Classic OT thread

Ill tell you why it scares me having any average joe able to bare these types of arms, THERE ARE SO MANY NUT JOBS IN OUR SOCIETY.

Hmm, I must be a "nut job." :rolleyes:

Then again, I do collect different kinds of Japanese blades that I put to good use.

22 is a very small step above a decent pellet gun. I dont mind the idea of shooting some cans off a farmers fence. Also a 22 isnt going to kill anyone.

Gloc's, Tec 9's, AK-47's are a different story. These are designed for killing people and used in the miltary.

Ill tell you why it scares me having any average joe able to bare these types of arms, THERE ARE SO MANY NUT JOBS IN OUR SOCIETY. Atleast if a guy pulls a knife you can run. Anyone ever seen the movie "Fallen"?

Not just anyone can own these in the USA... Most high power weapons are available to Law Enforcement only, though high power weapons are available to others. To purchase class 3 firearms (assault weapons) you need to undergo an extensive background check and test, and usually these are reserved for law enforcement, ex-military, and gun collectors.
Sure there are lots of Glocs out there, nearly every police officer carries one.
And of course, a 22 can kill someone, just not as easily as say, my 7.62 Mosin can.

What about in Texas. You can walk in to a gun shop and buy a magnum and walk out with it in a holster? Same day buy. same day same day???

My girls won the game last night. There was quite the controversy on an umpire's judgement call. But we won and we play today for the tournament championship. We will either have first or second place. These kids have a lot of heart and I think they can win. But we do not know the other team at all. We have no idea what we'll be facing. So we'll see. Wish us luck. I'll be back tonight with all the news.

so did they come home with first or second place swag?

and his dad offered to give us an older one they had. Free aluminum canoe, vintage 1973 but still good condition and works well. wheeeeee!

a trick i learned with aluminum canoes...pack hot glue sticks under the seat...if you get a leak at a seam or rivet use a bic lighter to melt a dab of glue...it will get you home.

Or... You can buy any of these weapons from your neighbor. It wasn't to logn ago that these restrictions were put into place meaning there are many weapons of the assult kind that the government does not know who owns them. I am all for the right to own guns, but you must admit that there are some guns that server no purpose for other than the use of killing others.

First place! We won! WooHoo!!!

I told you these kids have a lot of heart. The game was close for the first two innings, then we took over. That's what I love about baseball. It can go any way until one team breaks out or it becomes a pitchers duel and anyone can win. The opposing team just didin't come with energy. They ran out of mana after the second inning. By the fourth inning, it was over. We played 5 before time ran out. Yes, 9 & 10 year old baseball/softball is timed. It was 100 degress F, and humid. It was hot out there and these kids played well again.

I was a nervous wreck, but it was better than Wednesday and Fridays game. Wednesday was the best game I have ever been involved in. Friday was just tough.

Well, it's back to being no ones in the next tournament which starts Monday. We play Wednesday night. Although I am sure some teams may want another crack at us. Many in the next one were in the last.

I hope you don't mean the National Firearms Act, also known as the Act of June 26, 1934

Also, some laws have deceiving names :( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VAWA

Okay here's something I have a question about. I have never paid for anything online, that is to say I've never bought anything through the internet. Reason is, I don't trust putting my personal and credit card information online. But progress will continue and I can't put it off forever, so I thought about paypal. Also wanting to make a donation here to the forums. My question is, is paypal safe? I've heard stories, and quite frankly, I'm a little scared. I checked this out, and the last thing I need is to have my credit card account frozen with people being able to take out my money and I can't stop it. The place I looked is here:

I'm not sure if it's all true or not. It looks legit. Is there anyone here who has had problems? Would a merchant account be better? A merchant account seems safer, but is it as useful as paypal? Paypal seems to be everywhere, so it would seem to be easier to use. Opinions?
