Ha Ha thats hilarious, personally I find that my glock fits well in the side pouch for those times

when my drive thru breakfast at Hungry Jacks is just taking too freaking long, and when they

really cant get their act together I just pop my boot lid where I have my AK47 nicely mounted

so I can bust a cap............

America...........Fu^k yeah.....

[kawasakirider]

They are bloody crazy...

There's a forum I was looking at once, can't remember which one. They had a thread titled "Home protection" and these guys were absolute nutcases... The majority of them had MULTIPLE guns, and not just pistols, fully automatic guns like AK47's, MP5's etc, etc. They would have about 12 guns loaded and hidden throughout the house, and another 45 locked up in the gun closet. Absolute madness.

I would LOVE to see a shootout during a home invasion in which a stupid redneck that thinks he's ready gets to utilise his artillery. How the HELL could they seriously think that they'd have the opportunity to run through the house using up all the ammunition in all of the guns they have lying around is beyond me. They seriously must think they are some fictional war hero. If it came down to it, the one gun would be all that's necessary, because they'd either take out the person invading their place, or get taken out themselves. It's like they are living in a movie.

The majority also slept with their pistols under their pillows... Idiots.

[Nee-san]

In Australia, only bad people have guns, in America, everyone has guns.

It's legal where they are from, I don't see a problem with not living in a bubble wrapped society, America's so called gun problems do not stem from the possession of the weapons themselves, see Australia Circa before gun reform after port arthur.

gotta be strapped dawg or youz ain't ballin

Lol if I was being pounded 24/7 by their awesome media propaganda machine I'd believe men with beards are coming to get me too.... and this only a couple decades after getting over the commies were coming to get me

I am loving the retail bargains at a buck ten though so keep borrowing that 540k per minute to keep the war machine going and the public in a constant state of fear

lobbyists in the US are going after their rights to bare arms state by state (which was originally included so the public could overpower an oppressive government) so it's only a matter of time before they ain't packing no more

They are mad. I wanted to express my disgust on that thread, but it would be completely lost on them.

Lulz !

The US is an entirely different culture and in some ways this is normal for them. Different strokes etc.

I've been shooting with one of the guys in that thread and in no way is he insane or even out of the ordinary. Just a GT-R lover living in a gun loving society.

[Yo-Yo]

ahhh the second ammendment of the american constitution, keeping the king of england out of your bizzle since 1791

[LSX-438]

Just because it's 'normal' there - doesn't make it right. Reading that thread (and othes like it, you should see some of the f**ked up weapons some of those guys have) you just know most of them are living out some childhood fantasies owning some of those weapons. It's just ridiculous. I wouldn't post this on the US forum, they mostly ignore non-US people as it is, they would have a fit if anyone tried to comment on their gun laws. Just look at their homicide rate per head of population, it's up their with some seriously screwed up countries.

It would be interesting to see the the Homicide rate per head population in Australia, pre gun law and post and compare this with the united states.

Not sure it's all about guns and gun ownership.. it's probably more a long term cultural condition.

[Martin Donnon]

You do the right thing LSX-438, pack all that firepower under the 'hood'

Imagine if one of their little kids or a neighbours kid or something got in a GTR with a loaded pistol floating around in it. Something we cant really comprehend over here...thank god

Gun laws come in, death by guns go down and death by knifes go up. True genius really.

[Mayuri Krab]

I like to own one of those semi/auto shotguns (Saiga-12 or AA12) with the 20 round drums.

[Chris Rogers]

different culture.. thats pretty much all I will say. when I lived in Texas you had a right to bear arms , a right to carry (with licence) and a right to shoot if you were in your own home and in danger of being shot. (self defence in other words)

there are some that go overboard a bit but when you walk into a shop and think about knocking the till over you tend to think twice when there is a 9mm glock pointing back at you.

guns require common sense. you put the things well out of the way from young hands and usually leave them empty with a clip out of reach from small hands.

I had a 9mm glock and at one point a 410 remington rifle. the glock was kept at home hidden but I could get at it fairly quickly if I had to. the rifle I had as a kid when I lived on a farm.

the other thing to remember about guns and the USA - you are TAUGHT to shoot one in yr 7 at school in country areas. I was. handling a 12 ga shotgun was a misson at that age but I learnt how to use one.

glock with a modified clip . there were a few nice pieces shown there as well.

Anyone remember when you could buy firearms and ammo at K-Mart (yes, in australia!!) ?? It wasnt all that long ago, perhaps they put a stop to that in the 80's..

[simpletool]

I remember the guns at the Ferny Hills K-mart in Brisbane. This was about 20 years ago, 22 or 23 years at the most.

America's homicide problems isn't just to do with guns. It's the high crime rate in general most likely due to conflicts arising from the large economic divide between upper-middle class and poor.

Very typical to have high crime rates in countries with large socio-economic divides. You can also find a significant correlation between areas within countries.

The higher crime rate due to this social divide may actually be the reason people feel they need guns. So a catch-22.

Compare with the larger social nets and taxes of UK, Australia to dampen the social divide.
