Guns, your opinions?

[P7PSP]

I had a good friend how kept an Uzi on his sail boat and a M14 next to his bed   He was a lot of fun we used to go sailing when we were supposed to be at work.  He moved to the west coast 20 years ago

M14 is a PITA to field strip, Uzi is easy as pie. AKs are easy too.

i have two memorable moments from the military when it comes to stripping down the G3 rifle
1. was when we were told to never take the actual trigger mechanism apart, and some smartass did, and *twoing* indeed, there went a little spring, and he landed himself in big trouble :]
for extra lulz we were telling him "hey, your not supposed to take it apart" and he of course went "buzz off i know what im do- Oh.. shit." "HAVE FUN MAN!"
2. a guy who did eeeverything slowly. the gas mask drill lasted a whole week cus of that one guy and him alone.
i remember watching him putting the rifle back together again, aaages after everyone were done. and i remember him unknowingly rolling a part away from himself, clumsily looking for it. and i discretely kicked it back his way, so we could for once be finished for the day, and he STILL didnt see it, i basically GAVE it back to him, and he was all "wheeere did i put it... "

some people.....
that guy actually had the most amazing singing voice :S

:lol: A good part of what I have learned about guns came from fucking up detail strips that I was winging it on. Most of the time I have managed to get it back together.

A week of gas mask training? We had 2 or 3 days including the tear gas chamber. I think that guy would have pissed me off.

He loved his guns and his pot which he grew in his living room.  He had a whole host of other guns but those were his favorites.  His wife had one on her side of the bed also I cant remember what   they lived in a rather shitty neighborhood 

I love the image of his-and-hers firearms by the bed. Imagine breaking into a house in the middle of the night and being confronted by that!   

Oh, the romance is too much!

One of my favorite pre-schooling gun fixing experiences involved a friend of mine showing up on my doorstep with a napkin containing the parts and frame of a Sig P239 that he'd taken apart by removing screws and pins at random...  Took me almost 3 hours of screwing around to get it back together and in working order, plus fix the bent decocking lever that had caused him to take it apart in the first place.  I learned quite a bit about the inworkings of Sigs that day, since I had to completely detail strip the gun in order to have a recognizable starting place for putting it back together; it was aggravating at the time but a good mental exercise in mechanical principals.

My nephew is talking to his father about going to school in Pa to become a gunsmith

I own 50 guns, I am an NRA Patron member, on the NRA Members Council of Solano County. My Members Council signed up over 700 members in 2006, our best year.

That is awesome, PPK! Seven hundred new members is a testament, indeed.

I am no longer as active, since I moved to a land that has so few places to live where you can actually walk out, shoot your rifle and have your bullet fall on land that is not inhabited by idiots who want our guns taken away from us. Indiana is kind of over-populated, in my view.

I have almost as large a "collection" as you and pretty much the same if you count all my muzzle loaders. 

Honestly, I wish I could be more active in the community, but those days seem to have past me by, now.


You Da' MAN!

I actually somewhat agree with zegh, some people/cultures are just too stupid to own guns.

If you had the 2nd amendment in Mesico, you'd have 10 times the blood bath that's there now. not that that would be a bad thing. 

Do you live in Mexico?

To live in a world with no guns would be great    this world is not the world in which we live,  so i am gonna have
to say 'if someone else has got one,  why shouldn't i have one too?'

i happen to live in a country where you could break into my house and if my dog bit you during your robbery here you could
actaually prosecute me and have my dogs destroyed!!!  now that is fucked up!

Yup, and that is what you get for not shooting the bastards for breaking into your home.

Homes should be safe. It does not matter what you have to do to keep your home safe. You should be allowed to keep your home safe, period.


If I had a BIG club and came into your cave and took your food, would you not get a bigger club to keep you cave safe?  What is the difference in this modern era, other than having the technology to design a machine to take the place of a primitive "club?" Then, making sure that your machine is familiar to you.  The main reason that there exists such a disparity in laws surrounding gun usage is that there is a great disparity in ability to use these simple machines.

Hello, looking for what people think about firearms, the laws controlling them ect ect... i living on an island full of pot smoking liberals.... wait sorry liberals should not be used in the same sentence as pot smoking... it offends pot smokers. any how i am wondering if the views on guns is any different of you people in the US and Canada outside of where i live. i am rather of the opinions that this guy shares http://old.nationalreview.com/kopel/kopel120501.shtml also if anything i found it a good read, enjoy and please comment.

Pot smokers should not wield any kind of weaponry, without sobering up, first.

I wish we didn't need guns for protection.  I wish we would read sentences in full before saying we know what they mean. 

Having said those 2 things, I don't own guns, but Prince Albert does.  If I felt it necessary to own a gun, I would not hesitate to shoot an intruder who is in my house, nor someone who attempted to commit a physical offense in public.  I know this deep in my heart, without reservation.

I don't currently own a gun, but my brother owns several and he's very responsible with them.  I'm actually a pretty good shot and if I had a gun, I wouldn't hesitate to use it if someone was in the act of harming my daughter and I needed to protect her, whether I was at home or in public.

Good point!

From the use of the word 'you', I can only determine he thinks I live in Mesico.

Schleed, i agree with you with one exception to what you say. i would extend the protection from just yourself to yourself and your loved ones. but beyond that its just interfering in someone else's business. you dont know who's right and wrong in the situation and so you should not get involved, leave it for the cops to sort it out...

Now, wait right there.

The cops should make a decision on whether to protect ourselves or not?

Where are the cops when the ACTUAL need to protect ourselves arises?
They are never there when you need them most.

Their job is to apprehend those who blatantly defy the law, outright, and bring the perpetrators to a magistrate of some sort for judgment. While this can be useful, it is this very notion that excludes them from being effective in "PREVENTING"  crime.

I take it that you have never been a victim of crime?

The ability to protect oneself from an assailant is the same as a basic human right. It should NEVER be questioned.

He, who?


Are you actually talking to me?


I was actually talking to you.


What is mesico, then?

[DirtDawg]

If action was ever taken to deprive me of guns, I would begin killing people.

I will be right there with you!

Didn't figure you were talking to me since I hadn't posted in this thread, except to make a joke the other day. Just making a joke about Scrap's post, which you responded to. Does that even make sense? Not sure. No worries.
