View Full Version : Gun control, good or bad?

Well lets offically hear it.
I'll start us off.
To offically shoot down that guns are the leading cause of death in murders is insane, and incorrect.
Guns, first off, do not kill people. People kill people. A person has to make a concious decision to pull the trigger in order to murder someone. Now some may say that giving someone a gun constitutes a means to kill someone, while this is true, people would kill others regardless. It takes alot of effort to go through the whole process of aquiring a gun, learning how to use it, and aquiring the money for it. Now one could just as easily take some fertlizer and deisel fuel and make something much more destructive than any gun. If someone wants to kill someone else, having a gun will not stop them.
Secondly, it is our constitutional right to bear arms. Point therein itself.
Third, if there were no guns, it would make people in the US who rely on hunting as either an income or a source of food have a very hard life.
If you even think about banning firearms, then you might as well ban cheddar cheese, because cholestoral is the leading cause of death in America.
Now while I do think that we have a right to bear arms, and that right shall not be infringed, I do think that there are some reasonable restrictions that can be made.
First, nobody needs to own a fully automatic weapon. The point of those is to lay down supressive fire in a time of war, not for killing a deer or protecting your house.
Second, I think it should be manditory that all pistols either A) Have a trigger lock, or B) be unloaded when a child under the age of 16 is around.
Third, I think it would be a good idea to require a mandatory gun safety class before being able to purchase a gun.
There you have it, most of my ideas on it.

Gun control in Australia sucks, you can't even own a crossbow without a license!
At least we're still allowed semi-automatic rifles, although its fairly hard to get a license for them. Pistols are still ok, but you can only have 10 rounds per clip at maximum!
Stupid anti-gun lobbyists and Port Arthur phsycopath...

port arthur... port arthur.... Where have I heard that before?
Ghillie
People take it that the gun causes death because it's what the person uses in order to intentionally injure or kill another, and we've grown accustomed to that; whenever we see a firearm in someone's hand we think to ourselves 'Watch out, he's got a gun' because a) it is dangerous when not handled properly, b) we've seen many shooting rampages on the news, mostly in the United states, and c) it is a weapon. Gun control? Limit it but banning guns alltogether would be rather unusual.
ghilliemarine
01-08-2008, 03:33 AM
Limit it how though? Automatic weapons are already limited and that seems to be pleanty.
Ghillie
Well, for an example like your suggestions; the gun must be unloaded when around children under the age of 16, except if needed they could limit it even more if they ever need to.
ghilliemarine
01-08-2008, 03:41 AM
Yes, putting some restrictions on how you handle the guns is ok, so long as it doesn't infringe on the right to own and use them.
Ghillie
Hmm yes good point there; anything that doesn't affect owning a firearm as a whole would be good.
Handling restrictions such as having a limited number of rounds in a clip? Age restrictions? Openly showing it in the public? Anything like that...

if guns get taken away then pretty soon crossbows and giant machedes will take their place and people would still kill people. i could see more violence coming from this rather then stopping it.
also, is anyone for the backround check?
That's true, not only does restricting ownership of a firearm do more damage then if you allow them, but look around - there are still a wide range of weapons and people will substitute to them.
ghilliemarine
01-08-2008, 12:41 PM
Background checks are always a good thing. Also we have reasonable age restrictions and restrictions of showing it in public. As for the ronuds in the clip, I don't believe that is any of the governments business to control my ammunition. Yes we have a national gaurd, but what I want to have my own pretection from the government? That is what the people who founded our country died for.

Ghillie what makes you so sure they didn't Mean Bear Arms. As in an actual Bear. We have the right to have Bear Arms in our house. LOL. maybe
I say no to background checks. Just because someone made a mistake doesn't mean they get a right taken from them. Well, unless said person was arrested because of a gun related felony.

