Yes making our own weapons woot!

All i have to say is this country is only around today because everyone had a gun when the British cam over here. So I damn well want to have one. The day they try to take away my right to bear arms that can equal that of the military i have to protect myself from, is the day i move to scandinavia.

Did u make that yourself?


Yep, I went as Anton Chigurh for Halloween that year, and that thing scared the hell out of anyone who knew what it was. My favorite reaction though was walking around the University district in Seattle, and having some brain dead frat boys ask me if it was a nitrous oxide tank, and if they could get a hit. Sure, just hold still a minute...

Sadly, it's just a prop, but certainly an interesting conversation piece. Of course, the conversations usually go something along the lines of "what the HELL is wrong with you?", but it sure does start them.

It is called Self Defense.

No, no, no, can’t have that. :shameonyou:
People can’t be taking the place of the police, judge, jury, and executioner, that’s vigilantism. A gun in the home is 1,000, 000, 000 times more likely to be used against a family member than an armed intruder. Besides, most people are at a disadvantage against and armed intruder. Gun owners are old fat beer drunken slobs who aren't competent to handle themselves, let alone a loaded gun. That woman in this case that shot and killed the intruder is a MURDERER!! !! !! !
Think of the children. :flower:

Actually, the reason why we have the right to bear arms is because a bunch of guys didn't like a bunch of other guys from across the ocean telling them what to do. Possessing tools for self-defense is just a fortunate by-product.

Ill say it point blank if some thugs break into my house and threaten to kill me in my own home and i have a gun I will blow their brains out and laugh about it then call the cops and tell them some stupid dips**ts broke into my house trying to kill me and I blew their brains out! And so the cops come by and let me know it was ok to use deadly force out of self defence and shake their hands and laugh our asses off together and have a few beers with them while they are off duty!

I understand exactly what I said. The reason we have the second amendment is because a bunch of wealthy, land owning rebels wanted to make sure that the British would have a hard time keeping control of the colonies, and afterwards that the British would have a rough go of it if they later tried to come back and retake the colonies. It was not created to fight off home invaders or to prevent any firearms regulations. That is just what the perception of the amendment has evolved into. It was intended to prevent tyranny without a vote, which is no longer applicable. It simply allows citizens the right to own and possess guns, nothing more (and nothing less).

Who is saying that anyone is going to take those rights away?
Any government takes advantage of its people. The powerful will always try to take as much as they can get without causing open rebellion.
And it isn't difficult for a "thug" to legally obtain a gun, especially if he has internet access and your credit card info.
I do live in the ghetto. I do own a gun (several, in fact). Almost everyone in my apartment building owns a gun. So far, no home invasions or violent assaults (except a few domestic squabbles), but they do like to go outside and shoot them into the air on most major holidays (including Christmas Eve for some reason).

Those things are not issues in other countries which are comparable to the USA but have stricter gun laws.

Governments are composed of the people. This is particularly true of the branches of the government which have access to weapons, namely the police force and the military. It is therefore very hard for the government to turn on the people.
