But guys and girls, have you ever considered the destruction that would ensue if a rabid raccoon got a hold of an assault rifle!??

I doubt it's even the best choice for most people most of the time......
I doubt it's even the best choice for most people most of the time.
I don't carry on a day to day basis--I have mace with my keys and I know the basics of how to use my body to escape and defend myself.
I have a gun in my home but that's my choice.
The point, I think, is that it should be a choice.
Guns require no permit? At all? Seriously?
It is still on my bucket list to learn to fire a gun. Maybe I'll get to it this summer.
Absolutely you should, I went mostly out of curiosity and because it was one of hubby's things he liked to do (I was trying to do the 'common ground' thing) turns out I love it.It is still on my bucket list to learn to fire a gun. Maybe I'll get to it this summer.
I know guns can seem to be intimidating, but the "I wonder if I am going to get shot" feeling paradoxically goes down when there's a 1/2 a dozen guns in the cafe and an armory in the parking lot.
In my sneakers I'm just 5'4" so I'm shorter than all of them. I wear a cap. The top is a must in any case.Thanks for the apparel tip! The hat is probably still a good idea, although I'll likely be as tall as the men or even taller than a few.
This is, quite simply, the single most bizarre thing I have ever read on LIT.
And that is saying something, believe me.
You feel "safe" with a half a dozen guns in the cafe and an armory in the parking lot?
Interestingly enough, I manage to go out and about my business every single day and never worry about getting shot precisely because I don't have to worry about how many guns are in the cafe.
This whole mentality of guns making you so much safer literally blows me away. I know I said I was going to stay off this thread, but God damn...just...no words.

We were there once and some guy had brought his gf I guess. She'd worn a low cut top (bless her heart) and of course the first thing that happened was a spend casing went right between her boobs. She sounded like a scalded cat. Now I can sympathize to some degree but coming out of that top was not the thing I'd have done. (Well, brass that hot down my bra I might have.)
Where did you stay to have 'Roo poo all over the yard?
A firearm is a tool like anything else
Aaah yep. You'd have kangaroo's in places up there.
A "tool" for what?
and some countries have more tools
Number of guns per capita by country

The regulation of guns in Serbia is categorised as restrictive.
In Serbia, the right to private gun ownership is not guaranteed by law.
Applicants for a gun owner’s licence in Serbia are required to prove genuine reason to possess a firearm, for example, self-defence, hunting, target shooting, collection, and certain employment-related reasons.
An applicant for a firearm licence in Serbia must pass a background check which considers criminal, medical and other various records.
so where does that really place USA?Heck, kids are still finding weapons and bombs from WWII in secluded caves in my country, I am sure that doesnt happen in USA.
Maybe it should be for teaching me to keep my mouth shut!A "tool" for what?

If you owned that gun, would you kill someone with it?Killing shit. What else?
I own several guns and I'm absolutely in favour of gun ownership. However, I am not opposed to stricter regulations on who gets guns. I can literally walk into a gun store today and buy an AR-15 (assault rifle) with no wait. For you non-Americans, that's this:
Now, I've heard the argument, "Well, it just shoots 22s." That's true. But to can shoot like a million of those fuckers a minute. They are semi autos, but with add ons, you can make them fire 600-700 rounds per minute. Even without them, you can shoot a LOT of them. On top of that, they travel at about 1000 meters per second.
And as I said, I can walk into a gun store and walk right out with one of those. That's pretty crazy.
Again, I'm all for gun rights. I've shot ARs numerous times. They are fun to shoot. I'd own one myself if they didn't cost like a dollar a round or whatever they cost. I blew threw $20 in about a second. I just think we should use a little more common sense regarding them.
If you owned that gun, would you kill someone with it?
(that is meant as a sincere question, not sarcasm)
