CaseJ beautiful piece your dad carries. Any reason he is using those sideslabs instead of something in cocobolo or similar? My issue would be with being slippery. Thanks.
I know the ppl on here are probably 99% responsible etc. No offence intended.
I can appreciate that ppl need guns for two purposes: firing range competition and hunting (tell me if there's some other purpose, self defense doesn't count, because what's the different between if someone kills you or you kill them? Still a gun related death). I reckon for either purpose, the guns would be best kept at some arbitrary (although secure) public place, like a gun owner's depot of some sort, with auditing of time in/time out, and you take the guns when and where needed and it's on record. This kind of warehouse would be best in industrial suburbs etc, not next to townhall :P I think there would be less incidents with kids in homes and crazy idiots taking them to public places with only malicious intent.
You have made your point but you insist on hanging out in this thread that scares you so much. This thread was started for a specific reason and you crapping on it will only get it closed so maybe you can try to act civilized and go away.
i never understood airsoft... or more specifically that level of airsoft gun... recently saw a half-decent looking airsoft K98k and it was $500 i spent $190 for a russian capture K98k
being able to target shoot in your own home whenever you'd like, with something that works very similar to real steel. Also airsoft games are the biggest adrenaline rush ever. Playing with magazines that hold realistic capacities in unfamilar terrain, hunting and being hunted by a human target.

it seems like an incredibly poor choice for close quarters defense, no offence. Just wondering why you use it when a pistol is much more manuverable in CQB.

why would I be concerned about the statistics of gun related deaths if someone is invading my home? Maybe gun related deaths disturb you, but there are worse statistics out there like vehicle related deaths, or impaired driving related deaths. How many people choose to partake in those activities compared to gun ownership?

read our constitution and laws sometime.
This thread was started by enthusiasts and people who appreciate shooting. We know our hobby in this instance (you don't)... we understand the implications of what we own (you don't)... we're responsible owners (you obviously aren't) and I seriosly doubt you have the desire to own one. Like vpivinylspinner said... if you don't care for it then get out of the thread before your actions get it closed. G****m man... everyone deserves and opinion but comments like yours promts angry responses and another thread goes entirely down the crapper due to an individual's complete lack of knowledge base. Quit it you guys... I'm tired of seeing disinformation ruin it... absolutely ruin it for other people.

I think this is a little harsh...Certainly, you and many other gun owners are responsible people, but just look at the murder rate here in the US. The problem is that there are lots of bad people out there, as well as ones who are just careless or stupid, and when you think of those people having arsenals like these...well, that's more than a little scary, and so I can certainly understand rincewind's point of view. It's a little harder for me to understand the point of view of those who say there should be much less regulation of gun ownership.
For what it's worth, I'd certainly like to learn more about this, maybe go to a range sometime. I've never fired anything heavier than an airsoft gun myself. Maybe when I turn eighteen...just a few more months...

definately check out the range, it is a lot of fun and you don't have to be 18. A lot of ranges are super friendly towards complete newbies, I've even taken my ex there on a few dates and we both had a blast. Try out as many types of guns as you can, don't just reach for the desert eagle or the m4 because they look good.
I have mixed feelings about this thread. Guns are a cool hobby but a lot of kids do read Head-fi and promoting guns to people under 18 is not really the best thing. Or maybe it is OK but it's a little sketchy.
But anway, nice collection of guns though. I would like to own an old World War 2 gun for memorabillia purposes but without the bullets.

Kids are exposed to guns on TV and in movies on a daily basis. Actually, they see far more of them and in far more graphic display than what they will see in this thread. Really, I respect all opinions, but why can't gun enthusiasts have a discussion and share about their other hobby/passion without all the criticisim? I'm not slamming you about your post, but it strikes me as odd that folks are so upset about this thread.
