How many firearms do you own?

[Bodi]

Because I can and because I was a top competitior in several disciplines-international skeet, olympic trap, american skeet, IPSC, IMHSA etc

That is cool. But 100? Are many of them just mementos and such?

 

[Bodi]

1) I own lots of guns because there are morons who want to ban them and I have lots of family members to arm when we have to deal with those morons in a most direct and personal way if they try to go around confiscating honest peoples' guns. We might get hit with a Rodney King style riot too-best I be able to arm the neighbors so I and my wife and son don't have all the fun to ourselves.

2) I own lots of guns because they are good investments. I also own them because I am rather wealthy and I have no interest in cars, art work, expensive summer homes etc

3) I own lots of guns because I have won national, regional or local titles in several shooting sports-its sort of hard to win the America Cup in Skeet with an FN-FAL and my Perazzi Mirage or K-80 tula choked shotgun sort of sucks for shooting a military service rifle match. My Kimber Small bore target rifle isn't very good for a IPSC pistol match either.

Favorite guns I own?

The urban proletariat mobs goes on a wilding spree in my brother's city neighborhood-Red Jacket custom built Saiga 12 G automatic shotgun with an FAL folding stock H&K sights (imagine a top of the line AK 47 in 12 G shotgun wth 10 shot magazines). Federal tactical buckshot #4

10 shots in 2.5 seconds @ 30 lethal projectiles a round.

Medium game hunting-Remington "Mountain rifle" kevlar stock, leopold variable power (3-9) scope 308

Driven partridge (Britain) Pair of Ruger Red Label 28 G

South America Dove shooting-Browning 12 Trap shotgun with the tightest chokes available for the ultra high shots

Interesting and thanks for sharing. That is quite a load. Petty internet misunderstandings aside, if the government or some foreign power start up on the people, I would come to your house, if even only to support those that you give guns out to until I can get one for myself. I could pre-empt that and buy one now, but since I don't see Big Brother in the future, I don't think I will. But! I have actually thought about it in the past year. It is more difficult to own guns here, but I might look into it anyway.

Eleven or Twelve...and we have castle law here in Texas.

Don't bother me...i'm asleep...seriously.

 

[TurtleDude]

That is cool. But 100? Are many of them just mementos and such?

Mementos? some

the 45 Colt handgun My late grandfather carried in WWI (DSC, Silver Star, Purple Heart, Croix de Guerre, Bronze star)

The Colt Woodsman my late Father owned (his only pistol) he wanted his only grandson (my son) to have.

The 22 my father gave me when I turned 13. His 30-06 rifle he took to Kenya 4 times. A 22 hornet target rifle my late uncle owned (KIA WWII).

The browning A5 20 G shotgun my father taught his three sons to shoot skeet with. The 870 he gave me to take to Kenya in 1976. The SuperX winchester Skeet gun Dad gave me when I won my first collegiate title in 1978.

That's about it for Mementos.

 

[Goobieman]

Their constant attempts at imposing personal morality on others.

Like.... thru the welfare state?
Both sides use government to impose their moality on others.
Its rather disingenous to complain about something you do to others.

Their failure to recognize that the basic principle behind liberty is your rights to live you life they way you choose extends so far as to not impede another individuals ability to do the same.

Indeed.
My right to own a gun impedes no one.

Libertarians are consistent on the constitution, the rest of the right treats it like a cafeteria.

And the left simply ignores it most of the time.

So if i only have two hands. Whay purpose does limiting me by law as to how many I can own have?


As far as I can tell we still are more or less a free country.



Should you be legally limited to a couple surfboards, given the environmental damage each one contributes?

 

[Bodi]

Why are you asking me this?

As far as I can tell we still are more or less a free country.

What is the purpose of stating the obvious?

Why are you asking about legalities of owning "too much" of something?



It seems that you are misinterpreting what I am saying, or you are trying to make some point to me for some reason that I can't fathom.

 

[Saboteur]

0 - After witnessing a woman get shot in the face on my bus ride home from work, I don't ever want to see a handgun again.

details please.



