Anyone here into firearms?

870 I thought bout getting it... but I stuck with my Mossberg 500 tactical breacher. It just felt lighter, and since I would be using it for patrol and high risk situations i didn't know how long I would have to be holding it for. But the 870's action just feels... so rite lol

My first pistol was a springfield XD9. Good gun, though I learned that I don't care for the striker-type pistols and plastic frames.

I had a Springfield 1911 Stainless Loaded Target (wish I'd gone with black/stainless), but I learned I don't care for adjustable sights and how easily stainless scratches up. I put night sights on it for the hell of it, since I also don't like black on black sights.

I have now, and still do...a Beretta 92FS w/ night sights.

I'll get another 1911, and it'll likely be a Springfield. I'm just not sure if it'll be a base model or something like a TRP or some crap.

I also want to get me the shotgun that I've been eyeballing for a while - a Remington 870 Synth 18 w/ ext mag.

I'd also like to get an M1 (I love military-use firearms)...

Gun Control

Barack Obama, at a recent rural elementary school assembly in East Texas, asked the audience for total quiet. Then, in the silence, he started to slowly clap his hands once every few seconds, holding the audience in total silence.

Then he said into the microphone, 'Children, every time I clap my hands together, a child in America dies from gun violence.'

Then, little Richard Earl, with a proud East Texas drawl, pierced the quiet and said: ''Well, dumbass, stop clapping!'

Good one. I believe what is illustrative of the mindset of gun prohibitionists is the fact that they so often say "gun violence" and so rarely, if ever say, violence committed by criminals.

Last week, the FBI issued its preliminary 2009 crime report, showing that the number of murders in the first half of 2009 decreased 10 percent compared to the first half of 2008. If the trend holds for the remainder of 2009, it will be the single greatest one-year decrease in the number of murders since at least 1960, the earliest year for which national data are available through the Bureau of Justice Statistics. Also, the per capita murder rate for 2009 will be 51 percent lower than the all-time high recorded in 1991, and it will be the lowest rate since 1963 - a 46-year low. Final figures for 2009 will be released by the FBI next year.

According to gun control supporter dogma - "more guns means more crime" - the number of privately owned firearms must have decreased 10 percent in 2009. To the contrary, however, the number rose between 1.5 and 2 percent, to an all-time high. For the better part of the last 15 months, firearms, ammunition, and "large" ammunition magazines have been sold in what appear to be record quantities. And, the firearms that were most commonly purchased in 2009 are those that gun control supporters most want to be banned - AR-15s, similar semi-automatic rifles, and handguns designed for defense. The National Shooting Sports Foundation already estimates record ammunition sales in 2009, dominated by .223 Remington, 7.62x39mm, 9mm and other calibers widely favored for defensive purposes.

Also indicative of the upward trend in firearm sales, the number of national instant check transactions rose 24.5 percent in the first six months of 2009 compared to the first six months in 2008, the greatest increase since NICS' inception in 1998. Through the end of October, NICS transactions rose18 percent, compared to the same period in 2008.

More Guns Means More Crime? Hardly. In 2009, more guns meant less crime, in a very, very big way.
