amenicans and their weapons i’ll never really understand that. besides, best gun isn’t build in usa or brasil, it’s build by glock in austria, but believe it or not in here most people just don’t give a shit about guns and weapons. for us this whole “home protection” thing sound pretty ridiculous. but i don’t want to judge if i was living in the u.s. i probably would also have one, who knows.
Good for you, the thing is guns are part of our culture, something people like me grew up with, so dont be enthocentric. Just because you dont understand something culturally that is outside your box doesnt make it wrong, for christ sake i dont understand the Viennese waltz but you dont see me calling it a stupid waste of time.
I’m inclined to agree with arminoacid, America put too much importance in guns. Granted it in their constitution but even the interpretation has been a topic of debate over and over again. I feel some Americans take the Second Amendment too far and insist on owning every gun known to man, and in my experience have been tanked up white trash hillbillies. If you ever get lucky enough to be shot and survive, you may see it that way to. 45 hollow point to the collarbone, because someone wasn’t all that mentally stable.
I’m sorry your experience with Americans has been limited to tanked up white trash hillbillies, maybe if you had been armed you wouldnt have gotten shot, it’s amazing how much a calming effect a large caliber handgun can have on a person who isn’t all that mentally stable.
I own guns because it’s just fun to shoot the shit out of pieces of paper. Working on your aim and getting to the point where you can hit a quarter from 50 yards shooting a .45 one handed is quite fun too
1) So wait, let me get this straight. After the bullet kills the intruder…it DOESN’T need to go through the book case, two walls and your daughter’s face?…/sarcasm. Thanks for throwing something realistic up on here.
2) “When the government gets uppity” is a shitty response to owning fully automatic assault rifles for home protection. Where are you going to get all the ammo for this revolution? Surely if we have someone supplying us with ammo, they can get some decent weapons too.
Some for the best things for target shooting are fully charged TV tubes, (they implode-it’s very impressive), powder fire extinguishers with NO TOPS, not under pressure, but with some powder inside, (a puff of powder comes out the top when you hit it), and the all time best thing to blast at are STUFFED ANIMALS. They jump- shit flies out of them, and they just keep getting shorter. Great fun.
This is as bad as Religion.
That a section of the American Republic actually believes that their possession of a weapon will protect their freedoms.
The article was there to protect the People from the British reprisal / Return or a corrupt US Government. Does anyone truly think that a revolution is possible just because Jim-Bo has a gun stash? Give me a break. ftw -> Happiness is a Healthy Family and Healthy Stock portfolio !
Although I personally don’t believe guns = safety I think you should respect the rights of those here. I don’t believe anyone here is going to go on any kind of killing spree soon… hopefully…
Sadly 19 Children die a year from gunshots in the United Kingdom… which is pretty terrible. However there are 5,285 children that die each year from gunshot wounds in the United States (Centers for Disease Control/ Not sure what year probably pre-200)
I solve practical problems. For instance; How am I gonna stop some big mean mother hubbard from tearin’ me a structurally superfluous new behind?
The Answer? Use a gun.
And if that don’t work, use more gun.
Also how many times larger is the US than the UK? And we have how many more cities? With how many more gangs in them?
This whole gun debate in America is stupid. What are you going to do with your little guns when this terrible tyrannical government is coming at you with stinger missiles, 30mm cannons, hellfire missiles, and mechanized units?
I don’t think banning guns should be the answer. I do think a better solution would be to regulate and tax the shit out of it like they do cigarettes. Trust me, the IRS will come after the gun traffickers and get their cut!
Add a light to it an your GTG
Taurus makes some really nice pistols. I have the 38 special that they put out and it is a dream.
this is NOT MADE IN AMERICA!
I didnt know Ford had gotten into the firearms industry.

Glock is the best gun? Thats pretty funny, Gaston Glock was designing fridges then decided to make handguns.
Glocks are very decent pistol, with terribad ergonomics, and its missing a manual safety.

I’d say that most people’s reaction to getting shot and surviving probably involves them deciding to start investing in a firearm of their own.
Leaves your other hand free to play with yourself, good move.
@CMoorehead and Armino.
Ok, when your government gets corrupt to the point that you need to start a revolution then good luck using your steak knives and molotov cocktails.

An armed populace are citizens and unarmed populace are subjects
