I'm not kidding. The ban on assault weapons is ending and is not going to be renewed from what I hear. I want to buy a weapon before they ban them again.

I grew up on a farm and owned several guns (shotguns, handguns, rifles) of different kinds into my late 20's. I sold them several years ago. I used to go hunting from time to time and I used to shoot clay pidgeons too. I'm a naturally good shot. I have been since I was a kid.

Since the school bombing / hostage situation in Russia, I've been thinking that I need to go buy a few guns. You never know what my happen in America. I told my wife this and I couldn't believe that she agreed with me. She is absolutey outraged about the Russian school issue.

We haven't owned any guns in the last few years. This is because my wife has a daycare (9 kids) in our home. It is just too dangerous. You never know what could happen. I'd have guns in my home if it were only my own kids in the house. I'd train them to respect guns and be safe with them. But with someone else's children in our home, the liability risk is just too high. That was our line of thinking until now.

I've been out of the gun world for a while. I'm out of the loop. I'm looking to you guys for advice. Obviously, I want something legal and easy to find. I know where to find a handgun, shotgun, rifle, etc. I want your advice on an assault weapon.

Here's what I am looking for:
1. Cheap. I don't have allot of money to spend.
2. Cheap ammunition.
3. Something that will throw allot of lead in a short time.
4. Something with a large magazine.
5. Something that is easy to shoot and upkeep.
6. Something that will scare the hell out of a terrorist when I point the "business end" of it at his temple.

A pre ban AR15 or an AK47.

Both of which are easily shot by girls. If that matters.

The parents of the Russian children took up guns against the Islamic murderers themselves. We need to be prepared to do the same. This type of terrorism could easily come to America. I'd rather have a gun than not. You can choose to do what you want. I'll give Charleton Heston a call.

Chinese SKS. They're fairly cheap, I've found 30 round clips for them and they shoot 7.62mm ammo which is the same as the AK-47 and is also cheap.
The Russian model is more expensive and usually more reliable but the Chinese will work.

Probably at WalMart in the next couple of weeks, they sell just about everything else.

Pretty soon the expanded drum mags will again be available so even a Ruger 10/22 popping out lots of light stuff will keep things interesting. Cheap .22 ammo, cheap guns, but no penetration. I'd go with a more expensive FN/FAL and Nato 7.62mm (.308); and reload your own to keep the cost down. It really depends what you want it for - home defense, visits to the bank or inlaws, casual plinking or some side work in S. America .....

Unless someone has a 6'6" behemoth of a Marine wife, men should (make :p) encourage their women to learn at the very least, how to load, shoot and clean a gun.

An AR15 may be too much gun.

This is a style of thought that really annoys me, the REACTIONARY way of thinking.

Since the school bombing / hostage situation in Russia, I've been thinking that I need to go buy a few guns.

What kind of crap is that? I'll put Gunther_Fan in the same class of people who bought gas masks for "their protection" after 9/11 happened. Guess what? The terrorists win when you do this sort of thing. They changed your way of thinking, so you go out and waste your money on an assault rifle or gas masks, or other means to "protect" your home from terrorists....

Now, a more reasonable reactionary thought would be "3 people in my neighborhood just got their houses burglarized. I'm going to buy a gun to protect my home." Even though I don't like guns, and would never own one myself, I'd consider that a rational thought.

I'm not a gun enthusiast at all, but with my dad being a gun owner, I am aware of a few of the guns currently banned under the current law, and those guns shouldn't be legal. I couldn't tell you every gun though, if that's your point.

And I'd be in favor of a new draft of the law, since I don't know all the specifics.

Wow, I am amazed at how little sense this post makes.

First of all you are equating a passive defense mechanism (gas mask) to an offensive defense mechanism.

Secondly, the terrorists lose if more American's are armed, not win. Same goes goes for any enemy, foriegn or domestic. An armed people are safer people becuase they are better able to protect themselves. That is just common sense.

Thirdly, a reactionary thought of buying gun to protect your house after some burglaries in the neighborhood is reasonable, but buying a gun after your home land has been brutally attacked is unreasonable? There is no logic in this.

There is logic in this. Buying a weapon to fight terrorists is unreasonable, because in almost all scenarios, it won't be civilians fighting terrorists. Its totally moronic to think a single person (or even a militia) armed with assault weapons would be able to actually stop a terrorist attack.

This thread is a bit personal for me.

First off the Ban on assult Weapons is a Joke, you can still buy a legal gun thats almost an assault weapon.

Second, I have a right as an American citizen to keep and bear arms. So I think I should be able to have any gun, until I use one of these weapons to committ a crime. then my rights to bear arms should be taken away.

My father has been convicted on four counts of manufactuing machine guns. At the end of this month im sure he will be put in prison for the next two years and ordered to pay a fine in the range of $200,000. He is 60 years old, never took these guns off his property, and when confronted by law enforcement officers he showed them every weapon he has. Now I understand my father is guilty and did wrong. But I have a major problem with the Guidelines that establish the punishment for his actions. Since its a machinegun violation, he is being charged as if he robbed a bank with a weapon, when infact, the weapons were never taken off his property.

You know this how? From what I have seen civilians are terrorists favorite target. Sure the police and military will become involved once they get teh word, but who is fighting in the interim? The people the assholes are attacking.

There is no logic in your argument, and owning a weapon in case of car jackers, house burglars, muggers, or terrorists is not unreasonable.

Yes, I have a calmness to myself when I do think about these kinds of situations. I probably could pull the trigger if it was me or them. However a gun may not be the only answer.

All I know is that I have no intention of getting a gun at any point in the foreseeable future and think the idea of somebody deciding to play Rambo during a terrorist situation is pure danger for all involved.

I'm not a gun enthusiast at all, but with my dad being a gun owner, I am aware of a few of the guns currently banned under the current law, and those guns shouldn't be legal. I couldn't tell you every gun though, if that's your point.

And I'd be in favor of a new draft of the law, since I don't know all the specifics.

Well, you inadvertently answered my question about if you knew anything about it... :rolleyes:

I hear the ban has significantly reduced the number of drive-by bayonettings though. :rolleyes:

You know this how? From what I have seen civilians are terrorists favorite target. Sure the police and military will become involved once they get teh word, but who is fighting in the interim? The people the assholes are attacking.

There is no logic in your argument, and owning a weapon in case of car jackers, house burglars, muggers, or terrorists is not unreasonable.
There is no logic in your reasoning where you think you would stand a chance vs a Terrorist. This is why terrorists target civilians, because they are easy targets, whether they are armed or not.

Just tell me what exactly you would do if terrorists took over your office building (if you work in one or not, hypothetical), and you had an assault weapon in your desk for such an occasion.

This thread is a bit personal for me.

First off the Ban on assult Weapons is a Joke, you can still buy a legal gun thats almost an assault weapon.

Second, I have a right as an American citizen to keep and bear arms. So I think I should be able to have any gun, until I use one of these weapons to committ a crime. then my rights to bear arms should be taken away.

My father has been convicted on four counts of manufactuing machine guns. At the end of this month im sure he will be put in prison for the next two years and ordered to pay a fine in the range of $200,000. He is 60 years old, never took these guns off his property, and when confronted by law enforcement officers he showed them every weapon he has. Now I understand my father is guilty and did wrong. But I have a major problem with the Guidelines that establish the punishment for his actions. Since its a machinegun violation, he is being charged as if he robbed a bank with a weapon, when infact, the weapons were never taken off his property.

Last time I checked terrorists don't mail in their plans. Well unless they are really bad ones.

Say something happened at a place he was at. How long would it take him to get that gun out of where ever it is being held. I think he mentioned his home is a day care so I hope that bad boy is locked up really well. From there, I just don't believe that people without a lot of military experience would go attacking them like Rambo. This is biggest stretch of my argument though I understand.

So it comes down to....

In what situatoin is GF gonna be in where he could be face to face with an act of terrorism...

If he is...will he be in the place that his gun is at?

If he is...how would he have time to do get this gun and prepare himself to do anything about the situation...

I don't have a strong feeling about the bannings of guns either way. I have no problem with someone owning a gun legally. I just think this case...with this person with the reasons given is foolish beyond belief. Like I said the guy doesn't have the balls to represent himself on an internet message board...holy crap.

Yes, I have a calmness to myself when I do think about these kinds of situations. I probably could pull the trigger if it was me or them. However a gun may not be the only answer.

All I know is that I have no intention of getting a gun at any point in the foreseeable future and think the idea of somebody deciding to play Rambo during a terrorist situation is pure danger for all involved.


You know, I have been seeing something a bit disturbing in this thread and it is time to address it. Where the members of Flight 93 who fought the terrorists for control of the plane considered "dangerous Rambos"? Were they not successfull in thawrting the terrorists' plans?

I keep seeing this mocking attitude of people who want to stand up and fight the enemy should they attack us, yet I have seen no one mocking those people, or saying that it was a useless effort.

This is not mocking those on flight 93, but that is a one in a thousand thing. For that, I can say..what could the teachers done vs the Chechan rebels if they had weapons? What could the victims in the Oklahoma City bombing do? The WTC victims? Nothing. Terrorists, in most cases, won't even give you a chance to fight back. Very cowardly, but a harsh reality.

I'm not kidding. The ban on assault weapons is ending and is not going to be renewed from what I hear. I want to buy a weapon before they ban them again.

I grew up on a farm and owned several guns (shotguns, handguns, rifles) of different kinds into my late 20's. I sold them several years ago. I used to go hunting from time to time and I used to shoot clay pidgeons too. I'm a naturally good shot. I have been since I was a kid.

Since the school bombing / hostage situation in Russia, I've been thinking that I need to go buy a few guns. You never know what my happen in America. I told my wife this and I couldn't believe that she agreed with me. She is absolutey outraged about the Russian school issue.

We haven't owned any guns in the last few years. This is because my wife has a daycare (9 kids) in our home. It is just too dangerous. You never know what could happen. I'd have guns in my home if it were only my own kids in the house. I'd train them to respect guns and be safe with them. But with someone else's children in our home, the liability risk is just too high. That was our line of thinking until now.

I've been out of the gun world for a while. I'm out of the loop. I'm looking to you guys for advice. Obviously, I want something legal and easy to find. I know where to find a handgun, shotgun, rifle, etc. I want your advice on an assault weapon.

Here's what I am looking for:
1. Cheap. I don't have allot of money to spend.
2. Cheap ammunition.
3. Something that will throw allot of lead in a short time.
4. Something with a large magazine.
5. Something that is easy to shoot and upkeep.
6. Something that will scare the hell out of a terrorist when I point the "business end" of it at his temple.

There is no logic in your reasoning where you think you would stand a chance vs a Terrorist. This is why terrorists target civilians, because they are easy targets, whether they are armed or not.

I don't see what is so special about terrorists, what makes them so tough. They try to win by acts of terror, and seeing that you are obviously scared of them, they have won with you and countless others. I do not fear them, I just want to be ready in case they decide to attack around me at some point.

Just tell me what exactly you would do if terrorists took over your office building (if you work in one or not, hypothetical), and you had an assault weapon in your desk for such an occasion.

Well it is hard to say EXACTLY what I would do not knowing how this office space is set up (I work out of my home) and how many terrorists are involved. All I can really tell you is that I would not stand by and do nothing, even if I had no gun available to me. If you do nothing, they win. If you die while attempting to thawrt their plans, you win. I refuse to live in fear, but I do chose to be prepaired in case those who use fear come to town.

The obvious: automatic weapons allow the shooter to put out more rounds and reload/change mags quicker than weapons characterized as civilian sporting arms. Like the hand gun, they have a limited role. While they can be used for hunting purposes, that is not the intent. The ownership of these type of weapons really comes down to intent of use, political/philosophical bent and socio-economic environment (ie. living in Iraq and similar places). There is even a constitutional right/claim for weapon ownership and a citizens militia. A touchy issue much akin to the "war" in Iraq. Thank goodness we are an intelligent species able to think rationally to solve all our differences and not let nationality, religion or human emotion control our thoughts and actions.

Last time I checked terrorists don't mail in their plans. Well unless they are really bad ones.

And this has what to do with the price of butter in Moscow? The enemy typically does not forward their plans of attack, so I do not see what is so special about it in this situation.

Say something happened at a place he was at. How long would it take him to get that gun out of where ever it is being held.
Depends on where he keeps it and how close he happens to be to it.

I think he mentioned his home is a day care so I hope that bad boy is locked up really well.

Or maybe just in another part of the house that the kids have no access to. A single locked room does the trick nicley.

From there, I just don't believe that people without a lot of military experience would go attacking them like Rambo. This is biggest stretch of my argument though I understand.

How many people on Flight 93 had military experience? I honestly do not know. This is as you say the biggest stretch of your argument. And why just miliatry, is law enforcement experience not acceptable?

So it comes down to....

I have no way of knowing the guy's future, and I rathe rdoubt that you do either.

If he is...will he be in the place that his gun is at?

If you are still talking about the AR, maybe, maybe not. That is why a concealed handgun is nice thing to have.

If he is...how would he have time to do get this gun and prepare himself to do anything about the situation...

Once again, how close is he to it, and just how locked up is it?

Also, there are some instances where you don't have to prepare yourself, you just have to act.

I don't have a strong feeling about the bannings of guns either way. I have no problem with someone owning a gun legally. I just think this case...with this person with the reasons given is foolish beyond belief. Like I said the guy doesn't have the balls to represent himself on an internet message board...holy crap.

Oh, so this is all personal. My comment was more of a general one. I do not hate GF, nor do I like him. In all honesty I hardly realize he exists most of the time. I will now excuse myself from the bash on him, if you want to talk guns then I am interested. ;)

And I do not disagree with this. BUT, it is not the military and the police that the terrorists usually attack. It is the civilians. The police and military probably will not be able to show up in force right as the attack is happening. That leaves only civilians to begin with. Use your head here.

This is not mocking those on flight 93, but that is a one in a thousand thing. For that, I can say..what could the teachers done vs the Chechan rebels if they had weapons? What could the victims in the Oklahoma City bombing do? The WTC victims? Nothing. Terrorists, in most cases, won't even give you a chance to fight back. Very cowardly, but a harsh reality.

Fight back? Just a thought.

The OKC bombing was a true situation where the civilians could do nothing. The WTC victims that were in the buildings and not the planes were in the same boat. However, as proven by Flight 93, the passengers on those planes involved did not share the same circumstances.

A bit of background on myself would work wonders in this situation, as I've always told fighting is not the answer. I've always been taught, if a mugger wants your wallet, just hand it over. I've also been taught life is the most sacred of all things. Its also sort of a built-in thing with my religion, as over history, we have been passive.

I've always argued that human nature wins over all, and I've always thought self-preservation was at the top of the list. Thats just me though.

To me, there are some things more important than my own life. If there is a possibility I can do any damage to the enemy I'll do so, especially if it could make a difference in someone else's life, wether that person be one of the people also being attacked, or a rescuer who has one less bad guy to face.

I am not the most important person in this world, therefore I will not act like it.

A bit of background on myself would work wonders in this situation, as I've always told fighting is not the answer. I've always been taught, if a mugger wants your wallet, just hand it over.

I was told growing up that you should walk away from a fight whenever possible. However, I was also told that is not always possible, and in which case the first punch usually tells the story.

What a demagouge hypocrite... In one post you say that the issue is about having guns at home, and in the other you're saying it's about the passengers of flight 93...

:rolleyes:


Actually if you would take the time to go back and read where I initially brought up Flight 93 you would see I was addressing the broader picture.

That broader picture is standing up to the terrorists, and both Flight 93 and guns in the home fall under this. There is no hypocrisy (I'm really not sure where you would see any) or demagougery, it is a comparison.

Of course I can see how a donkey fan could have trouble making the distinction.

This thread is a bit personal for me.

First off the Ban on assult Weapons is a Joke, you can still buy a legal gun thats almost an assault weapon.

Second, I have a right as an American citizen to keep and bear arms. So I think I should be able to have any gun, until I use one of these weapons to committ a crime. then my rights to bear arms should be taken away.

My father has been convicted on four counts of manufactuing machine guns. At the end of this month im sure he will be put in prison for the next two years and ordered to pay a fine in the range of $200,000. He is 60 years old, never took these guns off his property, and when confronted by law enforcement officers he showed them every weapon he has. Now I understand my father is guilty and did wrong. But I have a major problem with the Guidelines that establish the punishment for his actions. Since its a machinegun violation, he is being charged as if he robbed a bank with a weapon, when infact, the weapons were never taken off his property. I can't believe that could happen in America. This all started under the Clinton regime. I hope your Dad gets off the hook.

You know this how? From what I have seen civilians are terrorists favorite target. Sure the police and military will become involved once they get teh word, but who is fighting in the interim? The people the assholes are attacking.

There is no logic in your argument, and owning a weapon in case of car jackers, house burglars, muggers, or terrorists is not unreasonable. Exactly. Good point.

Kylo Ren
09-09-2004, 06:56 PM
There is no logic in your reasoning where you think you would stand a chance vs a Terrorist. This is why terrorists target civilians, because they are easy targets, whether they are armed or not.

Just tell me what exactly you would do if terrorists took over your office building (if you work in one or not, hypothetical), and you had an assault weapon in your desk for such an occasion. I don't know what you guys have against a citizen protecting himself? Why can't I have a gun to protect my family if I want to. What's wrong with that? If you don't want one, fine. But, if something ever did happen, you'd be running to my house asking for me to protect you. This world is a dangerous place. Terrorists are unpredictable.

In response to parents taking up arms against the terrorists you didn't exactly give a ringing endorsement of the idea -

Other quotes from this thread -

Its totally moronic to think a single person (or even a militia) armed with assault weapons would be able to actually stop a terrorist attack.

Several years ago, I was looking into an H-K 91 rifle (based on the German G-3). I was talking with my father and told him I was planning on getting it with the 5 round magazine and the 20 round magazine. I told him I was getting a block for the 5 round so that I could be legal in MO when I came home for deer hunting. (From what I was told, you're only allowed 3 rounds in the magazine in MO.)

Dad wanted to know why I wanted a 20 round clip to deer hunt in West Texas. Was I really that bad a shot?

"No, Dad," I replied. "I only need one or two shots to bring down a deer. The other 18 are there for the javalina."

Having been treed by a wild boar on a hunting trip to GA back when he was in the Army, he completely understood my point.

I hate those small little boars. They're fast and they'll rip you up in a heartbeat given the opportunity.

2. - Oppressive, dictatorial control. (I.E. - The Taliban)

I highly, HIGHLY, recommend AK-47s.
They can be had used for around $300.00, 30 round mags for $10.00, and 1K cases of ammo for about $90.00
Power wise,,,,,,,,and AK round, 7.62x39 is about the same as a 30-30 winchester round. Realistically about a 200-300 yard round. The AK will function relieably in more extreme conditions than you can.
They require little or no maintence and are usuer friendly. But they do tend to be sized for smaller framed folks.
There are MANY different makers of AKs. The Chinese "norinco" or "polytech" are my favorites.
Most all the Euro types are painted finish and rougher fit than the chicoms.
I also recommend doing some reading at "ak47.net" and then fill your pockets with available cash and hitting the first gunshow in town and buy one used from a person walking around with one for sale.
No paper trail that way and it is still perfectly legal, FOR THE TIME BEING.

I will not concede this argument, as you are wrong. Fascism is an organized series of authoritative controls. Terrorism isn't one of them. Using terror as a control is NOT terrorism. Terrorism is the destruction of life, done by cowards, to serve their agenda or purpose.

Oh, I stand by the statement still... We have professionals in this country to deal with terrorism crisis. We don't need every dumbass with an assault weapon showing up at hostage events thinking that they are going to be a hero.



I agree.

I will not concede this argument, as you are wrong. Fascism is an organized series of authoritative controls. Terrorism isn't one of them. Using terror as a control is NOT terrorism. Terrorism is the destruction of life, done by cowards, to serve their agenda or purpose.

I would humbly submit that Fascism is the goal and Terrorism is the chosen means of working toward that goal.

You see here I agree with you. But I am not talking about showing up after the fact, I am talking about what happens when the shit first starts to hit the fan, before the pros have been notified that something is going down. At that point is when civilians need to fight back.

By no means do I mean somebody should walk into the middle of a hostage situation after the police/military are on location.

Well, if you have an assault weapon in your office, at the school, on the plane, or wherever you are, then have at it. Seems to me that an assault weapon is a pretty poor terrorism fighting tool. If that's the reason a person is buying an assault rifle, they are either stupid, or don't understand how terrorism works (most likely both).

In hindsight, none IMO.

Although, from the proponents point of view, I just MAY see that a civilian could grab their assault weapon, take out a few terrorists. To some, that could be considered a victory. It may just piss the rest of them off, and cause them to kill more hostages. Of course, they may have planned on doing that already.

Of course, you may be speeding up the process by doing so...its very hard to tell.

Also, many of the terrorist attacks today are suicide bombings. Any kind of weapon against that sort of threat would be useless.

I suppose that all depends on the detonation process. If it's timed... yeah, you're probably f*cked. But, if the dude needs to manually detonate the explosives, well shooting him in the head before he does that would be quite effective.

Granted, but as we saw in Russia that is not the only way they will choose to attack. It's called being ready for any circumstance.
