Guns are a sportsmen's and defensive tool, I rather like my weapons a lot so you could probably say yeah to that.

I guess i'm never gonna understand it, i come from a country where the majority of the population do NOT own a gun, and even though the best defensive tool i have at my disposal is probably the lava lamp sitting next to me i gotta say, i feel a lot safer living in such a country.

I feel safer here than an unarmed place. Just a matter of preference since you can go to live in either one and we have similar (well, very different but much more similar than other) cultures.

I feel a lot safer living here. This country was founded on revolution and the idea that government can be overthrown when things get out of hand. So the founders saw fit to give the people the right to bear arms. They knew the system they built would eventually spoil, and took precautions to make sure the people could rein it in through another revolution if needed. It's nice to know that when things go south we won't be defenseless.
 
yes I lived in Germany and I still wanna show that pic I made how do I hook up a cell phine to the pc???
 
I have to say that I feel safer knowing that neither I nor the homicidal maniac outside are likely to have any guns.

Just being in a country where I knew someone could just shoot me in the street would make me nervous...

Just because they're illegal doesn't mean criminals don't ever have them. :x.

As the old saying goes, at least here, "when they outlaw guns, only outlaws will have guns"

True of course, but it is far far less likely that whatever mugger/maniac I encounter will have a gun than it would be if guns were legal.

I'd rather only a small amount of people (and the police) have guns than every man and his dog having a gun.

Guns just make it too easy to kill someone. You can't really defend yourself from a gun with a gun because whoever fires the first shot wins, which would usually be the bad guy.

mine has a scope it must be worth alot of money

If it's a Dr. Wohler scope, which is rare then yeah. Otherwise the scope value will just depend on the scope itself, generally people purchasing may want to buy without the scope to decrease costs (unless it's rare and if it is they'll buy together)

I wouldn't sell it if I were you, I'd keep it and take good care of it.
 
I feel safer being in Ireland were the police don't even have guns.
 
I feel safer being in Sweden were the police have guns, but on one else.

But on one else eh? anyways, I used to live in LA, and it is not that bad when everyone you know owns a gun. I feel a lot safer knowing that others know I have a gun if things get rough.
 
your joking right? that would make worse. guns dont solve problems when your involved in a arguement it only causes more problems
 
Just curious, do you have any live ammo for them or not since you just want to look at them?
 
You have to understand the type of people you are dealing with, like in my case mexicans were the people around, and they response to force and numbers. So the person with more friends and fire power didn't get touched. Why? because they knew not to mess with you, and it's not like you go around intimidating people, just letting the "ugly" ones know that you don't want your house broken into.

Never for an arguement that'd be just ****ing stupid of the person and irresponsible. If it's for defense it's purely for that. Not intimidation but if someone approaches you in the street and demands your money, shoot them. If someone is breaking into your house, shoot them. If someone is lunging at you to harm you, shoot them. But if it's an arguement with someone that's completely uncalled for.

Sensible enough, Hopefully most firearms are in the hands of people who value other lives enough to shoot them in the limbs if it ever came down to it.
 
I was reading this thread last night, and strange enough I had a dream about a .44 magnum..

*Slits his wrists and dies*:(
I must confess however, that I am a gun-lover too, my grandpa owns a tons of old guns(I don't mean WW2 old but napoleonic-era old).
I'm a huge fan of Kalashnikov rifles in particular.
I'm only 15 tho so I can't legally own a gun as of yet, not even a Factory Deactivated one.
I do know I'm gonna get a AKS-74(The 'Skeleton' stock version of the AK-74M) when I turn 18.:D

did you go across the street or down the road?

everybody in my family owns a gun...well, we have four because we have wild animals that try to get our yard...
 
I have a Mossberg shotgun in my room. I play BF2 the home game sometimes with my roomates. I'm the reigning champion....but I keep having to get new roomates.

The gun isn't even mine anyways. It's my brother's and he uses it to hunt. I'm gonna get my own rifle eventually because I wanna keep up my marksman skills and maybe go for the harder NRA awards and whatnot.
 
Here's my theory on this. We feel differently about guns in the UK, because unlike the US, we don't have vast amounts of wilderness and wild animals over here. The occasional fox is all we've got in terms of 'game'.

So when a british person sees a dirty great bastard rifle, we don't think "shooting bears"... we think "shooting people". Because over here, that's all you could be using a gun for.
Hence, gun ownership seems a lot creepier and a lot more worrying :O

I guess it's also because the UK is so densely populated. If you fire a gun on this small island, you're likely to hit someone :x Hence, we are terrified by the idea of guns being allowed into our bulging population

A reasonable theory?

That makes sense. I also think that the roots of the United States have quite a lot to do with it. We were birthed in war and revolution. Our system of government was crafted by men who had just finished a long, difficult struggle to cast off their own government. They understood that allowing citizens to form militias and own weapons was critical to keeping government in check. They understood that government, no matter how perfect the system may be, would eventually spoil, and they made sure every citizen would have a fundamental right to owning the tools required to rein that system in. It’s really a very important principle, and it’s truly crucial to our freedom.

Well in that situation you can't really do that. Any situation where you've got time to scope out a non vital area first, line up the shot, and then take it, is not one in which you should be shooting someone. Often times gun defense doesn't even have to involve firing a shot, the attacker or agressor sees it and flees.

You shoot to immediately stop/incapacitate them. Maybe they'll live, but it's doubtful given the situation/you might shoot a couple times.
 
I undestand hav guns for defense but in the USA looke like some obssesion for guns cuz looks like a lot of people hav many guns in the house for I dont know why,and in decoration is not a bad idea but I dont think a gun in the wall is a good decoration in a family house

btw I think is cooler to hav knives,guns are for cowards:cool:
 
Thank god guns are illegal here. If they wern't, we would have gunfights and robberies every ten minutes like America.
