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

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.

and it was documented that the US didnt want to invade japan because everyone would fight to the last, guns or no guns and cause massive casulitles ....
 
threads like these make me glad i no longer live in the U.S.
 
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!?
 
simple .. nothing ... you wouldnt have a gun to do it with jee ridge i thought you where clever ;) :icon_lol:
 
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.
 
well with the way the world is seeing America at this time, i dont blame the paranoia
 
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:

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.

I don't hunt either Roger. Never really liked it and I don't care that much for the taste of wild game (other than fowl) having been brought up on grain fed beef. Rather go fishing.

That being said, I do enjoy shooting. I've gone out with more than one person to the skeet range, who never previously saw the appeal, and made them into raving skeet lunatics in less than 5 minutes. Also,accurate shooting at stationary targets requires good physical conditioning, patience, experience, and practice, practice, practice. There's a Zen-like quality to it when you get in "the zone". One of the best shooters I've ever known was also a yoga instructor.

Another sport which admittedly, I don't do now, is biathlon. You run a cross country course rather than a skiing one, usually a 5 mile run, and every 1.5 miles the runner stops and engages a stationary target (in our case with a 9mm Beretta). Points are deducted from your running time for every target missed. This is loads of fun and we did it in my unit in Germany with our partnership unit in the Bundeswehr several times (they host one, we host one -- then we drink beer).

Everyone says they go out just for the fun, but about half way through this becomes incredibly competitive -- guys (and gals) throwing up on the track kind of competitive. :barf:

(I added that last part because I always wanted to use that smiley...but it is true)
 
Phil I am sorry you feel that way but you are sure entitled to it. Glad you are no longer in the U.S. Regards, Bob.
 
man, this thread must freak out people not living in the US! LoL.

i'm living full time in Singapore now, where it's illegal to own firearms. I've been telling them stories about living in Los Angeles, and how EVERYONE pretty much have a gun there.

It's interesting to live in a place where weapons are banned (even cops here have weak guns).