I fully agree with you ghillie, except that part about fully automatic rifles. I soemtimes go to the range and get to fire a wide variety of weapons, including fully automatic weapons.(Friends with the Police Chief) BUt eveything else makes perfect sense. Gun safety classes, and they should change it form owning a long gun at 18 and handgun at 21 to handgun and long gun at 21.

Good lord ghillie, I swear I you just posted my exact thoughts on this subject. I agree in every way possible. We don't need class III weapons. I own them and love them but from an honest perspective I honestly don't NEED a suppressor, their just fun. Amen.
Yeah Ghillie you pretty muched summed it up for us - IT'S FINE THE WAY IT IS!
ghilliemarine
01-09-2008, 02:26 AM
Hummm... damn... everyone agrees with me for one, that's a first. Haha.
Ghillie
Well yes because a) it's fine the way it is, b) I don't see people going around firing off rounds for no apparent reason and c) there's still alternative weapons and banning guns will result in people resorting to them.
So it's all good, not sure why whoever proposed it would want to put even more restrictions on firearms.
port arthur... port arthur.... Where have I heard that before?

Back a few decades ago, some phycopath in Tasmania (at the bottom of Australia) went out to a deli with a semiautomatic high caliber rifle and started blasting the shit out of people. he killed dozens and eventually borded himself up in a house and killed himself. That is one of the reasons why Australia has such tightass gun laws.

Do you even know why the U.S has the lowest crime rate? Its because of gun control of why we have the lowest crime rate. I mean just think when a robber trys to rob a store, and with the constitution saying gun control in the U.S is allowed just think that the robber could possibly be stop because the clerk has a gun on him/her. Or how about that lonley girl in an alleyway with no one to help, but thankfully she has a gun on her and the guy who trys to rap her right then and there won't because she'll pull a gun on him. Therefore stopping him from doing so.
I mean just think of third world countrys that don't have gun control and thier crime rate is through the roof. You want to know why? It is because the people in third world countrys can not defend themselfs in various situations as rap/murder/robbery/theft/ect. Because you know that the police aren't there all the time, that would be impossible. :) , I hope you all just relize my points on this H3B's thread about gun control.

teh other problem about 3rd world countries is the level of tech there, they either walk around with nothing or AK47s...you kno?
Did you know that america has the record for the worlds youngest school shooting?
a 6 year old shot another 6 year old with a pistol he found at his uncle's/grandpa's house (not sure which), and she died a few minutes later. a week or so later, the NRA held a massive pro-gun rally in the same town, just as they did after the Columbine shootings.
As long as they dont take away my right to own a pistol, i'll be happy. I've seen a glock be turned into a sort of Carbine/machinegun, which emptied two drums of bullets in a few seconds. fucking amazing!
Wow HEX swore :D
Aiming at Borah's post above:
So you're saying that all kinds of defense should involve a gun? Is that supposed to be a good thing or bad thing?

O.K then but what about the parent who had left the gun out, you really think that is gun controls problem, I mean wouldn't you think that is the parents problem. So my point above would still have to stand about gun control, being a good thing that we should always have in our country. I mean anyone who went through everything to get a consild weapons license is not to likly to shoot someone out of mad rage. The people who shoot other people do it illegaly. :)

I agree with you guys. you have the right to own a gun just like we have rights to own swords, daggers, kitchen knives, and even pocketknives! all of these are tools and weapons but they are allowed. if you want to take away a gun, you may as well take away every chef's kitchen knives.
Or take away Krieger's hunting season...
Or take away the pistols the cops use and turn them into useless law enforcers...
Or take away ever soldier's gun so they run around in Iraq not knowing what to do because guns were banned...
See the backlashes?

you would have to take away lots of things because anything can become a weapon. knives are tools to make lives easier but they can also be used as a weapon. pencils are tools of creativity to write papers, draws pictures but they can also be used to stab classmates. you could even ban long fingernails. the list is endless.
but seriously, how would a nailclipper bring down an airplane?
they are banned from airplanes, and i dont know why. it is stupid.
terrorist "hey, you are under attack, i will cut off your nails if you dont obey us"

01-20-2008, 04:36 PM
because you could have a blade on there...anyone seen the ones with the thingy u use to clean under ur finger nails? you could sharpen that up...umm and as for gun control, just look to japan. it is literaly impossible for a civillian to get a gun, and thus they dont have guns. so if america had done that from the begining, then we wouldnt have all this trouble...and yes we all know u have ur rights, but do those rights allow you to blow the head off of your next door neighbour?? no i didnt think so.
thats a good point. also, look at Canada. they have millions of guns, because they go hunting a lot. there are plenty of 'gun nuts' in Canada, and yet only a few hundred deaths from firearms per year.
America, millions of guns, lots of 'gun nuts', yet they have thousands of deaths per year from guns!
Australia, we have gun restrictions (no full auto rifles, no semiauto rifles of a certain calibre, no pump action shotguns (i think) and certainly no SMGs), we are not gun nuts, and we have less than 100 deaths a year from guns.
solution! be like us Aussies!!

And azn, you're quite right, this thread has sort of turned into "well, lets see how many variations of the same idea we can post before it gets boring"
So yeah, unless someone comes in saying "aww but guns are so cool we should all have Kalishnakovs!!" this debate is pretty much over.
It will be summed up following my incoming post...
These things should stay, nail clippers (I love that story you made HEX :D) plastic bags, knives, pretty much any kitchen appliance; If any of these are banned God knows what will happen next, and it would be a bit overboard to take such actions.

Gun control = Bad.
The only exception is full auto weapons, those should be kept for military and law enforcement ONLY.
As for me (and I'm a gun-lovin' hillbilly), I like my guns. And, if the government tried to repeal the 2nd amendment, making it illegal for me to have my guns, I'd be pissed. Along with every redneck, hunter, and NRA member in the nation.
Guns can only be controlled so far. Even if a person cannot legally have a gun, they can get one. How do I know? I own two guns, at 16; a shotgun, and a rifle. Both for hunting, mind you, but I own them which is technically illegal.
I know the following things are illegal to own in the U.S.A.: Full-auto rifles/pistols (by pistols I'm referring to the Glock 18, SMGs, and rocket launchers are basically all that's banned. You can own semi-auto rifles, shotguns (pump, break, and auto), pistols, anything basically.,
And, one last point, I hate it when people group Americans together. I don't like being compared to some gang-banging thug in LA just because I own a gun, and love my guns. I say love my guns, because when I turn 21, I'm buying myself 2 pistols,and by that time I'll have another shotgun, and a muzzle loader. So, just because I have (or will have) some 6 or 7 pistols doesn't mean I'm gonna go out killing things...Well, things is incorrect. I use my shotgun and rifle to kill deer, squirrels, that kind of stuff, but not people!
Bountyhunter05
01-22-2008, 10:25 PM
yeah sure hunting is fine, but i still think that people can live without guns.. i again point to the people of japan. you can (this is a true story) leave your wallet/purse/money on a table at a resteraunt or something similar (open, public place) and come back 1/2 an hour later, it will still be there. people cross the road to avoid a wallet if they see it on the floor. where else in the world does this happen? NO WHERE! japan is one of the safest places to stay, so long as you stay out of the way of the Yakuza. although the Yakuza are dangerous and violent,they will stay out of your way if you stay out of theirs, so there not realy a threat.
I've heard that 90% of crimes in japan end up getting solved (and with good justice) as opposed to America where it is about 10%.
I live without guns, but i have my bow, which is cool. I want to do rifle shooting when i turn 18 though. Its fun.
I agree with Krieger's statement...
I live in an area where no guns are present. The only weapons I know of are switchblades, knives and pretty much bares fists, but the Government's not going to ban fists, but they ban the improper use of them :p
I want a gun. Maybe a pistol but something automatic...Krieger, are Uzi's banned?
Krieger
01-23-2008, 03:48 PM

In Australia, full auto is definately illegal. The fastest reloading weapon i have is a pump action .22 rifle, which was made in the '30s.
A pistol is good, it is semiautomatic, and i'm sure it cant be illegal to make one into a Carbine...

If you mean a .22 pistol, there's one made that comes optional (with and additional cost, of course) with a carbine kit to give it a should stock and a longer barrel. And, that can be taken off and it can be used as a plinking pistol.
It's made by Beretta and is called the U22 Neos.
I don't think anybody NEEDS full auto, exception being military, but semi-auto can be very fun when you have lots of land that you can just go out shooting.

Aww, the Colt 1911. Very good weapon. I ( ym family) has a Colt 1945. First time I shot it damn near broke my hand (exageration I know, I mean that it is more powerful than other's I have fired).
But Gun control is very needed. a man bought an AK47 in Maryland and opened fire on a CIA building a few days later. That man should not have been able to have bought that gun, they said (on the show) that he ahd a criminal history, but yet he was able to buy a gun.

I'd be too scared to carry a 1911 in single action. Just the psychological affect of nothing but a thumb safety and single action trigger protecting your legs is a turn off. The Para LDA's however are fantastic 1911's that are the closest you get to single action yet not double action. Mucho dolores though. 1911's are the shiz

Ah, my friend, it's called buying the proper holster. Do that and ya have 0 problems.
But Gun control is very needed. a man bought an AK47 in Maryland and opened fire on a CIA building a few days later. That man should not have been able to have bought that gun, they said (on the show) that he ahd a criminal history, but yet he was able to buy a gun.
I don't know about other states, but here in Michigan, there's a mandatory 3-week waiting period and background check. any red flags and they deny your purchase, unless of course you buy from a private owner (which I did). I'm not saying I'm against gun control, but I'm not for it.
I'm a heavy 2nd-amendment supporter, but some things should be limited. ie, no full-autos, no AP rounds, anybody with a criminal background (unless it's something reallllllly minor like a few traffic violations) shouldn't be allowed to have guns, and similar things. Law abiding citizens, like myself and all of us here, shouldn't be hindered any by the laws because (I hope) we would have no intentions of misusing the guys we purchase.

Nice, dude. If I had the money to get a gun and practice with it, I'd get into competition shooting.
That and my parents won't let me...it's lame.
And, I had to say that since you said you'd be scared to carry a Colt 1911 because it's single action and has a thumb safety. I like both of those things, I might add.

that seems like a badaased gun..... but the only hand held weapon for me is a revolver........ and a hand-cannon... (its a revolver which has an extended barrel and can blow a hole into someone about the size of a golfball ) (i could be wrong...but it does do serious damage)
hers a picture of the two

Problem with revolvers is you have a very limited amount of shots. Usually 5, 6, or 8. And they're very slow to reload.
A semi-auto, however, holds many more rounds per magazine, and the magazine's are very quick to reload.
For example, a Kimber-made, 1911 style pistol has 11 round magazine, which, when done by a seasoned shooter, can be reloaded in a second or less.

well....movies tend to overly exagerate the effects of some things...... especially guns. you wouldnt burst....it would deliver 40 bullets into you in about 14 miliseconds....and if you unlucky and you dont die once the 40th got into you...you would have your insides shredded and blod gushing out of everywhere and choke n your own blood..... so a brief summary..... hollywood lies and if you were shot by that....it would sooooo suck to be you.

I agree definitely that it should be limited but not to have firearms taken away.
What happens when no innocent guy can get a gun to protect himself? I'm pretty sure that murderer isn't going to let the law stop him from getting a gun...
If guns were banned altogether the crime rate of assaults with a firearm would skyrocket.
I myself am not too paranoid but I definitely plan to buy a gun and get a permit as soon as I can.

this one time my frend bought a new high powered rifle and wanted to use it...so we went into this woodsy place... he gave me this crappy old on... but i likes it...i hid in a bush.... (i had a black little cock-to-shoot one and my frend got a rifle with scope , lazer aim , long range , and flashlight) and so i hid in a bush..but he saw me and started unloading (didnt hit me kuz i moved too fast) and so i ran out into a lower area and he followed blasting away... i dodged it all...some would have panicked and gave up....i simply ran abit faster to give myself more hiding time....so i did that and dove to the left rel fast into a small tree (under the tree leaves blaccking me from sight)....he crept up in front of me and aimed right thinking i turned right and ran.... then at point blanc i fired twice into his leg..hit him in the same spot!!! (kuz when i hid i heard him telling his dad that as soon as i shot him once that he wouls say he gave up...then he would shoot me in the back..... little snake..... and we had a 2-shot death limit.. so i shot him twice..... i won and he got mad rofl...he tried to shoot me in the back when i was far away in the parking lot getting into the car....missed obviousely...hes a bad shot! i need better players!
but yeah..thats my story lol..... ill open a forum so ppl can talk about airsoft or paintball stories! itll be fun!

Desert Eagle and M&P .40s are good guns, but not suitable for our military. They're too expensive for the number of troops we have to issue them to. Well, the Deagles are.
The M&P .40s, .45s, and 9mms would be good. I mean, they're meant for the military, so it'd be alright. I hope the military decides to go back to the .45 ACP, that was a specatular round and much more powerful than the wimpy 9mm we use today.,
Another good one would be the Taurus 24/7 OST in .45 ACP. It's another gun designed for military and law enforcment, and it took a beating in the testing they gave it.

No, we need .55 calibre Semi-explosive Tungsten Armour Peircing rounds!
Fire them from a pistol with an extended barrel, and it is a definate 1 shot 1 kill! it could probably even stop a truck!

I'm sorry HEX, but that is a bad idea, at least right now. Tungsten-carbide cored AP rounds are incredibly expensive and difficult to make. We only have for the big .50s.
And, I'm not sure, but I think the Steyr you guys mentioned might be an expiremental model the US was working with. I saw a quick, sneak-peek kinda deal, those guns looked sweet.
The other experimental gun that they made public was the XM-29, that things pretty awesome. It fires standard 5.56 NATO from on barrel, but can also fire 20mm HE rounds. and the scope it has can make those HE rounds detonate after a certain distance or entering a room, or going over a bunker.

no sirree, Steyrs have been out for a while, 1977 to be precise, and their being used by the Aussie diggers in Iraq...and they are Austrian...eres the site for those realy interested: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steyr_Aug
Aww, but imagine how powerful would a .55 Semi-explosive Tungsten AP round be!!
you could shoot through walls; through entire buildings, probably!
And yes, the Steyr AUG has been around for ages, and it is a great gun. Australia has used it since 1985, i think.
It fires 5.56 Nato standard rounds, or the 9x19mm parabellum for the SMG variant.

Haven't you noticed that despite all the nuclear capabilities countries have, they never used them. Both sides (whether they admit it or not) tried every way they could diplomatically to avoid using them after seeing the destruction they did to Nagasaki and Hiroshima.
Basically, all people in the world want to avoid ever using those again. The next time a nuke gets fired, in my opinion, it will be the start of the nuclear apocalypse that I think will be the end of the human race.

Gun control is good I mean do I really have to reffer back to my old post?
Do you even know why the U.S has the lowest crime rate? Its because of gun control of why we have the lowest crime rate. I mean just think when a robber trys to rob a store, and with the constitution saying gun control in the U.S is allowed just think that the robber could possibly be stop because the clerk has a gun on him/her. Or how about that lonley girl in an alleyway with no one to help, but thankfully she has a gun on her and the guy who trys to rap her right then and there won't because she'll pull a gun on him. Therefore stopping him from doing so.
I mean just think of third world countrys that don't have gun control and thier crime rate is through the roof. You want to know why? It is because the people in third world countrys can not defend themselfs in various situations as rap/murder/robbery/theft/ect. Because you know that the police aren't there all the time, that would be impossible. , I hope you all just relize my points on this H3B's thread about gun control.
My old opinion^, you should know this is also another example.
O.K then but what about the parent who had left the gun out, you really think that is gun controls problem, I mean wouldn't you think that is the parents problem. So my point above would still have to stand about gun control, being a good thing that we should always have in our country. I mean anyone who went through everything to get a consild weapons license is not to likly to shoot someone out of mad rage. The people who shoot other people do it illegaly.
There this is what I really think about gun control.

I mean just think when a robber trys to rob a store, and with the constitution saying gun control in the U.S is allowed just think that the robber could possibly be stop because the clerk has a gun on him/her. Or how about that lonley girl in an alleyway with no one to help, but thankfully she has a gun on her and the guy who trys to rap her right then and there won't because she'll pull a gun on him. Therefore stopping him from doing so.
I mean just think of third world countrys that don't have gun control and thier crime rate is through the roof. You want to know why? It is because the people in third world countrys can not defend themselfs in various situations as rap/murder/robbery/theft/ect. Because you know that the police aren't there all the time, that would be impossible. , I hope you all just relize my points on this H3B's thread about gun control.
There this is what I really think about gun control.
Well, in Australia you cant carry guns around in public areas, and do wehave a massive crimerate? No. How many deaths by gun shootings/accidents do we have per year? less than 80!
We have very stringent gun control, and it works. Also, we are a mostly laid-back country, so we dont have an army of rapists that girls need hadguns to fend off.
In other words; do as we do! :)

Malicious Nun, I've considered many, but made no final choices yet. I'm thinking about a Colt, S&W, or Springfield Armory, or maybe a Kimber. I think I once saw an add for a Kimber 1911 that had an 11+1 capacity. That'd be awesome. But I'm not sure which I'm gonna go with yet.

For one do even know your own population density?
You don't have enough people.
Gun control is a good thing, and if you lived where I do you would consider it too.

My bad, I misread. I thought you said you were AGAINST gun control.
And, I'll be that guy in the store the robber tries to rob.
As I said before, when I'm 21 I'm getting a CCW and a 1911 A1 Gov't in .45 ACP
Thank you for seeing my point. :)

and i agree.... in california..i wouldnt blmae ppl having guns... (no racism or sexism.) most ppl get shot by gang wars (bloods , crips , cholos , rollers , etc.) and angry white kids.... (im white and im a guy...so plz dont be mad at me..its the truth) its all over the news...but do i believe it should be outlawed? hell no! if they outlaw it , NORE ppl will have guns! white teenagers think its badass to break the law! i should know! my high school has abunch of ppl breaking laws!
but as for me...i wont have a gun until i move out of my parent's house (again...im in high school) but only incase of zombie threat and/or columbine or something happens at my school...you know...to protect myself.
When i move out of house, i will get a pistol, a shotgun and a few rifles. When i am 18, however, i will fit my dad's rifle with a proper scope and take up target shooting.

There's were I'm lucky. I already own both a rifle and a shotgun, and I'm looking into buying another shotgun and a muzzleloader. And fitting all of them with scopes. Red dot-style scope for one shotgun, rifle scopes on the second shotgun and muzzleloader, and a pistol scope on the rifle I own now. Yay!

ah! my grandfather has about 3 or 4 shotguns , and a friken winchester!!! dont know if it still works...but its mounted (perched...or balanced on two small antlers... its been in the family i think.... looks like it would explode if you shoot it rofl. winchester and handcannon would be the best combo)
Krieger
02-17-2008, 06:07 AM
I'd skip the Winchester and go for something like a Savage bolt-action for the long-range stuff, and a fast shooting, hard-hitting 12-gauge for the close end work.
And, to MN, I'm thinking about putting either an Aim-Dot or Trijicon sights on my 20-gauge.

