Killing somebody or seeing somebody die is not what i call "cool".
Ok, that's pretty ing intense.
Do you feel no anger, though, at the people who made that firearm accessible to that particular guy? The government's lax gun laws? From a situation like that, you should be more anti-gun than anyone, but you seem to have embraced gun culture as acceptable, knowing what the potential results can be?

From my perspective, all of that still seems like a remarkably easy way to procure a deadly weapon. This is to say nothing of the fact that this 'ease' would be fueling an enormous black market for guns.
I'm not naive enough to think that there are no guns in Australia, despite our strict firearm laws, but here it's ING hard for some some unstable weirdo to just go out and buy a device that could end multiple lives within seconds. Legally purchased, or otherwise.
I just think there is no necessity for guns
We cannot do that here, due to the second amendment. It part of our bill of rights that the people are allowed to own personal firearms. The chances of that overturned anytime in the near future is VERY VERY VERY slim. Of course there are people who lose those rights, say for example felons. I say this not because "GUNS...HELL YEAH" type of attitude, but because in reality the U.S. banning all guns will not happen.

No i do not blame firearm laws. If the person wanted to kill my mom, they could have easily have done it with a knife, bat, or any other type of weapon. 99.99% I blame the person. 0.01% i blame the drugs.
I'm going to bed now. i have to wake up in 4 hrs. night.

eerily similar to what the joker said in dark knight :o

you've got that right :D
i've only shot rocket launchers twice, and with an 11 mm inlay pipe, so it wasn't really "full power", but it was fun.. hard to hit that ing target tho, when i had 25 seconds ,from the instructor yelled "panzer xx meters", to to get the launcher from my back, set it up (pull of the lids, pull it out and aim, then fire.. we ing practised for two days before we got to handle a live one..

I think u should spend you're money on trying to get laid instead of jerking off to deadly weapons.

I can understand the desire to own one gun, especially if you live in a dangerous area.
What I don't understand are people who have some kind of fetish for "collecting" guns. Seems to me that these are the sort of people who must fantasize about a criminal breaking into their house just so they can get their rocks off by shooting them down.

Never has the whole of human weakness and degeneration been so effectively personified in a mere tool.
If killing somebody is as easy by any means other than guns, then why own a gun? Just own a knife.

I can understand if you have at least 2 guns in a home. But, indeed, a "collection" of arms is absurd. I am for the rights to bear arms in this country.
But, people here need to realize that it's CRIMINALS/FELONS who make their decisions on how to use a gun. NOT THE CIVILIANS. Gun laws only hurt the law-abiding citizen.

Why do people collect action figures? Stamps? Cars?
I don't collect or own guns (except for 2 Airsoft) but the sight of a gun gives me boyish excitement - "how cool is that!". So whatever, guns kill people. So do knives - I get excitement from seeing a cool knife. Or a cool electronics gadget. It's a matter of liking something, not having fantasies of killing people. Just because guns happen to kill people, doesn't mean people who collect them are dysfunctional waiting-to-happen-criminals.
Also, guns involve contained explosions and fire. And we all know how boys like explosions and fire.
