    Thank you mystical shroom;
    This whole thread got out of hand and should be over in the gun control forum.The thread started out as someone posting something they were personally proud of.I posted behind him in a show of support,then the assholes came out of the wood-work.That is why I haven't been back to it,until I read your post.My biggest problem I had was the slap in the face to all veterns who have given their time and service and lives,in order for such shit to be expressed.That is all I am saying,except thank you once again.

    Nice pictures Insight, your input is much appreciated! :) Why does everyone have to be so negative and condemn what they do not understand? Or perhaps what does not interlace with their existence.

    I just recently took my girlfriend to the woods last week, to shoot and relax. I even bought a .22 for her to shoot, for the occasion. She realized it was nothing to be so damn scared of, being fearful of them initially, and it was actually fun!

    You are right. They are not used by the british, infact most countries have taken out this weapon from their stock because alot of new recruits were having trouble with calculating sight to target ratios (how to aim). I was lucky enough to use it in the special forces of Northern Cyprus, an island in the mediterranian where my base was located. The mechanism is unbeleivably simple therefor I could take the gun apart and back together in under a minute and blind folded under 2 minutes. I could go on and on about it but that would be boasting :) Real character of a rifle.

    As for the negative feedback from people, I really do understand why! Guns are symbolised with killing obviously but there are so many other ways a firearm could be used. E.g In a rocky mountain with no soft terrain I would wrap my rifle with my camo top and use it as a pillow :)

    I also go hunting, its a hobby/passion for most people as it is for me. However I am against people who buy or use firearms otherthan for hunting or military purpouses. I really dont see it nesessary.

    1. Why Libertarians Support Equal Rights for America's Gun Owners


    [​IMG]Libertarians, like other Americans, want to be able to walk city streets safely and be secure in their homes. We also want our Constitutional rights protected, to guard against the erosion of our civil liberties. In particular, Libertarians want to see all people treated equally under the law, as our Constitution requires. America's millions of gun owners are people too.

    Law-abiding, responsible citizens do not and should not need to ask anyone's permission or approval to engage in a peaceful activity. Gun ownership, by itself, harms no other person and cannot morally justify criminal penalties.

    Constitutional Rights

    America's founders fought the Revolutionary War to throw off British tyranny. Most of the revolutionaries owned and used their own guns in that war. After the war, in 1789, the 13 American States adopted the Constitution, creating the federal government. Before ratifying the Constitution, the people demanded a Bill of Rights to prevent our government from depriving them of their liberties as the British had done.

    One of the most important protections we have against government tyranny is that we are presumed innocent of any crime until proven guilty, before a jury, in a proper trial.

    But, gun control advocates would declare all gun owners guilty without trial, simply for owning guns. although millions of them have never used their guns to harm another person. Such blanket condemnation is immoral, unfair and contrary to the principles on which America was founded.

    The Prohibition Lesson

    Gun control advocates are much like the prohibitionists of the early 20th Century. By making liquor illegal, they spawned organized crime, caused bloody, violent turf wars and corrupted the criminal justice system. Today's war on drugs has exactly the same results.

    Prohibition didn't stop liquor use; the drug laws can't stop drug use. Making gun ownership illegal will not stop gun ownership.

    The primary victim of these misguided efforts is the honest citizen whose civil rights are trampled as frustrated legislators and police tighten the screws.



    Banning guns will make guns more expensive and give organized crime a great opportunity to make profits in a new black market for weapons. Street violence will increase in new turf wars. Criminals will not give up their guns. But, many law abiding citizens will, leaving them defenseless against armed bandits. The Right of Self Defense

    Libertarians agree with the majority of Americans who believe they have the right to decide how best to protect themselves, their families and their property. Millions of Americans have guns in their homes and sleep more comfortably because of it. Studies show that where gun ownership is illegal, residential burglaries are higher. A man with a gun in his home is no threat to you if you aren't breaking into it.



    The police do not provide security in your home, your business or the street. They show up after the crime to take reports and do detective work. The poorer the neighborhood, the riskier it is for peaceful residents.

    Only an armed citizenry can be present in sufficient numbers to prevent or deter violent crime before it starts, or to reduce its spread. Interviews with convicted felons indicate that fear of the armed citizen significantly deters crime. A criminal is more likely to be driven off from a particular crime by an armed victim than to be convicted and imprisoned for it. Thus, widespread gun ownership will make neighborhoods safer.

    Foolish politicians and police now seek to ban semi-automatic "assault rifles". They ignore the fact that only honest citizens will comply; criminals will still have them. Such a ban will only increase the criminals' ability to victimize the innocent.

    Personal Responsibility

    Guns are not the problem. They are inanimate objects. Gun control advocates talk as if guns could act on their own, as if human beings cannot control them, so the uncontrollable guns must be banished.

    Let us put the responsibility where it belongs, on the owner and user of the gun. If he or she acts responsibly, without attacking others or causing injury negligently, no crime or harm has been done. Leave them in peace. But, if a person commits a crime with a gun, then impose the severest penalties for the injuries done to the victim. Similarly, hold the negligent gun user fully liable for all harm his negligence does to others.

    Rather than banning guns, the politicians and the police should encourage gun ownership, as well as education and training programs. A responsible, well-armed and trained citizenry is the best protection against domestic crime and the threat of foreign invasion. America's founders knew that. It is still true today.

    4 inch barrel 38 special caliber revolver or similar in 22 L.R caliber "very cheap to pratice with also" and for a rifle a 22 caliber rifle is a excellent choice = by the way a 22 well kill you just as quick as 44 magnum with well place shots.
