Gun ownership is a controversial issue, you can't expect to be able to make a topic about it without people saying you shouldn't be able to own them at all.soapyshooter said:
It would be like making a thread asking "Where did you, or are going to, get your first abortion?" and expecting no-one to comment saying that abortions are wrong.
we're a neutral country, fabian. and it's the reserves =PFurburt said:
i joined because i hate guns.
i do that sometimes.
i learned to swim because i was terrified of water, and learned to drive because i hate cars, started modeling because i hate how i look, sang in a band because i hated my voice... et c.
only way i'd join the PDF is as a medic.
[which i wouldnt mind, really, if they'd let me in]
That speech seems to be very free enough. As does the company's right to fire you. You have the right in this country (USA) to say whatever may come to your mind. You do not, however, have the right to dictate peoples reactions to your statements.KoreyGM said:If you want to get serious then no we are less free than when the British ruled us, I could possibly get fired from a corporate job for saying a female/male coworker is hot, not in a offensive way, just "Yea she is pretty hot" a person can get fired for that, how is that for free speech.dagens24 said:I don't care about people owning guns but I find the comment about how society is progressing to be very narrow minded.soapyshooter said:What was it? or if you will be a gun owner Which one will you buy?
On my 21st birthday i am gonna pick up this lil beauty:
Its mainly of self defense, The way society is progressing you dont know when shit will hit the fan.
Serious answers are appreciated (someone will say BFG 9000) but whatever, have fun with it.
EDIT: FOR THE LOVE OF GOD. THIS ISNT A THREAD ABOUT GUN RIGHTS! IF YOU DONT WANT ONE THEN FINE! STOP JUDGING THOSE WHO WILL BUY ONE OR ALREADY OWN ONE. Take your opinions to the right place, they will be appreciated and this is not the right thread to start a gun ownership debate.
Modern North American society is better then ever. More people have more rights then ever before. Technology has made life easier then ever before. People are healthier and live longer then ever before. Also, people are now safer then ever before.
All in all, the modern society kicks ass.
...Wait a minute... Aren't we talking about guns here?
I'd like eventually come into the ownership of a .357 or .44 magnum and a Winchester 1887. Also, and AK-47 and M4/AR-15. I have NO CLUE about guns prices so i could have just named a good 10k+ worth of guns.
That's what I'm talking about! My favorites are my gerbers.soapyshooter said:I own this:brainsurgery101 said:
It was a gift from one of my dad's friends. Its US KaBar
But soon I shall soon have a much finer collection... once I'm not poor that is...
Well, it's not a "real" gun per se, but it's still considered a gun.soapyshooter said:What was it? or if you will be a gun owner Which one will you buy?

My first gun was a Red Ryder BB rifle (inb4 shoot your eye out kid. I do love that movie though.)
I don't own a "real" gun yet, but that's because I live in a dorm, so I can't have one anyway. When I get my first house/apartment, I might buy a handgun, but I dunno, it's not a priority for me, I don't plan to live somewhere with high crime.
My grandfather on my Dad's side is a big hunting enthusiast, and has tons of rifles and shotguns, but he's smart about it, and keeps them locked up. I've shot a regular old .22 rifle a few times with him.
Actually, this part is a bit of a myth, so to speak.tsb247 said:
It was originally thought that they only had a speed of something like 50 feet per second upon leaving the barrel, but when they used new testing equipment, I believe it was more like 300... but it is true that the ammunition's fuel supply fails to fire sometimes :|
