Actually in some countries, such as Canada, anything over 500fps (like the $1300 Styer at 520+ fps) is considered as a firearm. The CO2 Walther is the Trophy model that has the nickel top and came with the red dot was around $230 and is around 420fps.

One of my favorite films is Bowling for Columbine, where there is comparisons of Canadian gun owners vs the American gun owners. Canadians are more nice than Americans generally.

An armed society is a polite society...

Do you realise how much disinformation there is in that movie don't you?

The only thing that Bowling for Columbine showed me was that Michael Moore can verbally attack an addle minded 80+ year old man without any reservations. Too bad the NRA didn't have a sharp-tounged spokesman there to embarass Moore and keep him away from the elderly.

Seriously, people who are involved in the "gun culture" are 99% of the time people who think first of protecting themselves and others.

Spareribs, you must live in a heavily populated city. If you get out to the country once in a while you might find concentrations of nice Americans.

Do you know what the Lama says: (pause) 'Gunga Galunga... gunga, gunga-lagunga.' So we finish the 18th and he's gonna stiff me. And I say, 'Hey, Lama, hey. How about a little something, you know, for the effort, you know?' And he says, 'Oh, uh, there won't be any money. But when you die, on your deathbed, you will receive total consciousness.' So i've got THAT going for me. Which is nice."

Of course not. You can't hurt people with headphones (maybe garrotting? lol).

No, I'm not amoral: Ideally said 'invader' wouldn't have access to a firearm either. But we know that's never going to happen, so moot point. :P

Anyway, some impressive (in some respects) looking implements shown on here, enjoy the thread!

You know although I agree that large cities tend to dehumanize its residents I believe we can still find nice people in them. Granted you have to look.
