All guns are legal in the U.K. as long as you own a licence for one.

Handguns are NOT legal in the UK, not even for sporting purposes. Only the Police, security services and military can legally carry/use a handgun and even then only under strictly controlled circumstances. And technically none of these "own" the handgun, the state does.

I don't own one, but I've shot one PLENTY of times. My parents are like uber protective. They have 4 "handguns" hidden in various parts of my house, were noone can find unless there looking, incase you know what happens.

We are BIG hunters since we do live in the great state of Tennessee. My Step-Dad has about 30 riffels, cba to type all the names out.

Beware before you come to my house, unless you want to be shot.

Yes I do have guns at home. The Second amendment is a beautiful thing.

A 12-gauge Shotgun

A 22 caliber taget rifle

and a .45 caliber pistol

Killing animals and protecting myself against the government are such fun things

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH Don't shot me :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

I've got a 12 gauge. My cousin has a ****load of guns though, ranging from AK-47's to shotguns to pistols... he's got a lot! I haven't shot it yet because I've got to get my cousin to clean it since he knows how. (I'm not into guns too much, but I got it for protection, more or less.)

Yeah I do, a 10 and a 12 Gauge shotgun, I don't really use them for killing though.... anybody here ever shot skeet or sporting clays (Y) it is alot of fun.. you can read more here: http://www.mynsca.com/

This is a question for everyone who said "No, I'm totally against them"

Have you ever played a FPS game? If you don't believe in guns do you still play games that involve them? :huh:

I don't own a gun, I never will own a gun.

Since I don't break laws then I don't need one.

I don't know anybody in jail, anybody who's been to jail or anybody that's been arrested.

I have never had my house, my car, my parents house or my parents car ever broken in to.

The only house that I have ever heard of being burglarized was somebody who bragged at the office and their co-worker's teenage son attempted to break in.  He was arrested at the scene.

I have confidence that the cops would arrive within a few minutes of dialing 911 and I don't fear for my own personal protection nor my family's.

Wow, you really are from Canada :p I think I could agree with every single one of those. (Y)

IMO, if you live in a country that you feel the need

of having a gun to protect (self defence) yourself,

then the problem is there...

I agree. Any society where you need to have a gun to feel safe isn't much of a society at all.

The fact that most Americas have guns in their homes was a major detering factor for Soviet invasion, according to retired generals. They believed had they invadaded, there would have been way to maintain order.

Also, gun control is actually a very poor way to decrease crime, according to national studies here in the US.

I have my guns for two reasons. 1 I like guns, I like to shot targets, Clay, and Cans. 2 to protect myself and my family. My father had guns and still does in his home. I grew up with guns in my house and I felt safe. I have friends that guns saved there lives, and they didn't even fire it, the sight of a gun can spot a crime from happening. People don't need guns to feel safe, but the cops won't be there when someone is breaking into your home and you have to make a choice, call the cops and wait for them to come so the criminal can hurt your family or are you going to take matter in your hands and stop the crime from going on. All gun Legal gun owners are going to kill someone they use them to protect themselves or for a hobby. About all crimes commented are with guns that are Illegal.

Yep, a few:

Remington 870 Wingmaster SP 12ga.

Marlin .22 Semi rifle

Beretta M9

Sig Sauer P226

Ruger Single-Six .22

Mossberg .410

Walther P99 & PPK/S (.380)

Soon - HK USP .45

I enjoy dove hunting, target shooting, the pistol range and varmint hunting. Currently in training. Applying to law enforcement soon(US Marshal/FBI/Secret Service). Hopefully I can get into one of them...

    • Windows 8 and Vista were far worse. Both of those got marginally better at the very end. Just look at their adoption rates and support life-span. If those versions had as much social media in their time they would have ripped apart unmercifully.
    • I must admit, this is probably the only game at the moment where I can see that $80 price point being ok. The issue will be when other developers think they can get away with it with half of the work.
    • Google Wallet expands TSA PreCheck Touchless ID access to more travellers by Fiza Ali Google has announced that Google Wallet is becoming the first digital wallet to integrate with TSA PreCheck Touchless ID. It is a programme that lets eligible travellers move through participating airport security checkpoints using facial recognition instead of showing a physical ID or boarding pass. While the TSA PreCheck Touchless ID programme has been available for some time, using it hasn't always been straightforward. The programme currently operates at 65 airports across the US, but participation has largely depended on flying with a limited number of airlines. Travellers also had to upload passport information separately through participating carriers. Now, the tech giant's new integration is designed to remove some of those extra steps. With the update rolling out in the coming weeks, travellers with TSA PreCheck membership will be able to enrol in Touchless ID through Google Wallet and use the service with any of the 100 airlines participating in the programme. Rather than repeatedly submitting identification details, users can store a digital ID in Google Wallet and use it to streamline future trips. Setting up the feature is relatively straightforward as well. The process starts with users creating a digital ID in Google Wallet using their passport information. After checking in for a flight and saving a boarding pass to the app, eligible travellers will see a "Get started" option that directs them to the TSA enrolment process. Once users choose to share their ID pass and boarding pass information with the TSA for a specific trip, the agency will verify the enrolment. If approved, a TSA PreCheck Touchless ID indicator will appear on the boarding pass stored in Google Wallet, signalling that the traveller can use designated express Touchless ID lanes at participating airports. As privacy and security are likely to be key considerations for many travellers, Google says users must explicitly opt in before any information is shared with the TSA, and authentication is required through a device PIN, pattern, or biometric verification. The company also notes that digital IDs stored in Google Wallet remain encrypted and are kept on the user's device. For frequent flyers who already use TSA PreCheck, the new integration could remove a few more steps from the airport security process, making travel slightly faster and a little less cumbersome.
    • Even though MS had to sunset the Windows Subsystem for Android, you can apparently use BlueStacks to run Android in Windows now. I haven't tested this yet, so if anyone has any feedback, I'd love to hear it.
