Thread: Gun guys!

A broken guide rod on my Colt New agent...


Thinking about getting another AK.

picked up a bushmaster ACR a couple of months ago they are very similar to the LWRC M6a4. now I need to get rid of one, not sure who's getting sold.

Picking up my Marlin 338mxlr out of layaway next week for deer season. :-)

Damn you guys have way too much cash layin around. ACR's and shit.

Last one I bought is a Colt AR-15 hbar competition with flat top receiver and a ACOG scope.

Still like my old Sig P220. Light, very accurate, and with plenty of stopping power. I've been shooting it for so long, it feels like part of my hand.

my very first handgun was a P226. got it right after I turned 18 in '87 and still have it, nice weapon.

I love shooting pistols therefore a part of me becomes envious when I hear Americans raving on about their gun collections and seeing guns actually endorsed by the majority of the population with enthusiasm but then I imagine what it would be like to walk down the streets of your cities knowing that every mofo is potentially loaded and ready to kill at the first sign of trouble and it kinda takes the appeal away.

Just over 15 years ago we had one crazy mofo kill around 50 innocent people including many children at a tourist destination, and as a knee-jerk reaction, all semi automatic rifles were outlawed and destroyed by our government. Now if you have a gun license you get treated like a criminal nomatter how responsible you are.

If an intruder jumps my back fence or breaks into my house, the first thing I think about it either punching him or flattening him with a cricket bat. The idea of stalking that mofo with a gun and killing him simply for being on my property seems so extreme that its laughable.

Here we assume the tresspasser is not carrying a gun therefore we tend not to want to kill him only to ask questions later but if we automatically assumed he was loaded Im sure it would be a different story altogether.

Would you guys rather keep your guns and accept the staggering amount of annual shootings or can you see the day when your gun laws become so regulated that it makes owning a weapon extremely difficult in the hope for less annual shootings?

it would not effect my life at all if I had to turn in my weapons as long as I was compensated for them financially since they were not free. don't need a firearm to defend my home it just makes significantly easier. I have an array of tactical knifes as well, some that will take off limbs very easily if needed.

after serving in the military in the gulf war and in columbia I value the life's of others much greater now and would prefer to not have to kill again unless absolutely necessary, it changes you.

you can't stop the psychopath or rapist, etc. from killing but statics show that countries with low poverty rates have substantially less violent crime...the murder rate in Latin American which has been plagued with poverty for a long time has drastically decreased in recent decades as incomes have risen substantially.

when the Japanese fleets came and over-fished the waters off the cost of Somalia there was no navy there to protect the waters for these people. the Somalian pirates are all ex-fisherman, there way of life was destroyed and now they are desperate.

Heavy gun regulations just makes the law abiding population less well armed and easier targets for the criminals who by definition don't give a crap about the law.

I'm all for common sense regulations ( No, you don't need that rocket launcher. No, paroled felons should not have a gun. Etc...), however I think an armed, law abiding populace is a good thing.

bought a buddys mossberg 500. he recenetly joined the army bought the damn thing right before it and used it like 4 times. i got it so a steal! wish i had the bash laying around for more of the shiut big boys are playing with in this thread lol

the US has the highest rate of gun related crimes and murders because there is easy access to firearms AND we are a very violent country.

there are numerous countries out there with more lax gun laws with substantially less violent crime and murder rates where guns were used.

When I moved to my current state, I couldn't believe how regulated everything is here. i just left most of my collection back home with my brother. I had a concealed weapons permit for years, and when I moved here, I couldn't believe how difficult it is to maintain here, not to mention how expensive. By the way, this (new) state leads the country in gun related deaths every year. Gun laws don't work, they just take the gun out of the hands of the law-abiding citizen and put it in the hands of the criminal.

they would be much more effective if not being discounted by the masses amounts of weapons being sold by those with FFL's that end up on the streets. far too many breaking the laws just to line their own pockets.

almost 90% of violent crimes occur outside of the home according to the DOJ stats. so while it is our constitutional right it offers very little protection in reality.

I didn't like the acr because of the push button for dropping mags, but I almost bought one myself. Did they ever come out with the others barrels yet?

I haven't tried that one yet, I love my glock17c though.

The shootings you here about in the news are terrible and they happened slot last month. That Oslo thing, the incident in Washington, and the skating rink in Texas.

I carry everywhere I go and so does my wife, so that we may be prepared for taking someone out that is relentlessly killing people in a public venue like a skating rink. Carrying in an incident like that will save innocent lives. But it is also what I do for a living, executive protection.

I like the laws the way they are currently, at least where I live. I am paranoid of being a victim to a ragin idiot with a gun.

They mainly end up in the wrong hands because they are not secured properly in the owners homes and they end up stolen.

How much?

Got a Ruger P95. Soon will be adding a Ruger SR1911. Early Christmas present to myself.

Legally owned firearms aren't the problem. Those with FFLs aren't the problem, either. The problem is the criminals. Ban guns altogether and only the criminals will have guns. Check out the UK. Check out any other country that has done that.

Take it from someone who sold guns for over 2 years for a living, there needs to be a little more regulation. I think if the general public knew how many gray areas there are in gun laws they would be shocked.

they are a big part the problem...dealers are selling people 10-15 A.K's "legally" then those people are selling them on the street. there is not one logical reason for a person buy weapons like this in quantity.

we have gun shows all the time out here in Vegas. anyone can buy a weapon there are no onsite-background check's. it's all "faith" based

My latest addition is a Norinco 1911 commander size circa 1993

The FFLs are not the problem then. The problem is the people selling the weapons after that.

There may not be any logical reason for buying such quantities but why shouldn't someone buy however many they want? In this country you can buy, in one single trip to the store, 1,000 rounds of ammo, a kiddie pool and enough frozen tacos to fill it and nobody will bat an eye unless your card gets declined.

Why should there be background checks in the first place? We have this thing called the 2nd Amendment. I'm very pro-gun, BTW.

This is true. Texas is proof you can responsibly own firearms though the amount that are here do lead to Criminals getting their hands on them. I don't think the laws need to be any more lax then they are in TX, nor do they need to be any more severe. I don't know exactly what the solution is but I do know that over-regulation does put them only in the hands of criminals. Many people in TX have shot, sometimes killed, intruders or robbers in homes/businesses and I for one think they did the state a favor. My gun sits under my bed and all I have to do is pull the level of that Marlin back and I can send 6 rounds though that dumb ass who comes in my home. Are you really going to keep coming into a room when someone has a rifle pointed right at their chest, I don't think so, you are going to run. I will shoot you in the back and pull your ass back in my places .
