Ah gotcha. I could never justify spending that much on a gun.

firing a .50 cal... is like... well...
it's like your first track day, or when you pull that amazing lap time... or like when frost licks your hoo hoo

I remember my 1st time.. I was in wisconsin... and my target was easily 1000feet away.. a pumpkin with bin ladens face.... breathe in, breath out....look down range, and pull... BAM!!!! and seconds later orange mess..

Haha I would like to shoot one one day, I just don't want to buy one.

I asked this before but I forgot about checking the replies.

Why in gods name do you guys need so many guns? seriously ever time I come here somebody bought news guns. especially stuff like rifles and assault rifles.

why in heaven's name buy so many guns.

Never use? I go to the range a lot and some of the guns serve defensive roles. I hope to never have to use those ones.

And I still spend money on the 5.0.

Ah this is why belgium is so much safer.

guns are outlawed for 95% of the civilians. only guns you can get are hunting rifles and you have to get tested and have your mental state evaluated before you can get a permit.

thus gun related crimes are extremely rare here.

though....the fact that I know that I will be firing guns at a range in june is making me feel all tingly.

Would love to get into collecting firearms but NJ has horrific gun laws it's nearly not worth it. Check this:

Chris Christie commutes gun sentence of Brian Aitken Hot Air

Thank the Lord that we finally have a Conservative Governor, and if he didn't commute the sentence this poor guy would have been in jail for...transporting legally purchased firearms, legally stored, to his new home.

Crime is not a gun problem. Crime is a people problem. Just because I have a gun doesn't make me any more or less dangerous than any other person. It's just a tool.

But that's fine. You grew up in an anti-gun society so you are trained to believe that guns are bad and that's just fine. To each society their own, as it were.

I dunno man. This morning, I found that two of my guns had hopped out of my safe and killed three people.

Oh no!! No politics! (even though I brought it up lol)

But in response to the safety of Belgium comment, I'd have to adamantly disagree with the reasoning. In Amsterdam everything is legal. Drugs, hookers, etc. Their crime rates are very low. In the US, said practices are illegal. Our crime rates related to drugs are extremely high.

Google "The Phoenix Solution"

Good read. Guns don't kill people. People who talk out of their a$$ get killed by people with functioning brains.

I hope to one day move to Texas where I can enjoy the weather, food, fishing, conservative philosophy, and no state income tax.

it's been proven that in areas of the US that the populace carry weapons, there are less gun crimes, because criminals are too afraid to pull their piece...

as to why anyone needs a gun? one word... Zombies... it's true... you can never be to prepaired... look at it this way, with that .50 cal mounted on top of my blazer, i can sit and blast groups of zombies from a mile away..

One of the reasons why I wish it would be legal for me to open carry an MP5.
