Heck yeah, I love my AR-15. I went with a Stag Arms and it seems to be rock solid so far. Don't forget to buy a spare bolt, just in case!

What is martial arts going to do if they have you insight with a M16?



what's a gun going to do if they have you in sight with a M16? silly. whats a gun going to do if they napalm your neighborhood? whats a gun going to do if you run out of bullets? eh? then what?

just be prepared, that means, prepared to run out of bullets...


you shouldn't be around any places where that is possible if youre really trying to survive. hence the term, WISE. If youre really worried, youll get back to helping your neighbors work on the underground tunnels and bunkers with hydroponic gardens and wells.
seriously.

If I come to a point, where Im facing others with guns, it wont be much of a feat to acquire one or more of theirs. I will see them coming long before they even realize there is anyone to be looking for. Buying a gun, to me, just asks the universe to bring those kinds of situations to me. Buy a bow instead. That will ensure that you are in shape enough to even use one, as well as have the skill to stalk prey better, since you have to get much closer, and in my experience, using the bow and all it entails, makes it much easier to learn how to sneak up on humans and cover your tracks.

I know I know, its so much easier to just buy a gun, than to learn some skills that will help you outwit those with the guns. No offense, guns are great tools, but seriously, in the situation youre talking about, Im not planning on waiting around for someone to come to my door for a gun battle, ive been long gone before anything like that happened. If youre waiting for them to come around, its going to be too late, whats a gun going to do when a tank is rolling down the street and they have 10x the guns you do?

I'm just saying to learn how to use a gun and get one if you can. There may be times when thinking isn't the solution and you'll need force or die.

To the other posters. I do not own a gun shop. I am just any ordinary citizen and you all of you saying Americans are morons, I'm Vietnamese and I just happen to live in the USA. Now to you Akezzon, if everyone threw away their guns we will already be in camps and slaves for the rest of our lives and to the person that said we have no chance against the military? We do have a chance, we outnumber them by 100+ million. If everyone had a Gun and we rushed the government we would already be able to reconstruct a new government.

I am not saying to rush them with guns, Of course we will lose by ourselves but if we unite first and guns will help us hunting when we have no more food. and here's something. The military will be losing numbers as the people in the military have families that are going to be slaves and put into camps and they'll want to help to the good of the people witch would be us. The government wants us to think guns only harm so we would never obtain one and learn to use it wisely. Oh, and when you said that a gun couldn't face a M16, that's alone. When you have 1,000 people with handguns vs. a M16, I want to see what would happen.

You people on both sides of this aisle are forgetting one really super important item involving guns.

If you just run out and buy one and think you are safe, you never are. You don't know how and when to use it.

Training is the most important factor in owning any type of gun. Just having one without the training makes you more of a target and less likely to survive any given situation involving one.

As for the people who think owning a gun is "uncivilized?" Get real. They have been around for a very long time and won't be leaving anytime soon. Again, knowing how to properly use any tool is important before use.

If you do feel the need to own a gun, then you need to do the responsible thing and learn how to use it effectively and properly. That also means knowing when as well. Every gun I've ever bought I've taken to the range that same day and got a feel for how it shoots and where the accuracy range is. I can use any of them effectively in any given situation that can reasonably come about.

I've only been a trigger pull away from using one in defense a couple times because of some things going on outside my house, but not once was I irresponsible and went outside looking for trouble.

Bottom line is if you get one, learn to use it, if you don't want one, that's your choice. No one is forcing you to get one, no one is (yet) saying you can't have one.

Most of the arguments I've seen on here about why not to own a gun are actually quite stupid... Yet a lot of the arguments I see for owning one are too full of hubris to be meaningful.

Yeah, I guess...

But why pure more fuel on the fire?

But you're right, it has been goin on for a long time.
It's just the risk of everyone turning against everyone who make me shiver.


You seem to think any kind of large numbers are just going to go postal! But back in the American Old West, virtually EVERYONE had a gun, and presumed everyone else was armed.

You know what? People were very polite back then, and old westerns aside, the murder rate was lower than in comparable cities today that have gun laws, etc.

The difference is that everyone PRESUMED everyone else is armed.

Today, it is presumed no one is.

But if we all armed ourselves, and presumed everyone else was equally armed, we would learn to be respectful and polite. It might cost us our life if we're not.
