Nah, they let me drive an APC once I'm pretty sure they learned their lesson.

Had a lot of fun with my garrand rifle at the circus - even became decent with a handgun, but don't really know what I should do with it today.
Not even the incidents some 14 days ago where some nutcases fired 12 rounds of automatics at the vicemayors house or the gangs that did some 72 rounds ditto at a local ghetto a couple of days later makes me think I need a gun despite those incidents was within a two km radius of my home.With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

Yeah, if it was random, I would consider such, but the vicemayors son had apparently some debt to some criminals that wanted to send a message - the idiots wasn't aware of the fact that he didn't live there and was arrested a couple of hours later. The other was some "bad deal" dispute, and while innocents was at risk, guns wouldn't have helped.With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things.

Yes.
9mm Glock 17.
I'm not real happy with that model. And 9mm rounds are kind of weak in general. Not much better than a bb gun
. So I use hydroshok hollowpoints to make them a little more effective.
But I don't consider myself a gun person. And I do support gun control. I especially see little use for handguns. I think the only guns americans should be owning are guns that were in existence at the time of the Bill of Rights. Muskets and such. Cannons should be allowed too. I'd like to have one in my front yard. But I realize the impossibility of removing guns from the populations, so we are pretty much stuck with them. As long as criminals have them, I'd like to have one for home defense. I never really take one out of the home as you face getting sued if you shoot a criminal with it. Even if you were in the right. And I might be tempted to use the thing in road rage incidents.
Like I said, I'm not a gun person. I only got one after my brother and my buddy in the navy got one. Peer pressure and all that.
I shot it on a few occasions, but not since the 90's.

God, listen to you lot boasting about the types of guns you've got...
It's really chilling. No wonder your country is so messed up with regular massacres when the average American actually seems to be proud to own a weapon.
It actually makes my stomach turn...

I think I'll buy more guns to make more people sick.

No, it's from knowing that ****heads like you can perfectly legally own a gun in your country when you spew hateful (and inaccurate in my case) homophobic crap like that...Originally posted by Riesstiu IV

man-juiceI came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt.
