Any gun owners out there?

[Dan S]

A bit off-and-on topic here. I ran across a great question on some firearms documentation I was filling out (damn you NJ). The question read:

List any scars, tattoos or identifying marks:

The problem was it was a line about 3 inches long.....So I started a list and continued down the side of the page. This considering I am not heavily tattooed...What do people do that are covered? Answer "Got a shit-ton of tattoos and such", then list one or two favourites.

I just tell 'em I have two...one on each arm.

Have had a CCW license since turning 21, current carry is a Ruger LCP, previous carries have been Kel-Tec P11 and Glock 27. Have some other toys too.

I didn't do that part. I refuse to be categorized by tattoos and such...

@slayer9019 , i had the same problem. I just looked at it a while and figured it wasn't that important for them to know. I hate this waiting game i have to play. I turned all my paperwork in months ago. gr.

Under guidance from my attorney I filled it out, and he said "it's better to not have to worry about lying on a government document."

It's probably overkill but whatever.

I actually just took inventory of my guns. I currently own 25 various rifles pistols and shotguns. Some of my favorites are 3 1911's, 2 M1A's, and an FN FAL I built myself. I guess I'm the crazy guy with guns.....

The last time I was.. er... detained against my wishes and formally booked, there were many pictures of gang member tattoos on the precinct wall... I asked like I was hurt.. "you don't want any pictures of my ink?"... they thought I was serious.

I will be 21 in a couple days and me and my Fiancé own approximately 6 firearms in our household. 4 of which are handguns. 1 of which i use for conceal carry.It may seem excessive to some but (Going to go hick for a second) here in Montana there is more Guns per capita than people.

Im hoping that this thread makes a comeback because 2 of my favorite things are Firearms and Tattoos!

(if you want pictures of my guns lemme know!)

[Johannes]

here in dark cold sweden the only guns you can own(as it seems)without getting in trouble are huntingrifles and such....

on the other hand we have less firearms getting stolen and going into wrong hands but...

Just got a browning hipower and my wife got a glock 19. I still NEED an m1a. Perfect rifle for all rifle needs plus give me a 308 over 223 or 7.62x39. Just a tad expensive to buy and I can't find one in any loal gun shops since people got worked up about semi autos rifles.

[Ducky15568]

NICE! How do you like your Hipower and how does she like the Glock?

To be completely honest, I don't like talking about firearms on the internet. It is too easy for people to keep tabs on you. It wouldn't be hard for someone to see your name and a post about owning a gun and find your address online. I am sure it doesn't happen much...but guns are tools to be used for very particular and purposful things. Talking about them like they are toys degrads the importance of them being a tool. I am very pro gun. I won't say whether I own guns or not, but I do fully support our 2nd Amendment and any and all hunting.

Guns are something that can be really fun. Don't take my above words as meaning they can't be something fun.

Hahah...look at this assclown

[Mike Panic]

Picked up a used Ruger Mark II Target in stainless with slab sides and a red dot. Still need to break it down, clean it and go to the range, as soon as I can find reasonable .22lr ammo. Walmart has been sold out forever and the local gun shows are charging a 100% premium on the stuff. Eff that.

[eisen777]

Keep tabs on me? My guns are legally owned and locked away. I don't see what's wrong with talking to other gun owners about guns. Seems like you assume people don't take gun seriously

[Mike Panic]

When will the ammo shortage end? Seriously sick of this crap. When cheaperthandirt.com is sold out of 98% of their .22LR ammo, things are in dire situations.

[MoistTowelette]

im glad i got rid of my 9mms and only have a 40cals 45s and 5.62s! i shoulda stocked up before the crazy price hike. they say there is no end in sight for the shortage.

Nice! i think 9mm is a garbage caliber anyways (just my opinion.) as for the shortage, its crazy. I can get ammo at near regular price but it still is becoming insanely expensive fast.

