My sister was sitting in the passenger seat of a car where a guy came up and put a Glock 40. to the head of the driver and pulled the trigger, the bullet jammed in the chamber. Lucky thing too, a 40 cal. bullet would have gone through the drivers head and hit my sister, and Glocks are known for never jamming. And the whole thing was over a small time deal where someone thought they got stiffed.
I also have a friend who had a sawed off shotgun shoved in his face because he tapped on the wrong window (thought it was his girl friends but it turned to belong to her less than sane brother).
Lots of crazies out there, and I’m willing to bet most of them are armed.
My Uncle in the US has a top gun collection. H&K UMP .45 taking pride of place. Beretta too... woot.
Glock Jammed? Fucking lucky! There are lots of nuts in the US with guns... people shot in road rage incidnets ffs! Gun control is so lax... I think as I said there should be a test for whogets guns... but how to determine who is sane and not? IQ test would be good... don't want the simples getting armed eh? But plenty of intelligents are nuts... thin line between intelligence and insanity is true statement.
Ah well. I want an AK. And a Tokarev. And an RPG-7 And an M60. w00t w00t. And an M79.
Eeh. I might be mad!
the AK you could do though, hell you could even do it legaly if you lived over here.
I have seen an M79 and an Box of Disposable RPG's on Auction Arms! Admitadley the RPG's has been a one off. Only beaten by the RPG 7... haven't seen any on there post 9-11 though, which is a bummer! Bet they cracked down on such things after that. NEVER seen an M60 for sale, are you allowed them?
So my list is realistically:
AK-47
M79
Tokarev
If I can, I might move to the US one day. And own guns. Yup yup! Then I can meet you and we can have a drink someplace? I might buy myself some land in TX and a trailer and be a redneck Ah, the life.
and you would come to know of the wonders of Budweisser beer (pee in a bottle)
We have that here. They import it for some reason! I'll make sure to bring a load of John Smiths bitter with me!
Edit: Ooh, would the US autorities let me keep one of these if I bought one? :

:crying: Poor old Jets though. They did rather own and scare you Americans! Ahh... another amazing Jet reaches its end. I hope some folks maintain a functional one instead of let them rot like the SR-71's do.
Strictly speaking I think its homocide rates, crimes like burgulary are a lot less in the US (there's a big deterrent to burgle when in Texas you can be legally shot just for scrumping apples)

Death penalty for burglary- that sounds very fair doesn't it?
As a side thought, funny how those who see nothing wrong with murdering a human being for trying to do away with your video recorder are very often the very same people who see themselves as god-fearing devout Christians.
Im not! Personally I'd aim for his scrote. Bastard theiving my stuff! That'll learn him.
Nah... I'd probably not shoot a theif, just knock him out with something. However, if the theif was armed, as many in the US tend to be, with easy gun access.... that is another matter! Do remember that. EVERYONE has guns. The theif would be an idiot NOT to carry one.
Don't forget the police can now due to terrorism.
So, let us recap:
"Political power comes down the barrel of a gun"
- Police are armed - working on behalf of government
- Criminals are armed
- General public cannot even carry a knife above 3", let alone a gun.
Well, we're fucked.
