler on the other end of the teeter-totter.

    summarised:
    "a complete P*$$ take so far"

    basically was born in Greece, nice and hot, then family thought it would be better for me in england, grey and rainy as we know, bad news i found a liking for weaponry while i was in the Air Training Corps (Spaceys ), found i could get 5 shots with a 22 inside the size of a 2p coin first time out shooting... things progressed a bit, fired my first L96 when i was 14 over 250 yards, hit the target second and third shots (first shot to check the scope) and the rest as they say is history...

    I have to agree. Sooner or later, you always get the "why do you need that for, civvies don't neeeeeed those, they are eeeevil!" types to ruin the party.

    Okay, so pop quiz. You prefer/are not allowed to have firearms.

    Someone breaks into your home. What are you going to shoot them with!?

    are you being serious?

    what would you do? with the arsenal youre showing off they'd have you at gun point with your own gun in no time.

    My arsenal consists of 1 rifle, 1 shotgun, 1 pistol and one .22lr range toy

    I keep the handgun loaded somewhere close to me but not somewhere they can get to without waking me. The long guns are in a case, unloaded near my bed. The .22 is in a locked hard case under my bed.

    Guys, to each his own. We are fortunate in most of the US to have the right to bear arms or not. I have friends in the UK and Australia who wish they had that right, but unfortunately not. I have friends here in the States who wouldn't touch a gun with a 10 foot pole, even thought they have the right to do so. Unfortunately, we also have a lot of disturbed people here who also have that right and many who have had that right revoked who are armed, which is why I choose to bear arms. I'd much rather have one and not need it than need one and not have it.

    Peace :USA-flag:
