In layman's terms this means the gun only fires like a civilian hunting or target rifle and can NOT be modified to fire bursts. I think I am gonna have to find someone that is licensed if I ever want to fire a true MG34. And some of the other rifles I am apparently hoping to one day shoot. Haha, oh well, such is life. Where there is a will, there's a way... | ||

lee enfield. guns seem like an expensive hobby though. Well a lot of guns tend to hold their value, especially shotguns. 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 | ||

Despite what most think that 20 odd mm difference is a big deal. | ||

I mean how do you think we defended ourselves against Native Americans, Wild animals, and European Imperialist. These threats have only recently gone away in the last 130years. Lol are you f***ing serious?? Even though I'm anything but pro- gunner or whatever I still can understand people who like to shoot at stuff. Let's be honest, all of us wanted to do as children after watching some western movies. It's just that some people give up on that because of some reasons and some don't. And yeah it's true that the number of gun owners in our country is awfully high because, unfortunatly, the vote about leaving the guns at a military facility while not needed got turned down. Still glad we got no big gun- exalting(?) associations around here. So the weapon that I "owned" for a few weeks was this: ![[image loading]](http://www.feuerschuetzen.ch/files/wys/users/11/Stgw_90.jpg) Stgw 90 | ||

Seriously, I wasn't even in the army, and I think that guns kill people if utilized by people, and that is a bad thing, but I do have a strange fascination for them, which is probably why I play computer games with a ton of guns in them. And I was member of the shooting club when I was 14, shooting air rifles at 10 m distance( I reckon that's about 11 yards, as 1 yard is supposed to be 91 cm, and a meter is 100 cm) targets of 2 inches in diameter. Which was kinda boring in the long run. So I quit. | ||

I've also sold a lot of my pistols (5 in the last year) because my gun-safe (Liberty-Franklin model) was getting full and I needed the money. Shooting is a great hobby with a safe and responsible following. We aren't the people who commit gun crimes. | ||

Sad people can't just stick to the original purpose of the thread and post more appropriate comments. Superior firepower in the right hands keeps the world spinning. Tbh I wouldn't call more than half that own guns the "right people". Thats what the government and people with training are for, protecting their people. If you live in a country like Somalia or Libya, I'd change my stance and say everyone should own a gun then lol. I know it's a right in our country, freedom to bear arms and what not. But seriously, people don't need to own 4+ guns, with semi-automatic rifles and shotguns that would put any police force to shame. I can totally see someone owning a handgun for protection but thats about it, anything else is overkill. You can't even use the collector arguement because these arn't baseball cards or stamps, these can kill someone with the pull of a finger. edit: its just a difference of opinion thing I guess and I can't comprehend the reason for them. | ||

My AK is semi-auto. It's almost impossible, like others have said, to get a full auto gun legally in the states. The .50cal is for long range target practice. The S&W 500 is a sick, sick cannon. Feels like it's going to break your thumbs and wrist when you fire it. To sum up what some of the other posters have said, I keep my arsenal for shooting watermelons, mangos, and coconuts, wild boars & gators, and personal protection. When you're trekking through the woods to get to a nice fishing hole, and have wild boars come at you, or have to fight for your catch with a 10ft alligator, you'd want a few weapons, too. Raising a family in Jacksonville, FL gives you a good reason to keep personal protection around. Sometimes, the police just aren't quick enough and bad things happen. http://www.clrsearch.com/Jacksonville_Demographics/FL/Crime_Statistics | ||

While I love shooting as a hobby, some of the things people want just don't make sense to me either. I don't see the value in buying fully automatic guns, and people who are fanatical about them tend to cause people to have a very negative perception of gun owners. | ||

Anyway, I've always been interested in owning a gun or two once I started getting deeper in my studies of economics and learning that we will never in fact pay off our debt, and that a second great depression is almost certainly inevitable. Every nation is going the way of greece, and eventually there won't be anyone left to "bail" them out. Call me paranoid but I can't really see modern america waiting patiently in soup lines like in the last GD. I can't read the future, but I believe in being prepared, which means learning some basic survival skills, having emergency supplies, and being armed. I want a very simple, reliable SA handgun that isn't absurdly priced. I was considering a CZ75b but if anyone can give me some feedback that would be great. | ||
