In case you're wondering,my uncompromising attitude to guns is due to my army training and experience.
I am familiar with: (have fired, stripped down and assembled) the following weapons:
7.62 SLR (semi automatic)
Armalite
F1 sub machine gun
M60 machine gun; saw a cook off. (round gets stuck in the hot barrel,and explodes)
M58 machine gun
Bren gun
Two types of grenade. One was the chocolate square type from WW2 (manual prime,treated with maximum respect)
Karl Gustav anti -tank (bazooka)
I doubt many civilians are aware of just how many soldiers are killed by the friendly fire of their highly trained mates.
The very thought of civilians with basic hand guns is scary enough. With semi and full automatic is downright terrifying. Most of 'em are untrained in gun safety AND fucking STOOPID. EG like that moron in the US who recently blew his dick off with his girlfriend's cute little pink pistol. PINK? Fuck me,a gun is not a fucking fashion accessory!
Contrary to NRMA propaganda,in the US,most gun deaths are NOT caused by criminals,but by people known to the victim. I would not trust ME or ANYONE I know with a firearm at home.
I love guns and love firing them,ON A RANGE. Off range they are kept UNLOADED, breech removed, in secure lockers,not loaded, in a bedside drawer or in a closet.. My weapon of choice:Armalite,a joy to fire.
PS. the great fantasy of far too many US gun owners is how they would fare against ta modern army,or police force if push came to shove. A bunch of poorly organised and led 35,40, 50 year old civilians,even veterans, is no match for highly trained,organised and professionally led 20 year old jarheads. Hoorah!