I will reserve comment until then unless you dont address me.

 

[ReverendHellh0und]

oh and bhodi, your thanks exhibits an emotional reaction, not a logical one.

Handguns were made for killing people. Period. I wish they were all in the bottom of the sea. But since they aren't, and bad guys out there have them, I went and bought 3 for myself. :rofl A pair and a spare.

 

[Bodi]

No, it is quite logical. Please don't assume. I don't ever want to see a gun again either? Who would? Wouldn't the world be better with no guns and no killing of any kind? Yes. You are right! It would.

That does not negate the fact that this is obviously unrealistic, so I can "want" to never see a gun again even though I know that I actually will. See?

Please... Pro-Gun Advocates, stop trying to label those that disagree with you as illogical and emotionally driven, it is assumption oriented and boring.

:2razz:

 

[Cold Highway]

Me and my dad both carry a pistol and pack a huge survival knife in all of our cars. We also keep a shotgun in the house for when burglars want to drop by. In addition we have a German Shepard and a Black Lab, not firearms per say but good accessories to guns.

 

[Captain America]

I love Shepherds and Labs. My 2 favorite dogs.

Please then can you rephrase your point so I may better understand you? thanks

then perhap gun-grabber, you should be more direct in your responses instead of thanking anecdotals. :2wave:

Reverend... you want me to rephrase this? This is the comment that you challenged.

If you want me to rephrase why I would ask a question about why a person wants to own 100 of anything, then I am not sure that I can do it. It is a question about needs versus wants and nothing else.

Reverend

You want me to be more direct when thanking somebody for sharing a story? :lol:

Look Rev... do you even have a point?
You are assuming **** all over the place and then asking me to justify myself, and that is kinda retarded.

 

[Bodi]

Utopian idealism is illogical.

Have I said otherwise?

 

[Captain America]

You sure can. No doubt. We can "want" for anything we choose.

Reminds me of my ol' mama. She used to say to me, "Want in one hand and sh** in the other and see which one gets filled first." She is a feisty ol' broad.

Why do you post a lie like this? Why don't you CYA and say most handguns are designed for defensive uses against other people.

Yes, yes you did. Here's how:

In other words:

I am against guns because I have an ILLOGICAL bias against guns caused by a bad experience. But don't be a meany and label me as ILLOGICAL even though I AM! :roll:

Or even better:

The world would be better off without guns but I understand that such is impossible or likely is for a very long time. Nonetheless, I am against guns. But don't label me as an idiot because I want something that I acknowledge is impossible to happen. :roll:

What the hell am I supposed to think? Call a spade a spade.

 

[Captain America]

The first handgun made was made for killing people. The second handgun made was made for defensive purposes, (to protect yo' azz from the guy that bought the first one. :rofl)

 

[Tucker Case]

And the third handgun was made so that people had a handy way to signify when a race was beginning.

 

[Bodi]

Yes, yes you did. Here's how:

No, no I didn't. I don't have an illogical view against guns BECAUSE I AM NOT AGAINST GUNS! :doh

:rofl

Dude, don't be a doofus any further with this please.

What a person would hope for or want doesn't mean that they don't understand the reality of the situation or the logic that applies.
I understand full well the realities of the world, thanks though for ASSUMING that the other guy is an illogical whiner.
Perhaps you should reasses yourself before trying to understand others. Cool?

I hope that my daughter will live through the next operation that she has to undertake in a few months.
Reality is... she could die. **** me and my irrationality for wanting to hope for and expect the best instead of applying NOTHING but cold logic about what reality dictates.
So! IF I said to you only that I want her to make it, would you say, "Man, you are illogical and reaching for some utopian pipe dream and not accepting the logical reality".

Get real. :lol:

Lastly... I never said anything about not being labeled an idiot.
Is this another example of your inability to comprehend?
Emotional and Illogical. That would be accurate.

It is quite obvious that your assessment is idiotic and driven by little logic, so for you to discuss the subject is itself amusing.
Now, talk like an adult in order to not be treated like an little turd if you would like to be remotely considered as relevant.
Kay?
