But you can only hope they would've been carrying their AR-15s, for self defence, EH? Oh and btw, i dont give a shit about your red text op. Its just fucking crazy allowing people to have guns for any other reason than A) hunting B) self defence (a small caliber pistol, YOU DONT NEED A FUCKING RIFLE OR A SHOTGUN FOR THAT) C) sport shooting (small caliber pistols or rifles, or skeet shotguns)  | ||

Beyond that, the most compelling reason for me to stock up on firearms is to prepare for some post-apocolyptic/world ending/zombie invasion scenario. Cause its coming!! If I had a choice of any rifle, I would get a g36c because it looks pimp as shit. | ||

My cousin died in a drunk driving accident, I don't rage every time I see a car enthusiast thread or try to ban cars. Instead of blaming an inanimate object, how about using some common sense and blame the actions of the person responsible. That is quite possibly the stupidest comparison I've ever seen. Cars are not built with the purpose to kill people but for means of transportation. The guns shown in this thread are definetly not meant for sports or hunting either. | ||

Any "assault" style rifle you see posted on these boards owned by a civilian is NOT an automatic, its functionally identical to a hunting rifle, with a different grip. In fact, many people hunt with AR's because of their reliability and ease of use. Chances are everyone posting here is a responsible gun owner who will never hurt a single human being in their entire lifetime. | ||

Usually much better on an assault rifle or carbine than on a lot of "traditional" style stuff. | ||

As a big WW1 and WW2 enthusiast, that is a really cool heirloom. keep that one locked up bro, fantastic historical memorabilia. I don't own any but my grandfather has one of these. + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://i1107.photobucket.com/albums/h389/Clockwk/pistol.jpg) Ruger Six Revlolver, .357 Cal. Magnum He is retired and has a few buddies who are collectors, they go shoot them sometimes, he doesn't use it really for protection, just cause it looks cool and is fun to shoot at the range with his friends. He has let me fire it several times and it is really fun. I just think they are cool and can be a lot of fun to own and collect as long as you take safety seriously and make sure everyone that will be around it knows how to be safe around them. | ||

Haha funny you say that because i was actually thinking of getting one a couple years ago. I want some sort of cool older military bolt action rifle. My Uncle has an M1903 Springfield which is really fun to shoot. | ||

When the zombie apocolypse hits, all those 'forward thinking' anti gun countries are going to be right fucked!!! | ||
