[QUOTE=zydos;38898597]Liberal, fired plenty and own only one, Winchester 1884 centennial edition. I use it to hunt when I'm in the backwoods.[/QUOTE] Wait so you are okay with hunting, but not with target shooting? Whaaat?
[QUOTE=Ownederd;38898611]what does the fact that he has (you're guessing) never discharged a firearm in his life have to do with anything[/QUOTE] Because if you don't have much experience with a subject a person tends to be ignorant about it.
[QUOTE=zydos;38898597]Liberal, fired plenty and own only one, Winchester 1884 centennial edition. I use it to hunt when I'm in the backwoods.[/QUOTE] You are an insult to gun owners, fudds like you are why this nation's laws are so cocked up right now. Don't forget that to the people who want to ban guns, your Winchester will be right after my SVT, up until all either of us will be allowed is my single-barrel. Your gun is just as much of a "killing machine" as a so-called "assault rifle," so I guess that makes you just as much of a deranged murderer as the rest of us, especially to the Coalition for Gun Control.
[QUOTE=Apache249;38898602]Well you wouldn't want to rob a man with a shotgun, but you [I]really[/I] wouldn't want to rob the man with an AK.[/QUOTE] I wouldn't want to rob a man with a gun period. Having something which is more dangerous is just dumb.
[QUOTE=QueenSasha24;38898627]You guys act like there's some HUGE distinction between civilian and military firearms. The only REAL difference is military ones are sometimes full-auto, but those are already pretty much banned. A LOT of military weapons fire rounds commonly used on the civilian market.[/QUOTE] Where is my anti-aircraft missile launcher?
[QUOTE=QueenSasha24;38898635]Because if you don't have much experience with a subject a person tends to be ignorant about it.[/QUOTE] but this has no tie to the politics behind it; it's just a half-assed ad hominem
[QUOTE=zydos;38898541]So you have a killing-machine just to have fun with it? Sounds pretty cool man[/QUOTE] video games are murder simulators and god sent the shooter b/c jesus hates fags all very good points you're bringing up here but they don't seem to have much effect on rational people
[QUOTE=NoDachi;38898650]Where is my anti-aircraft missile launcher?[/QUOTE] Move to Montana and live on a Ranch, then you can buy one. :v:
[QUOTE=NoDachi;38898650]Where is my anti-aircraft missile launcher?[/QUOTE] Destructive devices are largely banned anyway.
[QUOTE=Ownederd;38898663]but this has no tie to the politics behind it; it's just a half-assed ad hominem[/QUOTE] I think the idea is that a lot of people with no experience with firearms or knowledge of them like to pass judgement on them. [editline]20th December 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=Apache249;38898675]Destructive devices are largely banned anyway.[/QUOTE] Depends on the state, but for the most part yeah.
[QUOTE=PaChIrA;38898634]Wait so you are okay with hunting, but not with target shooting? Whaaat?[/QUOTE] I don't use it to have fun. Shooting and killing things is not fun, it's dangerous, hence why I use it for hunting and hunting alone. Insert clip of guy shooting a .50cal and the bullet ricocheting back, knocking his earmuffs off. He almost blew his brains because he was having 'fun'. Fucking idiot [QUOTE=DaCommie1;38898637]You are an insult to gun owners, [B]fudds like you are why this nation's laws are so cocked up right now[/B].

[QUOTE=zydos;38898541]So you have a killing-machine just to have fun with it? Sounds pretty cool man[/QUOTE] [QUOTE=zydos;38898564]A light shining in the darkness. This is what it's all about, guys. You don't need to splatter somebody's brains all over the wall because they called you a faggot or are stealing your TV[/QUOTE] [QUOTE=Mbbird;38898415]You're an ignorant person.[/QUOTE] I'll repeat myself. [QUOTE=Ownederd;38898557]stop arguing pendatics - you don't have to guess that he's inferring that some people go too far with their idea of defense[/QUOTE] And as for you. People deserve the right to defend their life and property. More specifically, the [I]ability[/I] to defend their life and property. This is feeling like borderline blind pacifism at this point. They only need one gun to defend themselves, and 4 more to satisfy their interest in guns.

