I cannot imagine the recoil on the Barret .50. I can imagine firing one will probably hurt like a mother fucker.

 

those "pig haters" are actually becoming the minority. they are just so damn loud.

 

on alot of them you have to stake the stands into the ground.

 

I don't understand, what do you have to defend? I mean, the majority of people never use their guns so why even have one for that reason?

Chances are, the people you piss off and you're going to shoot will have a gun too, if not, then you need to learn how to fight.

It's just stupid, I mean, the more guns, the more accidents, the more problems. If you're hunting or use it as recreation, all right, ok I understand. But self defense? If you're going to die you're going to die.

I'm not "anti-gun" i'm just "anti- lets carry a gun around just-in-case." Be careful, seriously. (I know this won't change anybody). People think pulling a gun out will keep them from losing their life and that very gun is the thing that kills them. The act/react, think later thing- is what puts people's lives in the target.

 

most of them have muzzle brakes/compensators that absorb most of the recoil, putting it on par with a .308 rifle or 12ga. shotgun. The M82 semi-auto is even more user friendly because of it's recoil operation.

 

Your life. If you were about to be robbed by a big man with a knife on the streets at night, would you rather:
1) Talk to him and try to get him to stop,
2) Have a knife and take your chances, or
3) Have a firearm and ask him to please leave. NOT shoot him, unless he is hell-bent on attacking you. The simple act of pulling a gun and verbally warning is usually enough to stop an attack with no-one being hurt, and also usually enough to detain the attacker until the police arrive.

I have 13 rifles, ranging from a 120+ year old Vetterli-Vitali-Carcano to a vitually new (6 year old) AK-74. I fire them often. I have yet to kill someone, to sell one to a drug dealer, or to have a kid shoot himself with one. On the other hand, if someone breaks into my house, they WILL be looking down the WRONG end of an AK-74 rifle, and they will be until the police come to arrest them.
Don't forget, most criminals, even those with a firearm, do NOT want to kill you. They just want your wallet, your car, etc. and when they find a firearm pointed at them, they will run or stand there all confused while you LEGALLY shoot them. It is our AMERICAN RIGHT to self defense. I know how to fight, but why bother when a firearm can easily save the effort and prevent harm to me?
No, stupid people cause accidents. If an owner isn't resonsible enough to lock all of their firearms away from the underage, untrained, or just ignorant, it is going to cause problems.
You fail to understand the concept of licensed conceiled carriers. To obtain a license, you must take a speciallized class dealing with the conditions of use and what to do if need be. If you don't understand the process and usefullness of a conceiled carry license, please do not protest against it.

 

Well, I know how they are obtained, my mom has a 92FS, of course it's locked up. But, if I was attacked, I'd give the person what they want. My personal belongings aren't worth it. And, if the person got offensive, I've learned how to fight people open and close handed. I didn't fall off the beat truck.

 

92FS = VERY nice firearm. She has good taste.

 

Why did you buy an AK-74 instead of an SKS or any other AK-47 variant?

Was it because of the Brady Bill or...?

My father has one heavily modified AKM. Yes, he has the right to own it, because the Brady Bill does not ban AK variants that you bought before the bill was passed. He machined all of the internals, and pretty such fires so damn smoothly.

Great thing about it is that he hardly cleans it. I would say he cleans it once every six months and even then, it fires well.

 

I bought an AK-74 because of it's calibre, 5.45x39mm. It is covered by the same laws that cover the other 5.45mm, 5.56mm, 7.62mm, and 8mm AK rifles, however mine is post-ban (not grandfathered, imported after the '89 Bush ban and the '94 crime bill) and thusly modified for legallity. I already have 2 Type 56 SKS rifles, and one SKS-M (factory modified to a 16" barrel and takes 7.62mm AK magazines )

Next in line is a 7.62x39mm AKM.:thumbup:
