EPTAnyway, I don't currently own any guns, but I plan on buying myself a sidearm for shooting ranges, possibly going to get a Baretta or some other full-sized pistol. I hope to anyway...

Probably the biggest contributers with guns getting into the wrong hands are shady gun shows and private selling that bypasses background checks. We could easily design a much better system to control gun ownership to those who actually pass the necessary checks. But them the liberties that we wanted, and now we have, so now we deal.  I have guns for fun and one for self defense. | ||

So even though the upfront cost is very high, it is pretty easy to sell them at a gain or very small loss(all of my experience is in shotguns and semiautomatic rifles) In my experience this is more so true of guns with wood stocks. More of a shotgun person myself, skeet shooting is a lot fun and I grew up grouse hunting a little bit. Also my personal favorite gun I own ![[image loading]](http://img826.imageshack.us/img826/7158/citori.jpg) Browning Citori This is a beauty. How much does one of these set you back? | ||

There are pictures of me at age 4 pointing it at my Kermit the Frog doll. It's pretty hilarious to look back at. A few years ago, my dad asked if I still wanted it. I said no, because I had it stored away and never really thought about it. I don't hunt. So, he asked me to give it to my uncle, because it would mean a lot to him. He's actually a hunter. So, I agreed and got the thing out of storage. It was actually hard to give up! It had some specialness about it, not only because my grandpa gave it specifically to me, but it also felt rare. Like, something not everyone around the globe could hold and understand. It's hard to explain... It made my uncle very happy, but I sort of regret giving it up. So, I did have a rifle, although I have no idea what model  wow that reminds me. my grandpa also passed away and he was an avid hunter. all his stuff got dumped into my dads basement which means he might still have it. neither my dad nor I was a hunter/gun collector, so that would be kinda funny if its still there without even us realizing it. | ||

I only own a 1911 at the moment, but my next purchase (already have the cash, just waiting for it to ship to my dealer) is going to be a Pardini .22lr target pistol. My Sig Sauer 1911: ![[image loading]](http://imgur.com/J5g05.jpg) The Pardini (I'm massively excited to get this): ![[image loading]](http://imgur.com/mqH6r.jpg) Also, nice over/under shotgun. I always had the ambition to get into trap shooting, so those guns always make me happy to look at. | ||

Holy weird batman... good luck with that pistol! Looks cool but way out of my price range for a 22 since I don't do competitive shooting. | ||

Looks cool but way out of my price range for a 22 since I don't do competitive shooting. Yeah, for the niche it fills, Pardini is certainly top of the line. And this type of shooting being something I've been interested in for years, I figured it was time to step up my game. | ||

Having said that I like this thread and there are some incredibly beautiful looking guns that have been shown.If they couldn't kill people, hell I'd probably collect them myself | ||

I collect Smith & Wesson Magnums. Barrels: 2", 4", 6", 8 3/8" Finish: blue, chrome, Parkerized, etc... Type: .357, .41, .44 Currently at 70 total. All safely esconsed in a gun safe at a nearby gun club. I enjoy shooting a few of them, appreciate the mechanics and worksmanship, and the different feel when shooting each variation. As some of you know I work the Emergency Dept of a Trauma Center... and no, I don't find it ironic that so many of my patients are gunshot victims... ...because just as the Stella Artois I'm drinking right now won't contribute to any drunk driving accidents (because I'm not driving anywhere), neither will any of my guns shoot anyone, because I use them both responsibly (oh, and not at the same time, btw). | ||

If you are responsible with your firearms they won't. And yes, Idra can kill me. While extremely unlikely, it is within the realm of possibility. | ||

I've been entertaining the idea to get my license for years now. Unfortunately that takes a bit of time over here and owning a gun is quite expensive. I do go shooting though with a co-worker and a friend who both own a selection. Oh yes to all the outraged Euros: It's legal to buy assault or sniper rifles in many countries of Europe as well. I know about France and Germany to name two prominent ones. Sure here is a lot of extra regulations and exceptions, but I have been shooting AR-15 variants here and AK-47 in France, and it's perfectly legal. Will go shooting a Sig 552 (?) sniper modification soon, looking forward to it. | ||
