You guys in the US all seem deranged to us on this side of the pond. How's about you stop shooting at each other and become more civilised?

If it wasn't for those guns, we would all still be serving the Queen right now! ;P

LOL. Either me or my guns must be defective. I've owned them for going on 25 years and have never shot them at anyone. As for being civilized... well, I'm an Irish Catholic mutt that is house broken, which is about all you can expect from my kind.

Time to revive this thread!

Who's got anything new to share? Who is CA is confused by all the new (and often useless) gun laws?

You think there's confusion now.... wait until after January 21st 2017 and our new president get's to work on repealing the 2nd amendment. (How's that for reviving this thread?)

Repealing it would be too difficult. They will just try to find a way to litigate it into oblivion.

Thats assuming that we all comply as well.

If we get her as our President we again are going to see another exact copy of slick willies .Crime Control and Law Enforcement act of 1984 that banned the sale of assault weapons and a lot more.
Trust me she is going to do this very thing.

That's exactly what member "baggss" was referring to. The best we can hope for is to keep the congress as it now as a buffer. That's probably not going to be 100% effective but at least it will help somewhat.

Thanks, I went in to the Gun Shop to look at .357 Ruger BlackHawks. Got to talking to the salesman and he showed me the S&W, and it just felt right in my hand.

Nope, don't need any security weapons for my life to save me. I like to be free and don't want to keep myself hidden from the world.

These are dangerous times today one never knows when you will really need to defend your life.

No, I don't have any guns. Not part of the UK psyche (where gun controls are VERY strict).

Not quite sure how owning a firearm would keep you "hidden from the world" but ok.

So the answer is no, you don't own any firearms then!

Gotcha. I do understand gun ownership in many places across the pond is rare.