we should stop worrying about gun control! its just a distration by the government to try to divert our attention from the iraq soldiers not back yet and the fact that bush had abunch of REPUBLICAN people voted into office so that his laws werent opposed most of the time!
gun controll is great the way it is. the only thing they should change is not allowing parents with teenaged kida buy guns or let any kid into a gun shop. or at least install unbreakable safes for the guns!!! i mean! on kid gets bullied and then realises his dad's gun could kill that other kid who bullied him..then he shoots the other kids and everyone blames the parents... IS THERE NO BRAINS IN THE PARENTS!?!?!? its the kid's fault..not the mom or dad's..there should be a kid-controll law... beat your kids when they do somehting horrible! (not badly...like a backhand or somehting subtle) so they know its wrong and will never do it again! and for god's sake! dont keep an open gun laying around the house!!put it in a secret safe!

Parents should be blamed, PARTIALLY!
From as long as I can remember I've been around guns. Before we were allowed to even touch them, my dad starting teaching us the basics of gun safety. Then he started us on his BB gun, which we were only allowed to pump once. That way, just in case an accident happened, it'd hurt, but it wouldn't kill or anything. Then we moved up.
So, parents should be starting the teachings of gun safety as soon as they can. It's a vital thing for any household that has guns.
When I get married, and have kids, my kids will see the same thing everybody else does everyday; They'll see me strap on my Springfield Armory .45 GI Gov't, and magazines. But they'lkl never use it illegally, because I'll teach them how to use guns as well as how to curb their emotionals and how to handle them.
I've felt like killing people before, and could easily do it. At any given time I could get my hands on a bow, any of 4 shotguns, two muzzleloaders, a rifle, or a pistol and ammo for any of them. But, because of the teachings of my dad, I know how to curb my emotions and not let them get out of hand.
That's were parents should be blamed. Not for their kids' choices, but for how they raised their kids.

and people who use over powerd guns because they like the noise they make? but seriously, i would ultimately prefer something that can hit people at enough range for them not to easily be able to hit back...im not sayin a want a sniper rifle, but just something accurate enough to hit someone from say...a block or two away...not that i need it in the peacefull place i live, where gun crime is a highly rare occurunce, and a high level news article, instead of a daily event...

I cleaned up that little flaming session, let's not let that happen again....Stay on topic, please.
As for using loud guns. It's pointless, because they're usually the most inaccurate things you'll ever shoot! Me? I'd take a long-range rifle (something like a .308 or .30-06), a 12-gauge loaded with buckshot, and a GI-style 1911 .45 ACP.
That way, I have a gun for long distance, up close, and for if my primary gun fails.

02-23-2008, 10:26 AM
longrange weapons are mostly good if your mission is to take out long range people... but if not itll slow you down because thay are big and akward... its always good to take a powerful sidearm with you so you dont get cornered with half a clip with ike 80 guys.... one shot one kill weapons are best for that kind of odds.

I think some gun control is necessary (don't give an M82 to someone with a congenital neurological disorder), but too much is just pointless. Like the assault weapons ban.
Two weapons will kill you - one of them has a bigger magazine capacity. Therefore, it is illegal.

just have a handcannon and a dragon gun in the back of a semi...you will win ANY fight! one look at the dragon gun and they will have heart-attacks before a single shot is fired.

I know that. That's why I said I'd have a high-capacity 12-gauge and a .45 sidearm as well.
That way, when they get too close, you ditch the rifle, and take the shotgun/pistol combo.

lol handcannon ftw...pull it out in a weird quikdraw and then when the first shot is fired the guy does a backflip into a group of others...then chuck a grenade and instant pwnage lol
