Traps are a lot more dangerous and illegal in our area because if someone comes on our land, or even if a kid is out playing, he might get caught in a lethal trap meant for a coyote. Guns are much much safer as long as the weilder is knowledgeable, diligent, and practices good hunting techniques. (IE not shooting until you are sure what you are shooting at is what you want to shoot at.)

Now that is a good reason, though very location specific I guess. Didn't really think of it since the most dangerous wild life I've ever encountered is like a badger or a wild cow in a reserve...... (bloody bull kept me in a tree for 3 hours). Though I've heard rumors of Wolves migrating our way, wich I think is awesome

We do it because WE CAN. We bow to no lord or master here and have a fundamental right to bear arms, just as we have a fundamental right to freedom of speech.
Remember boys and girls, a Kentucky rifle makes every man 6 feet tall.

I have come to the conclusion that I will never understand the American mind set towards guns, and will continue to point and laugh for it, you know, because I can.

We have not progressed as far as Europe as to say guns killed tens of millions of people in the span of 3 decades. I would suspect America would be loathe to have rampant guns in this country if not for our cultural heritage with militias, freedom granted by amendment rights to carry guns, and the lack of a sombering experience to the American psyche (Vietnam counts, but the attenion span of an America is about goldfish level, so the Nixon debacle following 'nam was a juicy sideshow to avoid a deeply depressing public mood. 'nam affected the way politicians and the military went about war, but didn't destroy our love for gunz).

And in the spirit of your trolling post, don't worry, we'll point and laugh in your general direction as well. What country are you from again?

What I'm saying is that being able to do something doesn't mean you should do it, if you don't understand that logic I give up.

And seriously, your the one who started calling names mister Mod.


OH and WarOne, you just nuked a country... twice, and went on arming other countries, good thing that doesn't count.

I'm sorry, where did I call anyone names again? Additionally, please explain which country we just nuked...twice? Is your grasp of history bad or posting in English? As a secondlanguage you may have glitched the statement.

Thats two attacks on the US. At three I get to unleash MDG. He's fickle about his new country.

Japan? And, in other thread, but yea kinda OT... I don't know if your having a bad, or just have a complete opposite sense of humor of me or something, but you just come off to me like a jerk.

Is your grasp on your own history so bad that you don't even know you nuked a country TWICE?!
edit: oh i see the mix up now, the way i used the word Just makes it sound like it happened just the other day... my bad on that.

You rock.

wait wait.. new country?

Oh, whats MDG btw? I seriously don't know >_<.

You said "just" nuked a country. That was 60 years ago.

You stated "Just nuked"
1. I'm old, but even i don't think the nuking of Japan in World War II just happened. You're working on a time frame that even Methusalah would go...woooooo.
2. You're neglecting that whole World War II thing. Again which country are you from. Did we liberate you or kick or your ass?

Yea, I realized the mess up, once again my bad on that. Doesn't change anything really though

It was just a response to WarOne for naming Europe as a whole as a big bad. (like Europe has ever even completely united...)


Automatically Appended Next Post:
Liberated, though actually Canada did most of that, It's The Netherlands btw.

We've sucked at anything approaching war after our golden age crapped out

Well you are generally united in your love of cheese. As the key ingredient to what would one day be the concentrated awesome of both queso and pizza, I have to respect that.

Haha, fair enough. But yea, sorry if i ruffled any feathers.

point in case, WarOne, please don't lump me in with WWII germany and such, they be my angry drunk neighbours as opposed to our country just giving ourselves away first sight of them... and still getting bombed.

Soladrin,
I heard you like pellet guns....


















How do you like dem pellet guns?

Or it might lead the crook to shoot you from ambush so he can rob you without reprisal.

One hell of a 4th of July if your house ever catches fire (or your secret lair you have all that ammo stored).

Iron_Chaos_Brute wrote:JP, that is a beautiful collection

Thank you. And in case you or anyone else is wondering... The M1, M1 para Car, Kar 98, Broom Mauser, Colt 1911A1, 2nd Lee Enfield, are all vintage WW2. All are proofed and have supporting paperwork. They are not campfire guns, rebuilds, or anything like that. The M1 Garand is a USMC pacific vet, and the Colt 1911A1 is a lend lease to GB, and is stamped with the Tower of London Armoury proof on the slide, frame, and barral.

The Lugar and the 1st Enfield are WW1 Vets. And the side by side 12g is over 100 years old.

And I shoot or have shot them all!

Not really. I keep the guns in a fire/smoke/water proof safe, and the Ammo/reloading gear I keep in a undisclosed, safe location.

In America we keep all our weapons for the Zombiepocalypse. Or whenever Russia tries to invade.

Atomics arn't the same thing as Nukes either. Nukes are muuuuch better.

I always though that the Russian Invasion and the ZombieApocalypse were the same thing?....

Mmm, Garand. Ugh, when I get done with my Masters I'm going to spend some money on something useful, like an M1.

This is my current dream rifle, with a monster scope. Frazzled is old and needs his spectacles he does.
Fulton Arms .308 caliber AR-10 styled Titan.

Respect the Drag.

You ready for this?

Have access to one, shot one, and am not impressed by the SVD. Though if you want, you can pick up a Romanian knock off for about $800 here.

**EDIT**
And I see your rifle Fraz... and humbly submit my dream rifle complete with the super duper highspeed optics:


I mean hell... Who doesn't want to go Ground Hog hunting with this bad boy?
