I'm not sure guns are worth it alone to go to the US. At least, as things are now ...

Aleksander MajjamWho are your top 3?

Ian, Brandon and Scott :p
(sometimes it feels sad that I don't live in the US lol)


Yeah. Those are good ones right there.

Here's my two lovely ladies. For a Marine, my stock is pretty small. but still.

Sig P320 strike fire w/ textured grip and apex flat trigger. Reduces the pull weight substantially. The other is my custom AR. AP lower w/ textured grip. GA mod rail with GA double charging handle. Vortex 1-6x24 optics w/ with both front and rear 45 flip iron sights. Adjustable buttstock and last, but not lest, SF Socom for that pesky muzzle flash. Both are just great shoots.

Looks awesome nonetheless. Being experienced enough to know what exactly you like is a good thing too. :p

Nice ones, but what everyone forgets It's not the weapon what matters. But who's holding it and what's in his head? And i don't think it's necessary to say a word more, about this. We all seen what's gone down and this matters and rest assured none of it was a coincidence.

About the rest, i was though of it to move out, but the thing is by the look of it, to west from us everything turned shite.

No doubt here in the US we have our fair share of idiots with guns. I love guns and have been around them for a very long time, but I am in the minority that it should be much, much, much harder to own weapons in this country. Things like age, background, and formal training should be just a few of the bare minimums.

There's one incident that will ALWAYS stick in my mind when it comes to gun idiots. I remember seeing this lady's page on facebook with a foreshadowing title: Jamie Gilt for Gun Sense. She always bragged about guns, shooting guns, protecting her family with guns, bragging about her kid shooting guns. Here's an excerpt.

That's when the 4-year-old began to spin the yarn about what happened on that day in March as Jamie Gilt drove along in Putnam County. He unbuckled his booster seat, hopped down on the floorboard, grabbed his mother's pistol from under the front seat and shot her.

"My right to protect my child with my gun trumps your fear of my gun," Gilt posted in February.

There was a comment she posted the day before the shooting, when she explained that all her children shoot and how her 4-year-old "gets jacked up to target shoot with the .22."

Yet again, it's not the weapon but who holds it, and what's in his heart and mind. Reason # 1 why anything like this never be did for the first time. Another case where my first opinion was the last one. And the fact what sort of peoples want unrestricted access to weapons? It can only get worse than this example, and sure as hell no weapon ever be allowed anywhere close to a kid. Too much of a danger at someone's hands whom unable to comprehend with what he's toying with? And a young child? Cannot.

And also this is the point where i drop this conversation. Nothing can be said what wasn't been already said, nor there's any way to avoid this conversation become inflammatory.

Well, I still can't see anything that goes against personal firearms 'as a concept' in this story. He found a pistol because it was an 'adult thing left unattended and accessible for a child'. It could've been a knife, or a hammer, or some sort of other perfectly mundane household item that a kid can harm self or others with, because kids of that age normally lack any understanding and common sense. I don't have kids and I'm pretty much awful at parenting, but I guess that parents should be responsible for creating an environment suitable for their kids, so that nobody gets hurt. Giving a 4yr old child a real gun is just beyond stupid, if you want to teach them how to shoot and handle weapons, there are lots of toy guns, low-power airsoft guns, etc. on the market these days.

The bottom line? The best argument against absolute freedom of whatever is the ones wanting it. And sometimes not just 5 a minutes conversation more than enough to know where we are standing at, but a single sentence. After which? I just cease to care about anything else leaves their mouth how they trying to prove their point. One. sentence. of. this. stupid. one. sentence. way. too. much.

And a freedom of trying to make your words sound 'final' goes there too. ;p

i afraid i just don't care about what peoples think of it how they take it. What i said means exactly just that, they can take it granted i act according to this. and they have no control over this.

Anyways? Some peoples reason enough to make the fallen angel reconsider his life choices... So much about this.

PFT. That story was meant to be 100% funny, lol!

I mean, it is to me at least! A person with "Gun Sense" as their FB title page, but then having no sense whatsoever to secure a weapon that your child can get to and then get shot by the same child that you talked up your post as being hyped up to shoot. Then, if you take a look at what happened down the road, for extra laughs, this woman said that she will start teaching gun safety courses.

There's some sadness to this story, but sorry not sorry, I totally make fun at this woman's expense for the sheer amount of karma and idiocy coming out of this whole story.
