Ive been shooting for only 7 or 8 years sadly ive had a few accidents none were my fault.

Was firing on a range with a air rifle when a member of the public decided to cross infront of the targets just as i pulled my trigger, caught the guy in the left hand.

And my only other accident (well done it on purpose) i shot a guy with an air rifle in the leg cause he real did piss me off.

even the saving of 1 life in the US by getting rid of the stupid constitution would be worth it or do u put such a small value on a life.

and people quoting its my right to bare arms need a reality check that was written when the US was very young and in danger of being invaded by any nation (not so now i think) also they where under threat by the nation of people they stole the land from the true american's the native indians not some jumped up euopean rejects and some poor african slaves that got kidnapped from there home to work for these rejects


and kapitan thats not an accident thats ABH actual bodily harm in the UK and you would go to jail for it see thats the reason to get rid of all personal firearms i shot him caus ehe pissed me off what *******ing excuse is that

What excuse well we call it a good one, you see niehter of us would ever grass each other up simply because the repocussions would be enormous and you would soon be branded grass and then more people would be on you case.

I do things diffrently i dont rely on police to get involved i sort my problems out my way, given the chance the other guy would have done exactly the same.

To be honest guns is what keeps everyone safe the army use's them or do you want us to run around with swords and daggers?

Its better to have a gun and not need it, than to need a gun and not have it.

dosent change the fact you shot someone becuase you got upset if you didnt have the weapon in the first place you could have shot him and i said personal firearms not military arms of course the military needs its weapons.thats how easy it is to kill with firearms you get upset gun in hand and bang

Agreed, what if he'd really pissed you off - you'd have killed him?

As it goes id never aim for the head, if you must know i shot the guy in the shin, and i wasnt upset i was highly raged.

I do have control over my temper hence why i didnt shoot him in the head, if i didnt have a gun i would have used something else or my fist's.

So i supose now you going to say oh no thats bad, well i aint cutting off my hands to satisfy anyone.

As I see it, the fact you shot him means one of 2 things:

a. You acted in rage and didn't think about the consequences - in which case you need help.

b. You knew what you were doing and shot him deliberately - in which case you need help.

The fact remains that if you didn't have the gun you couldn't have shot him - I have no opinion on gun control, it's just logic.

The whole macho posturing BS about people sorting problems out for themselves without going to the police and becoming a 'grass' is laughable to me. Their defence is that it's the environment they live in, but they're the ones perpetuating that culture - the tough man is the one who takes a stand against this and says no to it.

Stupid yes TLAM just not stupid enough to get caught, besides since that incident took place ive moved away and started fresh, i still have guns but i dont shoot them regularly no more, and when i do shoot them its only in my garden.

So it cant and wont happen a 2nd time.

LES what would you rather have sort your own issues out, or get the police too, and when they leave your now open to revenge by other people so it makes the issue alot worse.

I was in a rage so what we all get them but as i said if i didnt have the gun i would have used something else, so in reality i would still "be armed" with something, it just happend to be a gun that time.

Ive been in a fair share of fights lost a few won a few (most in school) but never used a weapon in any of them, this was a one off job just happend that i was walking home froma friends that i saw the guy and decided to do what i did.

Im not proud of it thats why im admiting it as a sign of guilt not sign of anything else, i dont agree with what i did and i dont think others should follow the same path i did.

If younger kids couldnt get hold of guns (bear in mind i was 14 when i did this) then we could definatly say it would be safer, as they would be in the hands of more mature people.

I signed a petition to try and enforce gun licencies for the air rifles and air soft weapons, i agree that they should have them, and at purchase they must produce such a licence, its already in affect now in my area, and i can say im happy with that.

What blue3golf said on p. 1. They might be worth plenty; if you have the opportunity, look them up in a reference like the Standard Catalog of Military Firearms: The Collector's Price and Reference Guide. There are several books like this out there; they aren't particularly expensive but for two firearms you probably don't need to buy them, either. Best to consult as many as you can to get a ballpark idea of what's worth what.

If we got rid of the Constitution we would have no way to run the government. Oh, you meant the bill of rights. We have that to guarantee protections against the government. Hardly 'stupid'.

Actually the right to bear (not bare) arms was guaranteed because we had just seceded-violently-from the mother country which didn't want to let us go. The first shots of that war-the battle of Lexington and Concorde-started when the British Colonial governer of Massachussets sent troops to confiscate the cannons held at a privately owned armory. If Britain had exercised proper gun control in 1775 we wouldn't have been able to have our revolution, so we take the right to bear arms fairly seriously. We also have the Third Amenement, which protects us from the government forcing us to let soldiers stay in our homes, at our expense. Why? Because the British did exactly that.

Micky, you really need to be more reasonable in your arguments, and not just scream opinions. Also, check your facts. Every one you used was wrong.

I'm a gun nut from waaay back.


After I got married I still have my semi-autos a WWII K43 ac44 scoped German infrantry rifle, an old soviet TT33 pistol and a post war Venezualen FN49. Prior to marriage I had a slew of bolt actions (K98's and O3A3's) but had to sell'em off because of space considerations. I kept the the semi-autos which allows the wife to shoot'em without the fear of a big recoil. It's a blast to see her shoot the K43, dang thing is almost as big as she is, she thinks it's a missle launcher. :rotfl:
