i own one of these:
http://www.innovativetactical.com/ca...97o6l52t02.jpg and one of these: http://www.eliteukforces.info/images...high-power.jpg here is some spin from an article that has been floating around the internet for a few years: A Little Gun History Lesson - i know that is quite spun up, but i have never heard any other argument from an anti-gun person that refutes it.. I own the guns that i do because i am an engineer and am intrigued with how mechanical things work. A well made firearm is an incredibly intricate, fascinating machine to me.. just like a motorcycle or an airplane in my mind.. and i love to work on them and learn about how they work. they are also fun to shoot at the range. I don't take them to be a serious method of self protection, because i do not carry them around outside of my home, and keep them locked up within my home. If someone was breaking in, however, and i had about a 45 second head start.. they would regret the fact that they attempted to break into my house though.. but thats about it as far as my intentions to ever use them on another person. |

well my penis is small, so i know that it is an AR-15, a semi-automatic and therefor not a machine gun. You are right, it does look like an M-16 or M4 which come in automatic versions, but those are illegal for a civilian to own in the united states

I've flipped on this issue since last time Netphoria debated guns (what, like five years ago?).
I'm all for private gun rights so long as individuals undergo certification before owning. |

Maybe I've flipped just so Colin doesn't pierce my cranium with a hollowed-out bullet, though.

truth be told i don't really give a shit as long as there's a lot of difficulty involved in getting legal weapons.

dirty secret is that gun laws or not criminals are still going to get weapons
making them easy to get at stores only makes this worse |

Right - allowing personal guns only increases weapons available to criminals. This is the issue I've also keyed on, but have for whatever reason flipped sides a bit. I guess, mentally, I've concluded that criminals will no matter what be one step ahead so any protection is better than limited/none.
That, too, though has severe faults and flaws. |

I went into a Wal-Mart once where an old man was screaming about how it was ridiculous they wouldn't sell him a gun at 2:00 a.m. If anything it should be slightly difficult to legally obtain guns just so even fewer criminals can get them. The same amount of decent citizens will still get them legally, but fewer potential murderers will. |

I find gun fetishists to be tremendously gross though.
But I'm not going to deny their constitutionally guaranteed right to get a stiffy. |

Guns are dangerous and you should be very careful with them.

I really don't and I really don't give a shit.
There are three kinds of guns, handguns, shotguns, and rifles. The latter can become a machine gun if it looks like one. |