I prefer to keep guns a private thing. Just what I do. Not saying anything will or won't happen. I just want to be safe rather than open up a possibility of something happening. And, no, people don't take guns seriously. Maybe gun owners do, but not even all of them. The more people that know you own firearms, the more people you open yourself up to. I just prefer to keep my things private. If there is ever a point where we have something like a national registration or a gun sweep or whatever, I don't want anyone to know what I own. To that effect, I don't purchase firearms from any place that keeps a record. Private sale only.

Better start reloading. Cuts the cost a bit...

Ya know, I used to think that it was just noise, but I gotta say...

THE ONLY SOLUTION IS ANOTHER REVOLUTION

And it's gonna happen. Might not be tomorrow, but this country is toast. The America that I grew-up in is long gone, and the collectivists are intent on pushing through their vision of a new, "redistributed" world for us to inhabit.

Part of that is regulating the private ownership of firearms to the point that it becomes non-existent. Trouble is, when people start tampering with the Constitution, and attempting to limit the rights of American Citizens, then the "law of unintended consequences" will kick in. Basically, you have collectivists preaching that firearms are terrible, nasty things, that commit violent acts, basically without any human involvement.

To see just how far collectivists are willing to twist and distort the truth, look no further than the Sandy Hook shootings and their aftermath. Before the smoke cleared, collectivist politrickians were dancing in the blood of the victims, calling for a ban on evil "assault rifles". Much was made over the fact that "an assault rifle was used in the shootings". Well. Not so much. The shootings were done with a 9mm handgun, the rifle, which was legally purchased and then stolen, was NEVER OUT OF THE KILLERS CAR.

Now that's flat-out lying, something our collectivist overlords are quite good at.

So keep pushing, keep squacking about how "hunters don't need more than seven shots", and see what happens at the end of the day. The Second Amendment isn't about hunting, rather, it is about ensuring that Citizens have the tools they need to overthrow the government.

I'm not too bright, I'm not even a college graduate, but here's what I can very easily see happening.

The current regime passes laws requiring all firearm transfers to go through a licensed dealer.

Millions refuse to abide by these rules, as they refused to abide by Canada's long-gun registry.

In the face of mass civil disobedience, the regime outlaws the possession of certain firearms.

More civil disobedience follows.

The Oligarchs, sensing a threat to their legitimacy, send in the Waco Killers. Teams of ATF and FBI goonies confront outspoken gun-owners and arrest them, in the process, terrorizing their familes, destroying their homes, and brutalizing any who resist.

As this happens with more frequency, more Citizens resist, until finally their is a series of firefights in which heavy casualties are taken by both sides.

As the fighting escalates, the Oligarchs order their troopers to crush the budding rebellion, and they respond with increased brutality.

Oh wait! How can you be more brutal than burning 54 innocent men, women, and children to death?!?!?!?!?!!

Then the fun will start.

Now I'm no expert on the American Constitution. But even I know its a Bill of Rights not a Bill of needs.

[Dan S]

@jade1955, you're absolutey correct, sir, and you know what's totally freaking pitiful, the Bill of Rights was to a large extent informed by the Magna Carta and its' guarantee's of personal security and the sanctity of the home.

And they are both down the tubes.

Finally test fired my BSA Mk2 Martini Henry 577-450. The rifle was manufactured by the Birmingham Small Arms & Metals Company in 1887. That makes it 126 years old.

Some of the cartouche marks on the wood suggest it may of been part of the haul of arms discovered by the guy who owns IMA (Family Guns on National Geographic).

Commercial ammunition for this rifle ceased in the 1960s, although some does surface occasionally. So the only option is to reload.

The brass cases are available from a couple of specialist manufacturers. The ones I use are reformed 24 gauge Magtech brass shotshell brass.

Originally the cartridges would have been loaded with blackpowder and a paper patched bullet. However I have opted to use a nitro powder called Trailboss. I have also paper patched the bullets in the traditional manner.

Anyway to cut a long story short here is me test firing the rifle. Sandbagged and fired remotely. I was so pumped up afterwards I just had to fire a couple of rounds with me behind it.

These rifles last saw action during the Russian invasion of Afghanistan. United States Marines discovered at least three Martini Henry rifles from Taliban arms caches in 2011.
