I will never own a gun. I don't see why America has the law to own guns. Guns lead to trouble, which we see alot of, in the media. In the UK, guns are banned, from everywhere, so it's quite rare to hear about gun crime in the UK.

Smith and Wesson .40 cal sigma series I have one of those. Trigger pull is terrible. Throws my aim off. When I got my Concealed Handgun License I bought a compact Springfield XD .40 cal. Trigger pull is about a third the weight, and it kicks less, so I shoot a whole lot better with it. Hell, I'm going to the range tonight with it. Yeah thats the only thing i don't like is the trigger. There is no safety on it so it just has the trigger staging. but its easy to take apart and clean so its cool.

I don't own any guns, but I did handle the following over the years (I once served in the US Army): *Some pistols *A pump shotgun *An M-16 rifle and an M-4 carbine *An M-249 SAW *That gun that's mounted on a Humvee (forgot what it's called) Top that! You can mount anything from a M249, M240, M1 .50 Cal, and MK19 Grenade Launcher on a Humvee. (All of which I've shot many, many times.) If we're talking Military, I've also fired an M9, M4, M14, Mausburg Breaching Shotguns, M16A4, Barrett .50 Cal, and M24 among various "enemy" weapons including the AK, RPD, RPK, RPG 7, and a s*** ton of pistols/assualt rifles. Oh, and I was a Javelin Instructor with 3 live fire missiles in Iraq, and 2 in training. That's over $250,000 worth of Anti-Tank goodness. (Though the 3 live fires was blowing up buildings, not tanks, of course.) Now I remember! It was the M85. During my trip to the Philippines in 1995, I handled my uncle's pump shotgun, and he introduced me to his friends, who had various types of guns, like a Micro-Uzi.

I don't have any guns as of yet, although I do know how to use them and can fire a few handguns. If I do I'll just probably train with them; safety is of course a main concern with them. So I suppose my anser is No, but eventually later on. Like someone else earlier I'm more of a melee weapon guy, swords and staves are my favorite kind of weapon to get up close and personal.

I used to have the gun that came with Duck Hunt does that count? No gun, but three blades: two daggers and a machete. I have a switchblade knife that I actually found when working at a movie theater while I was cleaning it. I need to start working as a janitor at movie theaters. I have this strange bile fascination for weapons. On one hand I am in favor of limiting their production and sale as much as possible and I hate the idea of civilians being allowed to carry guns... but if I had the chance of getting one, I probably would, but then again I'd probably keep it locked up somewhere and never touch it because I'd be too afraid to injure somebody or get injured myself. So yeah, I hate guns, sorta, but I can't shake away the idea that they're badass. Weird, huh? Also, I love bladed weapons, but really for coolness/aesthetics factor rather than anything else. But seriously, if I can get a sword, dagger, machete, saber, rapier, etc, sign me in. And I'm in love with fencing and swordfighting. Too bad the ones I see in stores are always so freaking expensive (and quite encumbering, really).

We need less guns in our streets. "right to bear arms" Sure, when the constitution was written...but today? I may start hunting again some as I'm moving again and my great aunt has quite a few acres nearby and lots of squirrel. What did cute little squirrels do to you? I get hunting for food but...unless squirrel is damn delicious.

I have a Dan Wesson .357 with the interchangeable barrel kit. 4 inch currently installed. I used to have a .357 Desert Eagle and a Mitchel Arms sterling silver Luger, but sold them because while they looked nice, were too much of a pain to upkeep, kind of like BMW's.

The Constitution merely states that the government will not infringe upon that right. It doesn't tell you what you can do. It tells you what the government can't do.
