A 22 rifle is the best assassin's weapon. Its lightweight, easy to carry, you can drill holes in the stock to keep extra equipment and rounds...

And shooting someone in the head will garauntee death. The bullet will bounce around in their skull, scrambling their brain.

That image makes me sad. (emo)

Hey sorry. I was just trying to join in.  :o

Now I have to think of those books of J. Auel. And all those men with organs, and mammoth with organs.

In Sweden you need a special license for collecting guns and then you need a separate license to fire them and an own bank vault (literally!) to keep them in.

For an "ordinary" gun owner the authorities think it's suspicious to own more than 6 rifles or even 2 pistols if they have the same calibre. The average Swedish gun owner owns about 3 guns, most of them rifles. Only 8% of the population own a gun at all.

Here I could get one illegally within 24 hours if I wanted but I want to go the legal route

If you know a criminal here, you would of course get one quick too.

The black market is good, but it's not so good for guns in Europe, at least not in Scandinavia, if you don't know the crooks in person.

A very cheap pistol on the black market here would cost at least US$1000, but the hardest thing would be to find a willing dealer.

Most black guns here are either stolen, very old that were never licensed or smuggled in from Eastern Europe during some war, the latest probably after the wars in ex-Yugoslavia. Many black guns are WWII ones, a few even from WWI.

Black market here you have to know someone but you can get almost anything.  I had a friend who knew document dealers and others whose family owns one of those shady pawn shops

Once you have had a federal license (I maintained one for over fourteen years, buying buttfucking loads of guns and ammo for all my associates and massive quantities of ammunition to feed all those guns in our club - If there was really a problem with the USA FED, I would be one of those who go directly to jail, DO NOT PASS GO, etc ...  etc   ... etc...), you can still get just about anything, with proper licensing.


I have not bought a "gun"  in a long time, but my last purchase was that of a Springfield, M14, heavy, with a Viet Nam era sniper barrel.  It was perfectly legal, semi-automatic (the music says 3000meters of deadly accuracy, but I know the round well enough to know that, mostly, that is hype and bullshit. --  what's your target size?   How much energy do you need downrange?  --This range is over stated by at least one quarter.  meh!)   ... 7.62mm  ... blah blah ... blah ...  and I have it at my own home, not locked away, but in my media closet, at the top, well above my LPs. 

Mostly, the investigations I have had to endure (back in the nineties, when I still kept perfect records of my exchanges - most of which went to police officers who had no other way of acquiring weaponry outside of normal chains of command and a "NEED" had to to be established in that realm, if they wanted to acquire a form of weaponry outside the normal duty rosters.  There was no  way, outside of siding with a hack like me for those guys, other than something outside the law.  It was still perfectly legal to own anything in those days, except for rocket launchers and such.) came from curious federal inquisitions related to my (mid thirties era - John Dillinger style) Thompson sub machine gun and its associated hundred round .45 ACP drum magazine.

The fact is, I have a perfectly legal license to own a sub-machine gun (re-newed every year). The fact of owning the hundred round magazine seems to be more of a problem these days than the actual weapon is, which is licensed as fully automatic. I only own three automatic weapons, but for some reason this one is a NO-NO!!

:yikes:




.... if anyone stopped to think for a moment ... LoL!!
