Guns Go Bang! - C&C

[gsgary]

For all you anti-gun nuts that think guns DO kill people let me ask you this: does your pencil make spelling mistakes? Or is that you making the spelling mistake?

Just sayin'. :twak:

My pensil has spill checker built in

 

[o hey tyler]

Nothing like a little artist on artist censorship to derail a thread. I'm off to burn some books I dislike. p!nK

Take a dump on the American flag while you're at it.

Does anyone realize that you are never going to change someone's mind on this topic?

But these gun people are so easy to wind up

That's because we all hate ignorance people. LOL I bet most of the anti gun crowd aren't aware of the implications of the two court cases I posted earlier, and there will be more. =)

Its interesting to me, how for the self described "pro-gun" folks, everyone is either "pro-gun" or "anti-gun", but for most everyone else there's significant grey area... there's also the constant return to the "guns don't kill people, people kill people" tagline, which no one has tried to discredit, but many have said that that statement misses the point.

The longer this goes on, the more it looks like argument for it's own sake. It got silly a long time ago, and no one is saying anything new, and no one is listening, so why bother?

At least some people are preparing for a zombie apocalypse!! All I have is a large stick with a nail in the end.

Because anti civil right, anti self defense, and sexiest aren't as catchy... :blushing: :hugs:

Please tell me when was the last time you and I saw a gun loaded itself then go and robbed a bank all on its own?

That proves your ignorance and proves you know nothing of owning a firearm. People like you end up shooting themselves in the foot!
My rifle fully complies with all Dept Of Justice gun laws and I am exercising my 2nd amendment.

I never said you were outside your rights, or anything like that. I also never said I was against gun ownership. All I said was that I think the laws are crazy to permit such an intense weapon where it is not absolutely necessary...

thanks for the assumptions

analog.universe .. here is something to think about ..

"This year* will go down in history! For the first time, a civilized nation has full gun registration! Our streets will be safer, our police more efficient, and the world will follow our lead into the future!"
Adolf Hitler, "Abschied vom Hessenland!" , April 15th, 1935

Yes I currently own 2 guns. I bought my daughter a .22 rifle when she was 10 and taught her how to use it safely. All my kids know how to use any gun they pick up .. I taught every one of my kids how to shoot ... and Gun Safety. They are now better for it.

 

[e.rose]

Okay at least now I know I'm not the only crazy person on here...

Nope. EVERYONE knows *I'M* totally out of my MIND! :lmao:

I shot so many bullets yesterday my hand hurts.

No really... I did. And it does.

In the soft part between your thumb and pointer finger.

It's sore.

That little LCP doesn't play nice after a while, I'll tell ya what.

:thumbup: for getting out there and spending a day putting lead down range.

Haha thanks. I'm actually going again today... as soon as my husband gets home with the ammo.

[A few things to help with that soreness in your hand: 1) start shooting left (or right) handed so you can switch off (you can also do that Matrix thing with two hands at the same time ) 2) get a variety of guns so you don't spend the whole time shooting one gun and getting sore from it and 3) find someone that reloads and pay them to make your bullets and make them light loads (so they don't kick so much, AND it will be cheaper than buying from a store.)

Well the reason that I was shooting so much with the LCP is because that's the "carry" gun. I want to practice with that and get really good with it, because if I'm ever caught in a pickle... that's what I'm going to have on me. Otherwise we have an AR-15, and AK-47, and a Siaga (sp?) 12. NOOOOOOOOOT really carry weapons. We had a Springfield .45, but he traded that in for the Siaga and now wants a Glock... something or other. I think a 9mm?

*I* want a Kahr. I was looking at the CW9, but we went to a gun show the other week and this dude had a lightly used PM9 for $350... which is nuts, haha. Unfortunately we didn't have the cash THAT day to get it... but we have his card... and hopefully it'll still be there when we call. If not, I might just go back to the CW9 for now. I've never shot one, but it *fits* my hand *perfectly*. It's the first handgun that I've ever picked up and it felt comfortable in my hand. I didn't have to adjust my grip a few times until I got it. It just fell right in place. I have tiny kindergardener hands, so it's been hard to find one that's comfortable, haha.

The LCP isn't *bad*, considering how compact it is, but even with the extended mag, my pinky finger almost hangs off. The CW9 is not *as* small as the LCP, but it's still small enough that I could carry it. Plus Keith said something about the fact that it has a longer barrel than the LCP will probably make it easier for me to shoot. But that's all his thing... I dunno anything about that. I just know how to load 'em, clean them (well LEARNING to), and shoot 'em.

At least some people are preparing for a zombie apocalypse!! All I have is a large stick with a nail in the end.

HAHAHAHA! A friend and I were talking about this today at work. That's it. That's all there is to my story but reading your comment made me giggle. :sillysmi:

 

[analog.universe]

Well, I'm not contesting the right to own guns, I totally understand the self-defense perspective, and I also understand hunting for food... the point was that the particular gun that started this had nothing to do with either of those things. That gun was built from the ground up to kill people. I agree, that plenty of folks are plenty qualified to own and operate that sort of device, but none of them need it, and it's FAR TOO EMPOWERING for the folks who are not qualified, but can obtain it anyway. As mentioned earlier in the thread, there's a point where it stops being a tool, and starts becoming an ego booster. In an extremely small number of cases, it allows (encourages?) crazy people to do crazy things.

Promoting self defense makes for a safe society... promoting the types of weapons shown in this thread makes for a society ripe with power struggles. People should not feel encouraged to exert their will over others, and assault weapons are engineered for that specifically, exerting force.

So yeah, people kill people, not the guns... but some guns are for protecting people, and other guns for starting sh**, know what I'm sayin?

It's not black and white, it's not an argument anyone can win... from my perspective though, we should be conscious of the impacts of devices, and not just assume they're all the same and all in the hands of qualified people.

I am sad that the photos aren't still up, but I can see why after all the BS on this thread. Guns don't kill people, people kill people. People who know how to handle guns, respect the power, and use them the correct way have every right to own them and use them. I am petrified of guns, would never touch or own one and would never allow my husband to have one, however people have the right to own them. Unfortunately not everyone respects them as they should and that is why people die. On the show 1000 Ways To Die a guy died because a snake wrapped itself around his trigger and when he picked up the gun after taking a piss, the snake got scared, squeeze, and the guy died. Was this because of the gun? No. It was a freak accident that just happened to be with a gun. Stingrays are dangerous as seen with the Crocodile Hunter, snakes are dangerous, hell Black Widows are super dangerous, but does that mean that they all need to be eradicated so that people don't die? Did you know that the mosquito is the most dangerous animal in the world as they are responsible for over 2,000,000 human deaths?

Before you start spewing your opinions about stuff on these threads, take a second to think about the OP. They just want their photos critiqued, not a bashing on their recreational activities.

See? Rifle pointed right at my face...and I am still alive...

Good thing she didn't pull the trigger. Gun safety comes with gun rights.

Nice pictures! His shooting stance needs a bit of improvement though, not bad for his first time. I took my 5-year-old daughter out last here to shoot her 1022 Ruger. She LOVES it! I have a few AR15 in my collection as well. :blushing:

FYI, civilian AR15's are semi-auto guns but look just like the military version of the M16 full auto. You cannot go to a gun store in the US and buy a full auto gun that easy.

Maybe not but the criminals will just come and steal it from your place

I see the technical data, but no photos appear. Is there something wrong with my computer?
