GUNS!

so i went to another gunshow saturday... 500 tables large at a convention center. i resisted the temptation of arriving right at the opening, fearing lines of peeps clinging to their guns and religion clogging the entryway. i drove through torrential rain and dropping temperatures which eventually turned to snow... and arrived fashionably 1.5 hours late.

waited 2.5 hours in line and STILL didnt get in the door. ffs, it was a zoo. went to visit the bass pro shops and check out their shotgun inventory. not a single remington 870 or mossberg 500 in stock. grabbed a bite to eat and went back to the show. the line was longer.

you people clinging to your guns and religion... STOP IT! you're just posers. after all, a majority elected THE ONE. amirite?!?!?! let us true nutjobs buy moar guns already!!!

my bro-in-law and i have joked about opening up a gun shop. its just unbelievable the volume of transactions out there right now. a couple of years ago i could buy a quality box of .223 ammo for six bucks. now, its averaging like 29 bucks. over a dollar per bullet. jeez. try and find a place with ar-15's in stock. nobody has quality brands in stock. those that are taking back orders are looking at a 6 months wait. many are not even offering back orders. ive been looking for another shotgun, a tactical one, for the past 2 months. same issues. remingtons and mossbergs are sold out everywhere. i can find a few benelli's if i want to fork out $1800. fookin crazy i tell ya!

I can has guns please? Once I have money to splurge I plan on geting a SPAS 12 and a .357 for kicks. Do I has a problem?

Just be glad you don't live in a state like Ca where you can't even own these guns.

you will have no trouble finding a quality .357. importation of the spas 12 was made illegal back in '89, so there were always limited choices in circulation. they are legal to buy in most states if you can find one. they look mean, but are of poor quality imho. for what you'll pay at auction for a spas, you could almost get 2 mossbergs and much better quality. IF you can find them.

Godammits, i want a SPAS 12! I want!!!!!!!
A Chaingun would be cool.
And a Barrett!

damn, i didnt realize it was that harsh.

Whats the big deal about guns?

nothing keef, nothing at all.

I also dream big and would like to shoot a 50 cal sniper but that won't be easy. I'd get a sniper rifle anyway though. All in preparation for the inevitable zombie outbreak

We used them to defeat King George's army, that's what.

my dads got a .357, looks just like the one in dm but its black

Yea AR's are slim and far between right now. They still sell them in California, but you have to get the button magazine and have to change the center chamber out (illegally) to make it fully auto, which Ive been thinking about doing. I also have a .45 HK. Extended unmarked magazines are easy to get from Vegas.

You might want to check out Arizona for any type of weaponry you are looking for, even there I hear its slim pickings though.

And everyone buying guns, is because they expect to see shit hitting the fan with Obama's presidency. There will be a civil war if he try's to do anything with Americans weapons. If that occurs I will just get a Scar and a couple Kriss's.

I like guns. I have guns. Haven't shot anybody YET

It's 2009 guys, get nukes, their all over the news, it's the new trend!

Con, would you be willing to start a Vault-Tec-like company with me and a few other people?

Haha, Fallout 3!!!

I already got guns. And Impala, one of em is a completely stainless steel shotty. Talk about intimidation when you load the chamber. That sound is just so sexy.

Sad thing is that CCCP made 50.000 nukes during Cold War and the USA 70.000 nukes (each one a lot more powerful that Hiroshima's one). Many of those nukes were sold ilegally and others legally to Nuclear Energy Plants.

Hiroshima was an atomic bomb. These are nuclear bombs. They are two different things.

An atomic bomb is a nuclear bomb.

I believe the distinction you are trying to make is between atomic and hydrogen (or "thermonuclear") where atomic relies solely on fission a hydrogen bomb uses both fusion and fission. Reactions relying solely on fission have an inherit limit to the energy they can produce while those that use a mix of fission and fusion do not have this limit.

Hence, any true nuclear power moved away from atomic bombs and on to hydrogen bombs, because, to use a Carlinism, most politicians subscribe to the "bigger dick" theory.

well i finally found one. picked up a mossberg 590 on my way home tonight. last one they had.

Well, duh. I obviously meant that in my post. ; P
