Who said I was the one shooting them and my dad only needed one shot.
Yes I know what a Remington Jet is.(guns are a huge hobby for me) Most of my guns are ones I've got from dead relatives. My main weapons are my Remington700 cutsom built to the specs of my M40A4 I used in the Marines, That old M16, and my Colt Delta Elite 10mm. Those are stored in my bed room and trigger locked except for the 10mm that is my carry weapon. Your odds of killing me are not good not that you'd have a reason.

 

I own a machine gun it is a preban M60 my dad bought in 1981 it sits in the middle of my gun room as a safe queen. I have about 12,000 belted rounds for it. I probably have around 100,000 rounds in all. Yes it's all legal and I get a vist from the government about once a year to do a stock check. My finger prints and photo are on file along with a list of weapons. You can also buy granade launchers mine are a M79 and a M203. I love the USA! Also I'd like to edite my abouve post my rifle was M40A3 I hit the wrong key.

 

No wind up here just a few simple genuine questions.
Why do you, and so many others, NEED to have such a stockpile of weapons, 400 guns ? 100,000 rounds of ammo?
What is it that you are all so afraid of that you feel the NEED to have so many weapons ?
Are you, and others not being very paranoid for no reason? because I seriously fail to see any valid reason to have to have such a vast arsenal of weapons.
2 foot re-enforced concrete bunkers/come bomb shelters ? WTF ?
Why the hell would anybody NEED a rocket launcher?
I mean, come on folks, is that the life of a everyday normal guy ?
Why is it only Americans that go to such extremes ?
What is it that you are all so afraid of ?

I own "some" guns myself so not one of the anti-gun lobby and if some people wish to have more than I own then I have no problem with that.

I just fail to get my head around such extremes and cannot see a single NEED, the keyword is NEED if you get what I'm questioning here.

The only thing that I can think of is total paranoia and it seems America is the leader here.

 

as the owner of multiple firearms ....i have them because some belonged to family and friends, some were gifts, and i own a gun shop

i use safes to protect people from the firearms and ammo that i have

i have no need or desire for any style of grenade or artillery piece other than the firefly sitting in the yard

i have a bomb shelter because my area is a prime target for attacks and we also use it during hurricanes

 

Sorry it took me a while to get back to you on this one but I spent the day on the range and was cleaning my rifle (no joke. I had a really great day and got invited to a shooting match this weekend.) On the subject of registering firearms the way we do cars...The reason we register cas has nothing to do with safety. It has everything to do with raising money. Your registration fees go toward highway and infrastructure development. Its a use tax. As for the driving test, I am and have always been a HUGE proponent that shooting should be taught in highschool the way it was in many states through the 1960's. It wasnt until hand wringing liberals decided that guns were dangerous that many schools stopped teaching firearms safety and many schools had NRA sponsored youth shooting clubs that would compete up to the national level. Many of the countrys best Olympic (TM) marksmen came from the ranks of our nations highschool students. Many highschools had ROTC organizations as well.

Some schools allowed the shooting to be done in the hallways of certain buildings in the school after hours and bullet traps were used at the end of the hallways. Using this method students could practice indoors when the weather (rain, snow, -40 temperatures) made shooting outside impractical. And girls were encouraged to try out for many school shooting teams. I know people who lettered in shooting sports back in the 1950s.

As for the checkpoints...there have been many legal chalenges to that practice and the jurys are still out about the legality of them. And they dont realy do that much to cut down on either auto accidents or fatalities and injuries. What has had the greatest impact on fatalities in automobile accidents has been seat belt laws and the general improvement in safety built into modern cars. In the 1980s there were an average of fifty plus thousand fatalities every year. Thats down to forty thousand or so but the accident rate and the serious injury rate remains staggeringly high.

My favorite part is the formula 1 race car or the tank question. As for the formula one car, the reason you cannot drive one on the street is because they dont meet federal highway standards for lights, safety equipment, noise and emitions. Otherwise you could do it. As for the tank, as long as you post the required placard on the back, have approprate safety lights and a crew of at least two (commander and driver) it is perfectly leagal on the road as long as it doesnt exceed any weight, hight or width restrictions on that particular road. They are considered farm equipment and there are people who own them and drive them on the road from time to time. It is important to point out that some of those tanks are fully active with working main guns and the capacity to mount machine guns as well. Some even have machine guns if the owner is properly licensed and owns the right weapon.

 

guns dont kill

The attached is one of my favorites about guns

 

Heh, as usual with these arguments it goes on and on and nobody will change their mind, some on one side and some on the other and then those idiots that dont know which side their on...
Dont yall reckon its time to just walk away?
I say we send this thread out the American way.....
By having a beer and chanting "USA USA!"

 

Now that is a post and reasons I can fully understand.

Until i get to the bomb shelter part. Why the NEED for that ?
Who exactly are you a prime target for ?
If you live on, or very close to a military base I could probably understand that but then again WHO is it that you are prone to attack from that you would need a bomb shelter?


Hurricane protection I can easily understand.

 

1 nuclear power plant 28 miles away
3 coal facilities within 40 miles
the port of houston under 70 miles
the chemical capitol of texas(passadena) is 80 miles

originaly the shelter was built as a storm bunker but has been upgraded just in case
i do have alot of firearms and there are alot of desperate people out there willing to kill for anything
i didnt start the upgrades until i had kids so yes i am protecting them based on the worse scenario

 

You will fill your shelter with guns and food.
Too bad you will forget potable water and die of dehydration.

 

Why are you worried about coal facilities?
Haven't you heard about Clean Coal?
LOL

 

dipshit 60,000 gallons of water in filtered and treated water stored in 3 20,000 gallon USTs.......and if you dont know what a UST is it is an underground storage tank

and missiles dont give a damn if coal is clean
1 stray missle is all it takes

and dont say modern artilley is foolproof because guidance systems do fail

and puppy just face the fact that i know how to piss you off and you hate that so you get defensive and puff up like a lil pussy cat

 

I've done UST installations.
I also know that you don't have the intellect to coat the interior of the tanks properly for drinking.

Having done UST installations that can take heavy traffic, I know you don't have the structure to protect the USTs from a heavy truck driving over them, much less any kind of missile or artillery.
Besides, since your probably failed to vent them safely, you will get all kinds of things growing in your water anyway.

Thanks for playing!

 

puppy i also have worked in installing USTs for fuel use by state and private use so yes i do know how to vent them
also i didnt use steel tanks because the acid levels in the soil here tend to eat the tanks even with an epoxy shell
and i never said the tanks were fortified did i?????
showing you ass arent you

and for the info all it takes to withstand trucks is 8" of reinforced 6000psi concrete and 12" of peagravel or other compacted fill

to be honest you almost sound like that retard darrin we ran off when he left tanknology to come work for us

 

If Colorado allowed concealed carry then someone carrying a concealed gun in that movie theater could have whipped it out and blasted that motherfucker to Hell before he had a chance to kill all of the people that he did....

Gun laws don't deter criminals. They don't follow laws. That's why they are called "criminals."

The only guns that gun laws remove are the guns of law-abiding citizens.

 

ok 1st colorado does have a concealed carry permit
2nd the theater opted to disallow firearms to be carried
3rd given that holmes used smoke grenades unless someone was trained in that situation(darkness and smoke and panic) a gun wouldnt have helped
in a panic situation the best most untrained shhoters can hope for is getting close to thier target

and for the record i have never advocated the ownership of "assault" weapons by the general public and automatics should be disallowed

i do advocate certian restrictions on firearms and ammunition purchases but not new laws that stop legal and responsible ownership

 

I was wrong on one thing in my last post. I had assumed that the entire state of Colorado had been infected with liberal anti-gun nonsense rather than just Aurora. It turns out that there are just some dumbfuck cities in that state with concealed carry bans. Aurora is one of those dumbfuck cities. If you don't believe me...Google it.

If I were sitting in that theater when that bastard entered and began his reign of terror I'd rather have had a way to fight back---untrained or not---instead of being left a sitting duck with no protection by the liberal leaders of Aurora and their dumbfuck anti-gun statutes. ​

 

while i appreciate the words id rather take my chances with the moron

 

carry concealed

If someone in that theater had a carry consealed and had a gun on them the outcome would have been different. I have mine and usualy am carring my H&K .41 pistol and a little ankle holsterwith my Taurus .380 I can guarantee the he would have got about 5 shots off before I put .41 bullet right between his eyes. And would have been hero, but since its not allowed in co to carry concealed look what happened and possibly could have been minimized if some was carring, this is a perfect example of how gun control may have cost many innocent people their lifes.

Their is no way in hell the USA will ever have a ban on gun it would be the bloodiest civil war ever on planet. And its not the type of guns, my most deadliest gun is my Barret .50 cal and it is a bolt action and works just like a hunting rifle. But it can reach out and take someones head off at 2 miles. I have the exact gun he used ar-15 5.56/.223 (actualy several) and it is ment to be a "wounding" weapon. The thought is in war if you wound enemy and he is laying their screaming it bad for the moral of rest of enemy and its gonna take minimum 2 people to drag him to safty, so that's 2 less enemys shooting back at you for every 1 guy you wound, hmm.... I don't know if that is classified info or not can't reember.


Anyway what happend was terrible I wish I would have been their with a pistol.
My thoughts and prayers to all the people who are suffering a loss at this time.
God Bless.
