I was referring specifically to your use of the term "cop killer bullets".
That entire issue is hooey, conjured up by those who oppose the free ownership of guns by the law-abiding public.
It was a LONG time ago that I quit the NRA, and since then the situation has gotten even further out of hand. The NRA uses their media to put fear in our hearts.
Antigun nuts use the media as well. Of course, there is always money to be made in duping the public, and both sides of this issue do it. Just because paranoia is a badge of honor among some groups, that is no reason for anyone take inappropriate action.
I know several supposedly well educated people who get together periodically and clean their little arsenals that they have for events that are never going to happen. They see evil and oppression everywhere. Must really suck to live like that, but I guess in this case ignorance really is bliss.
A few individual politicians, even a small group of them, may want to ban guns, but the great majority of politicians know better than to even try. Even they know that if you pass a law to ban guns, only criminals will have guns.
Hell, you might as well pass a law that says you can't cross our borders without our permission...oh wait....
 
Of course I do. If I didn't then how was I supposed to dispatch that rabid possum last month and the water moccassin last week without getting too close for safety?

I absolutely love your sig line, it is a thing of beauty and perfect for this topic.

swords work well for such things. A sword is a surer bet on a snake than anything short of a cylinder bore shotgun or a flame thrower
 
Flame throwers are completely legal, except in some localities.
I recommend the flame thrower for most situations.

depends on how much rain we have had

what was the Bond film where the baddies sent some serpent into Bond's bathroom to bite him and he flamed it with a cigar and a can of right guard?
WD-40 works better-I took out a whole red ant hill with it-stick the nozzle in spray and then insert 3 feet of cannon fuse

boom

Don't remember the bond movie but I love blowing up/burning stuff.
Is there anything more fun....:mrgreen:
 
Why in the world would I want to ever announce on a public forum whether or not I am armed or not?

well I would agree if you are posting under your real name

I guess if you wear a blue leotard in public with a mask you'd stand out and it would be sort of hard to pack heat under a skin tight bodysuit
 
Why in the hell would it matter?

Are you of the opinion that our anonymity on this forum is absolute?

I must appear to be coming across as parnoid I suppose.

I am just not one to broadcast my arsenal, or the lack thereof. ;)

As we said in the fleet, "I can neither confirm or deny."

So, do you think that if some dumbass from Bug Tussle was tricked into talking about his automatic arsenal or his hidden homegrown RPG's, or whatever, on a forum thread asking posters to reveal if they have access to weapons, or whatever, Big Brother would be unable to find out who he is just because he is using the alias of <fill-in-forum moniker here>, ?

1) if you brag about having say illegal machine guns, untaxed silencers, Strelas or Stingers, Mark IV fragmentation grenades or a Hughes Chain gun in a pop up console in your Hummer I suppose the federal authorities might get a subpoena and trace who you are

2) if you bought the gun through a dealer the FEDS already can figure out what you have. If they try to access peoples' IDs here after someone admitted they had common and legal weapons they might bet involved in a lawsuit known as a Bivens constitutional tort action.

3) true, some criminals can hack into these sites and possibly figure out who someone is. but there are two theories of that-you can keep a low profile and figure the baddies won't target you or you can publicly declare you are well armed figuring most of the mopes won't want to screw with you

What happens if you brag you have an M4 type weapon, and a new AWB suddenly outlaws it?

In the Clinto era when "assault rifles" were banned, if you had one before the law, you were grand-fathered. Now, with the Obama administration, all bets are off.

In NJ when they signed thier AWB, people immedietley became outlaws. :shrug:
 
I bought my 1st gun (a used .38 Special revolver for $200) a few days ago. I still haven't tested it out yet.

Dear Mr. Foreign Invader,

As you might have noticed, we Americans tend to shoot back. I know that locating and eradicating the weaponry from the local population is at the top of your list of things to do. Here is a list of some folks who own these weapons:

Also, In case you want to know where there is easy picking and your troops can expect minimal resistance, you may want to find safe harbor here:

These people do not own any weapons. If you're a crackhead burglar, this might be of interest to you as well.

I hope I have been of some help.

Yours truly,

:rofl they can invade america and come to my house there all they want :mrgreen:
 
No nation has ever successfully invaded, and taken, a large nation....at least not in the last 300 years.....
With all the firepower we have, we could not invade Russia, or China. Hell, we couldn't even take Vietnam !!!