[QUOTE=Apache249;38898675]Destructive devices are largely banned anyway.[/QUOTE] Why?

[QUOTE=zydos;38898582]"Hey you! I'm going to beat you up!" Do you: A) shoot me B) walk away and ignore my shenanigans C) fight with honor[/QUOTE] If we're going to argue Facepunch style: "Hey, I've broken into your house, and you don't know me, and I look creepy as fuck. But don't worry, I'm just going to steal your TV. And your computer. And you're going to tell me where you keep the money in the house. And while I do all this I'm going to point a gun at your head and bounce around. I'll probably look like I'm on drugs too, because I am, but you don't know, and assume the worst and think I'm completely insane and about to kill you once I've stolen all of your things. Oh by the way, I might kill your entire family too, if I feel like it. But remember, killing me would be wrong. Humans aren't supposed to kill each other. Just turn your cheek and let me have my way."

Kinda unbased though since there's been pretty much no crime with Destructive Devices.

You should be using the weapon as such and not as a way to kill time.
[QUOTE=Call Me Kiwi;38898793]way to kill time.[/QUOTE] Did you do that on purpose? :v:
[QUOTE=Call Me Kiwi;38898793]I assume he meant that you're using things designed to kill for entertainment, and it shouldn't be that way. You should be using the weapon as such and not as a way to kill time.[/QUOTE] That's the beauty in it though. It does both for those who are interests in the former. I'm not even sure how you want to separate guns' two primary purposes in civilian society.
[QUOTE=MR-X;38879524]It will never pass and I hope it doesn't. The whole piece of legislation known as the AWB isn't even worth the paper it is wrote on. It was also highly ineffective, also the definition of what made something an assault weapon was ridiculous. Does it have a bayonet mount? it is a assault weapon. Does it have a pistol grip? If so it is a assault weapon. Does it look like a scary M16 or AK47? If yes, then it is banned. This does not treat the problem, just a symptom. It is like taking cold medicine when you have the flu, you may feel fine due to the medication but you're still sick in the end. Again our political system and media playing on the emotional response of people all while taking short cuts to "Fix" and issue and make us feel all warm and fuzzy. We're acting so ridiculous right now, it is fucking shameful. Pulling songs of the radio, (Trying to) ban weapons, pulling shows/movies, etc isn't going to bring these kids back. Every time something bad happens we're just going to fucking pull anything related to it off the shelf? We're gonna ban it? Fix the fucking problem and stop taking short cuts. Lets ban cars due to drunk drivers, lets ban power-tools because they can hurt someone, lets ban planes because someone crashed them in to two buildings, lets ban knives because people get stabbed, lets ban GPS systems because some people used it strictly instead of using common sense and crashed their shit or got lost, lets just fucking ban everything and take a magic pill that will make us husks so nothing bad happens.[/QUOTE] It's not going to bring those kids back but its going to stop hundreds more from dying in the future you psychopath

I'm not going to wait for all that bullshit to happen, or cheat by just shooting him in the face
[QUOTE=Call Me Kiwi;38898793]I assume he meant that you're using things designed to kill for entertainment, and it shouldn't be that way. You should be using the weapon as such and not as a way to kill time.[/QUOTE] It's a hobby. Get over yourself.

That's pretty dumb, what is wrong with shooting at pieces of paper in a safe controlled environment?
[QUOTE=zydos;38898841]Quantum leap: I'm using ICBM's to blow up holes in my lawn, but it's okay because I know nuke-safety[/QUOTE] Now you're being ridiculous.

[editline]19th December 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=QueenSasha24;38898860]Now you're being ridiculous.[/QUOTE] Am I? I'm just using a weapon for fun, like tons of people do. That makes it ok!
