No guns, I usually just keep hand grenades around.

Quote:do you have pics? How heavy were the bolts/projectiles?

lo, no pics. That was 20+ years ago. The bolts weren't especially heavy - a pound or so, I think.

(and your Bill of Rights says nothing like what you quoted. Not even remotely)

A STuG would be awesome.(technically its artillery)

Or a K5e

Btw google the guy who built a 1/6 Shwere Gustav, holy Crap!

When I was in elementary school I had a teacher who had a muzzle loading cannon. Every 4th of July he fired it.

Some years later it blew up in his face.

He survived with serious injuries.

That's story started out cool and ended really sadly.

Guns in the home are far more likely to kill/injure a family member or neighbor than any intruder. The kind of stuff that the NRA does not want you to know.

I have no desire to shoot anything that lives. If I have to channel my animal bloodlust, I have video games in which I can fire fake bullets out of fake guns and nobody is harmed.

Yet another gun thread ... predictable as they come:

Started with harmless question.
Followed up with anti-gun insult.
Response includes reference to Bill of Rights
Insert NRA defense and propaganda
Followed by endless barrage of statistics backing both sides
Random insults having little to do with guns
/end thread.



I think I'll skip this one. I've already seen the end.

I'm in the military, but I don't believe in owning a gun. Shooting at an intruder in the home or at a mugger on the street gives them unwritten permission to brandish their own firearm, whatever that may be.

Since I'm in the military, I have a very fair grasp as to what guns are for. I believe in keeping a gun on me while down range. I also agree that guns are for hunting. There are specific guns/artillery for wartime, and they should be used as such. There are specific guns for hunting, and the same applies.

Are you at war in our own homes? Are you hunting things on the street? If you answer "no" to both of these questions, then why are you buying a gun?

Because an armed populace prevents government tyranny. You take the guns & it will be Red October all over again!
