jakee 1,489 #51 April 21, 2007 Quote Quote Yeah, it's really fucking timely for friends and families of those killed to see their loved ones' death turned into a tool for a political platform with which they might or might not agree. Had the anti-gunners an ounce of class they'd hold off for a bit out of respect for the families and friends of the VTECH victims. Sorry - "class" and "compassion" aren't in their vocabularies. Oh give me a break. I guess I was just hallucinating factions of the pro gun lobby calling for the firing of the V-tec president? I guess that means all pro-gunners have not an ounce of class either? If anti-gunners say nothing then the only sound will be from the pro-gun lobby. If the pro-gunners say nothing then the only sound will be from the anti-gun lobby. Both sides speak up because they know that the other side is also going to be speaking.Do you want to have an ideagasm? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Amazon 7 #53 April 21, 2007 There was a quote Bresnev from the 1970's of WHY the Soviets would never invade the US... something to the fact that there would be 100 million American Gun owners out looking to shoot a Soviet Soldier. A well armed populace makes invasion by ANY army much harder... you only need look as far as the incompetence this administration sent us into Iraq.. where EVERY Household is allowed to have a nice Kalasnikov rifle with plenty of AMMO.... gee I wish I had one of those...I just have to do my shooting at great distances... and I practice shooting at 500 yards or more. That is a tradition that goes back a couple cnturies in my family of shooting fucking invading English troops..... and they were good at it. The Swiss also have their reservists who have their full auto service weapons in their houses... He was also a paranoid and had very bad dreams... about his country being invaded by the west.. being led by German and American tanks and American Paratroops.

Actually, it was Admiral Yamamoto, in 1941 - "You cannot invade the mainland United States. There would be a rifle behind each blade of grass."

I'm not glued to the screen on this subject this week, so perhaps someone in one of the smaller orgs made such a suggestion, but I haven't heard it. In contrast, every one of the gun controller agencies made the usual song and dance. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kbordson 8 #58 April 21, 2007 Quotewhat do you think your government will do to you if you gave up your guns? what exactly are you scared of? "Scared of"? Nothing. But... why would I WANT to give up my firearms? Explain to me why. They are my property. Some of my collection were owned by my father, and his father before him. Some of them are just beautiful pieces of machinery. Some of them, I just like. Your qestion honestly doesn't make sense to me. Should I also give up my swords, my knives, because they could be considered weapons? Or my vehicles, and my alcohol because harm can come to be with ownership of those? Or even my books, my paintings, my artwork, because it might inspire me to think or act different from you? What is the limit of what I should give up just because YOU don't like me owning it? Luckily... I don't have to worry about what you do or do not like. I can own an M24 or a 1911. I can have claymores (the sword, not the land mine) hanging on my walls. I can read about personal rights and have an opinion on personal responsibility. I can understand that, just as you have a freedom to feel the way you do, I have the same freedom to feel the way I do. "Scared of"? Not a damn thing. What are you so scared about?

crotalus01 0 #69 April 22, 2007 The SKS is a Russian semi-automatic carbine, designed in 1945 by Sergei Gavrilovich Simonov. It is formally known as the Samozaryadniy Karabin sistemi Simonova ( Russian: Самозарядный карабин системы Симонова), 1945 (Self-loading Carbine, Simonov's system, 1945), or SKS 45. It was originally planned to serve as the new standard issue weapon for the Soviet military forces, alongside Mikhail Kalashnikov's new AK-47 design, to replace the Mosin-Nagant series of bolt-action rifles and carbines that had been in service since 1891, chambered the expensive 7.62 x 54 mm R. As mass production of AK-pattern rifles increased, the SKS carbine was soon phased out of service. The carbine was quickly replaced entirely by the AK-47, but it remained in second-line service for decades afterwards, and remains a ceremonial arm today. It was widely exported and produced by the former Eastern Bloc nations, as well as China, where it was designated the "Type 56" (and, in modified form, the "Type 68") edit to add never claimed to be a gun historian, just what I was told. Obviously from this Wikpedia article it is not an AK knockoff but a competing Russian design that was adapted and reproduced in China. As for me and my house, we will serve the LORD...

jumpinfarmer 0 #71 April 22, 2007 I didn't read the rest of the replies, didn't have time. However I think of and use the guns I have as tools. Just like anyother tool I own like wrenches and drills. If I need to shoot something or just scare it away that is when a gun gets used. I do play with them some, no not recklessly, but normally just for standard varmit controle.

Scoop 0 #74 April 22, 2007 The funny thing is 'Axe_Murderer', it's just as easy for us in the UK to have legally held firearms as it is in the states, possibly even easier when you look at shotguns. Anyone can have a shotgun without reason as long as they have no criminal record for violent crime or instances of domestic violence and have no mental health issues. In fact, in these politically correct times where everything has to be justified, the firearms licencing officer told me its very difficult for the police to refuse a shoutgun permit. There is also, no waiting time for a shotgun licence. Now thats a tool that would be perfect for home defence, don't you think?
