Sorry to break the news but America is one big nanny state these days. Guns dont change that fact they just give the illusion of control.

I have fired a hand gun a couple of times, only at targets never at people, and not legally. I will add not lately about 20 years ago and it was not mine! A farmer let us have a go on holiday. You can get a clean unused 9mm automatic for £1,500 in the right place and from the wrong people. I know of people who can get hand grenades for £150. Point is its wrong and very dangerous and if caught with such items a very long jail sentence will ensure(About 5-15 years) as it should!edit on 28-12-2012 by andy06shake because: (no reason given)

I do consider myself and my fellow Australians very lucky indeed, lucky to live in a magnificant island nation free of the sentiment expressed in the balance of your reply post.
Cheers

well, im not a psychopathic gun nut, so for all i know they could be pea shooters.
but honestly? if all three shoot bullets, they are all as bad as each other.
tell me,
1. which one of these is most likely to be used in a school massacre?
2. which one of these is the minimum required to protect your home?
3. do owning any of these void the 2nd ammendment?
4. which one would you buy out of egotistical blood lust?
5. which one would you teach your child to use, to protect himself?
6. If the government sent 20 mercenaries to your home with grenandes, fully auto weapons etc, which one of those would defeat them?

Despite the handguns ban imposed under the 1997 Firearms Amendment, research carried out following the implementation of the Act saw a 40 per cent increase in the number of gun crime incidents in the UK.
A new study suggests the use of handguns in crime rose by 40% in the two years after the weapons were banned.
he latest Government figures show that the total number of firearm offences in England and Wales has increased from 5,209 in 1998/99 to 9,865 last year - a rise of 89 per cent.

Do you seriously think armed civilians could put up any kind of sustained armed conflict against your current army, even your national guard? I hope it never happens because a lot of people would die and most would be civilians. And in the end they would still lose there guns and there freedom. Not a site i would wish to behold.edit on 28-12-2012 by andy06shake because: (no reason given)
The gun in that video is literally useless but it's funny how upset people get about it.

this is just being stupid..
What's that? You're OK with the top one but not the bottom one? OK, so ban the bottom one. A smart shooter would use the top one anyway, as it's likely more powerful, more accurate, and more reliable, and can pick off targets from a greater distance, thus providing safety and concealment to the shooter.
Your, and your like-minded rights haters', gun ban argument on cosmetic differences has been rendered invalid. Again.
