I should go buy a semi-automatic gun. I'd hate to be left defenseless.

[Lil Missy]

Gawd only knows mom can be irritating. I should get all liquored up and just shoot her. I could probably take a few others out before I get arrested. Or shoot myself.

I'd better get a gun. It's my Constitutional right, ya know.

[Danger Mouse]

1. Post that in the Gungeon. I dare you.

:P

[Lil Missy]

3. No! I'd rather get poked in the eye with a sharp stick!

[Forkboy]

2. Like that'll help you against my personal tactical nuke.

:eyes:

:P

[Lil Missy]

4. Well now see? One can't plan for every contingency!

If my name is on the bullet, oh well.

Hey, Forkboy. Take THIS!!

5. This type of post will be moved to the gungeon.

Seroiusly, it has no place in the lounge.

[RetroLounge]

6. I don't see a mod symbol next to your name

or a donation star.

So I guess you are just TSOL on this one...

:bang:

I just shot you for being annoying...

Isn't the 2nd ammendment grand?

RL

[wartrace]

8. Oh, sorry.

The problem is there will be a lot of debate due to strong feelings on the issue. Oh, I don't have a donor star because I am being laid off at the end of this month. Sorry if I can't justify spending any money at this particular moment, I have donated in the past when I posted under the name "WCross". I will try to find a job as soon as possible in order to satisfy your demand that I have a donor star in order to observe that this type of post does not belong in the lounge.

[auntAgonist]

21. hi WCross aka wartrace. All these name changes.

You do not have to justify your no star status!

Sorry you're losing your job. I hope things turn around for you and soon.

I'm living in fear of us losing our jobs here too. It's a day to day thing.

:hug:

27. For me it's a good thing to be let go.

I never would have left if I hadn't been pushed out, I hated every minute in the place. The only reason I stayed was the paycheck. I have never felt more relieved than on the day I was informed. Now I haven't a worry in the world, I can live on unemployment, I get two years worth due to the Nafta-Taa program & am going to try something I've always wanted to try but didn't have the time. (I'll let everyone know what that is if it works out)

I hope that you don't lose your job (if you enjoy it). Things are getting bad for a lot of people thanks to the hangover Bush left us with.

[auntAgonist]

38. I wish you the BEST of luck.

My husband too would not be unhappy to get into something new. I guess it's the unknown that frightens me so much. I used to really like my job until they started a bunch of strong arm techniques. Ah well, good luck to you in whatever endeavour you pursue.

:hug:

let us know how you fair.

7. Sorry. I'll be sure to check with you next time. n/t

[Deep13]

9. Just so happens I may be selling one.

Yeah, I bought it because I thought it was now or never.

A wanted a good target shooting rifle and this one came with a match-grade barrel and a removable rear sight so I scope can be added. I zeroed it in, but it on a bipod and it is no more accurate at 100 yds. than my .22. Sometimes it hits the 3" target. Sometimes it misses. Maybe it is just that I'm not used to it. Still, the trigger is stiff of a target grade rifle and its "heavy" barrel is still a lot lighter than a dedicated target rifle. Plus, being an semi-automatic means that it is a bee-atch to keep clean. With bolt action, it is remove the bolt, clean the barrel and bolt face and then replace the bolt. Done. 20 minutes to do a good job. Well that over-engineered AR15 requires these cleaning steps. 1. remove receiver pins. 2. Remove stock and trigger. 3. Rinse off trigger with Nitro Solvent. 4. Remove charging handle and bolt carrier. 5. dissasemble bolt carrier and remove bolt, firing pin, retaining pin. 6. clean bolt face and de grease other bolt parts. 7. clean chamber with special AR chamber brush. 8. Install special AR bore cleaning guide. 9. Clean barrel in the usual way. 10. Reassemble bolt carrier using special AR/M-16 oil. 11. Reassemble. Two & 1/2 hours. I wasn't at the range that long!

Well I'll shoot it through the summer. If I don't get any better at it, it will be time for a sale.

[Lil Missy]

11. That sounds like waaaay too much work!

If I ever have an intruder, I'll just throw the dog at him.

[Deep13]

13. Jeez, I can't use that thing for home defense.

Those bullets travel almost 3000 feet per second. Right through the burglar, the wall, the neighbor's wall and then the neighbor. Plus the jury will take one look at that rifle and think I just looking for an excuse to shoot someone.

[wartrace]

16. Depends where you live.

I don't have any neighbors but it is overkill for home defense. I think a shotgun is not only adequate but more effective.

[wartrace]

15. Thats why I don't own an AR15, I found a better rifle.

The M1a is easy to clean & fires a better round.

[Deep13]

18. Those are pretty cool.

I like the Garand-type sights. You can even hunt deer with them.

[MrPerson]

19. That picture just gave me a boner.

I need help.

[wartrace]

30. Maybe just lay off the viagra? n/t

[Tuesday Afternoon]

22. Hot Damn

Want!

[wartrace]

33. 1650 dollars (without scope or bi-pod)

Add 35 dollars per USGI magazine and who knows what they want for ammo these days........

I only own two rifles, both are the M1a. (An 18" & 22")

[Mugu]

29. I enjoy both my M1A and my M1A1 very much.

[Critters2]

12. Guns for everyone!!!

That way, no one will dare shoot anyone else! That's what they tell me.

[Lil Missy]

17. Come, we buy guns! Then get all liquored up and shoot people!

Yeah! :bounce: :bounce:


:eyes:

[MrPerson]

20. YEEEEEEE HAWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[JimGinPA]

14. I Sold A Lot Of Guns Last Year And The Year Before...

I inherited a shitload from my father-in-law, shotguns, rifles and pistols. I only kept one WWII pistol and the old shotgun I had before I got married. Had I known the wingnuts were all gonna go apeshit I would have kept them and made a killing now.

:cry:

[Chorophyll]

23. Yeah, because guns don't kill people...

people kill people. And people with guns kill lots of people, really really quickly, way before anyone can possibly stop them, even if they have a gun too.

And as we know, the Constitution is always perfect and has never ever been amended.

:eyes:

[old mark]

24. I'll gladly loan you one of mine.

Just clean it before you send it back.


mark

[Lil Missy]

25. Sorry, you'll have to work that out. It would be confiscated as evidence.

[old mark]

42. Then at least wear gloves, fagodsake...

I didn't realise you expected to get caught.



mark

[Lil Missy]

45. Details!

I probably wouldn't make a very good criminal.

But I wouldn't be dumb enough to call 911 in or after the process.

[old mark]

46. Then there may yet be hope for you

in your new life of crime.

[Mugu]

26. I have several firearms that I plan to sell this year

so I can purchase some camera equipment. The camera stuff would at least get used regularly, whereas these particular weapons have never been fired and just set in a safe year after year.



The simple fact is that there are many more effective and efficient methods readily available if one wishes to cause large scale mayhem. Firearms are only used by angry underachievers.

[Lil Missy]

28. That's a pretty one. A must have. How many bullets can you load in that?

[Mugu]

32. It's never been loaded, but I believe that it holds 10. n/t

[wartrace]

34. My favorite handgun model.....

I own two handguns and both are 1911's. One is a Kimber & the other is a springfield.

[Mugu]

35. I've always enjoyed the 1911.

I have several from various manufacturers. Some are old warhorses and others are of modern manufacture. The one shown above is an Ace.

[wartrace]

37. I've always liked the safety features of the gun.

Plus, it was the first handgun I ever fired in my life while in boot camp at Parris Island. (Yes I am an old guy)

[Mugu]

40. In my youth the 1911 was a bit out of my price range

so I shot mainly old single action revolvers. After a tour in the Navy (USS Constellation, CV64 (I'm also and old guy)) I had a bit more disposable income and started collecting. The warhorses haven't been modified, but several of the modern models have had the grip safety pinned and other mods in an effort to improve the trigger for target shooting.

[Inchworm]

31. Only if to shoot stray dogs and such...

They aren't covered in constitution.

x(

[wartrace]

36. I find them homes or adopt them myself.

This is the latest arrival on the night she showed up. She got along so well with my other five dogs that there was no question she was staying. One of my dogs was smitten with her, he is never too far away from her even to this day.
Her name is Lucy. You couldn't shoot a dog like Lucy, could you?

[Inchworm]

39. I could never

I was venting. Oops, I forgot the sarcasm smily.

Lucy made me smile, and that's enough for me :)

:hug:

[wartrace]

41. I knew you were, nobody with a heart could shoot an innocent creature.

Lucy is about sixty five to seventy pounds now but still a pup. She still enjoys clawing her way up on to my lap when I'm relaxing in the living room. I'm glad she decided to find my home when she was dumped, she's a sweetheart.

[SoxFan]

43. Pfft. Amateurs.

[Lil Missy]

44. Yeah! That's the way I kill people and animals in my yard!

:bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

[madrchsod]

47. no....buy a really big dog

[crim son]

48. By all means buy a gun, but to really ensure your constitutional rights

you're gonna wanna shoot up the gun store and kill the owner and employees once you have your weapon. It only makes sense.

There's a reason they call these people "gun NUTS", eh?

[MajorChode]

49. There's no nut like...

a gun nut, except for religious nuts. Combine the two and you have even bigger problems.
