I was really asking for that wasn't I
I was really asking for that wasn't I :D
Yep...
I suppose I should be grateful you haven't got a thing about our right to bare ass..
I'm sure some would be agreeing that we exercise that right too much too..huh?

Depends what state you are in I guess
Oooh the irony
I exercise the right.
I exercise the right.
I'm a bit puzzled how you can own semis no problem but if you want something fully automatic you have to get a permit?
Over here it is shotguns or bolt actions only.
Hmm..can't comment on owning a "semi" as being "no problem"
as I've never known anyone to own one..
you'll likely be hard pressed to find anyone that does even know anyone in possession of such a weapon..
And I would agree that it's hard to see any purpose in owning one..
I've never owned any kind of gun..
Will I ever?
I doubt it...
but if circumstances change, so will I...

Not even for home defence?
Not even for home defence?
Actually I think I need a fortress...or a guard rail...
Some drunk forget to take the curve on my street early this morning..and ended up eye to eye with my neighbor ..taking out a fence and spinning up his newly landscaped yard.
Drunks can't see that curve...they've ended up in my front yard before too.
My home defense is a big slurpy dog that snores.
He never opened an eye.

HA! Mine's a 7lb rat terrier..I'd like to see anyone get past her. You know, I never really think of having guns as self/home defense, though. Some people are just avid shooters/hunters, I think. Hell, if someone broke in, they'd be in & out before I could get to any of the guns AND bullets. There's the baseball bat & funny enough, some martial arts weapons more accessible, though. And of course, the bows & arrows. Not to mention my mad kung fu skills. 
I guess I'm just one of those people that chose to exercise my right. Most of our friends don't own guns & they don't really get all preachy with me about it..and those that do, hunt. There's not anyone we know that own guns just-in-case-someone-busts-in-uninvited. To be hones, I'm not too fond of guns. My husband knows it, so he respects my wishes (they're well away from the sprogs & unless they can fly, they can't get at them), at the same time I respect his, too. For the life of me, I have no idea why some Americans want to take that right from other Americans.

Ed, I have to confess that I do not see much point in either semi or fully automatic firearms. I guess the ban on fully automatic is to avoid the "spraying". I have a semi .22 rifle and a semic Browning 12 gauge shotgun. I did not buy either. A relative gave me the .22 and I took the shotgun on trade as the only way to come out ahead. I prefer a pump shotgun and a bolt or lever action rifle. I cannot imagine anyone needing assault type rifles for anything other than playing with them.
Sometimes the semi .22 is nice to get out and release tension by shooting cans and such because the shells are so much cheaper and there is no recoil.
A lot of the fascination that we Americans have with guns is that we are only a generation or three from the wilderness and frontier so our parents and grandparents grew up with guns and felt we should too. Game was an important food source for my father's family when he was growing. In winter they only had salted pork as meat so eagerly sought game and had it as meat 3 or 4 times a week. I still know several people to go after coyote bounty. game, and tan pelts to supple their income but mainly because they like the lifestyle.

I really enjoyed using the shooting ranges in Texas, very relaxing despite all the noise!
12 gauge is ideal for home defence as a target, less likely your target will get back on their feet if you hit them.
Personally if I was an American citizen i'd of invested in a hand gun by now for stress relief and target shooting is good fun! Especially when you have some one who takes themselves seriously on the next booth miss the target from ten yards out. Maybe i'm a little competitive.
You don't get many coyote's here so no need for any citizen to have the legal right to a firearm

speaking of...on our way to the state Capital the other day..there was one about 10 ft from the highway (roadside). I have never seen them that close to traffic before, crazy Wile E!! I thought it was a dog at first, it was running something down, poor desperate thing!

Coyotes are really making a big comeback for reason. Here in WV they are becoming a real nuisance not only to farm animals to domestic dogs. They will kill a male pet dog in a heartbeat and some of the females but keep the prime females for breeding.
Are they what foxes are to us in England? Just pests?

Coyotes are interesting. Definitely not only survivors but also thrivers. In his book, "Wildness is all around us", Eugene Kinkead tells us a lot about them. As technologically advanced as we are, we are still subject to Nature's whims and dependent on it.
Yeah all the time.. i've got a bolt action Springfield 22 that shoots long/short. it's an antique. then i had a 20 gauge pump action for those who might have wandered through my front door at an inconvenient time. i got rid of it about a year ago to my friend though. so i'm down to just my 22 and my machette. i have been gonna get a 30/30 forever now, but i can't be bothered to go looking. i hate shopping.

I have considered buying a 9mm, but the police carry them here. i don't wanna own nothing they carry. also i really have no need for a handgun. i don't traverse the old shitty crack infested crime ridden neighborhoods that i once did, so it's not really needed. i'm not a big gun person anyway. i believe in owning them but i don't hunt things that cannot defend themselves so i really have nothing or nobody to shoot. dang it!

I see your point,once i shot a deer ,never again. I think israel is one of the hardest countries in which to get a licence for a handgun,so there aren't many,and the punishment for using them to commit a crime is very very severe..
I like guns and enjoy shooting but I am not into hunting. We rural Americans grew up with guns. I would have a hard time in a country that has strict control.
I also grew up with guns and i attend the range every second week..I think that either you like guns or you don't..I have read all the posts,guns this gunsthat ,guns the other..A persons right to bear arms is law in america and i think to cange it would require a constitutional amendment.
I believe in every American's right to arm bears!
The wilderness has a right to defend itself, and I am
against the destruction of wildlife... and the wildlife must be
given a chance to shoot back!

Hey, why not go all out!! Why not arm all the turkeys, pigs, sheep, cows in farms? They're about as defenseless as they come. Poor buggers. 
I don't really like shooting at anything alive. I can barely squash a bug. However, I respect the rights of others. I have mine, too..and I sure would hate it if anyone tried to take them away from me! *looking for the smilie list that's not working AGAIN"*

Bears aren't as cuddly as they look.
Human kind has managed to survive so long by being so brutal.
Hey, only every other Tuesday. Though I have to say, winter is severely cramping my style.
