Something from Lithuania... Maybe I would like to have a gun, that would make me feel a lot safer. 20 minutes from my house and you are in the heaven of drugs dealers. I was attacked one time, that was just one year ago, they took my Nokia 6230i, I got to choose cell phone or the knife in my body and it was almost there. And that's just for drugs or money which isn't so big...

Someone wrote that he doesn't know anyone who was burgled or mugged, but I don't know who wasn't... If you want to stay alive, kill first or you will be killed just in few seconds.

That brings up something interesting. I've heard that gun ownerlikeb> to kill people...whiskey tango foxtrot!

I don't think anyone wants to kill anyone, not even military personnel.

I agree with you... I just wish that I will leave this country in few years...

I don't think anyone wants to kill anyone, not even military personnel.

I was in the AF, and am planning on going into the army, most likely to shoot for their 18X option. Combat arms for sure. But that doesn't mean I ever want to have to shoot someone.

I just know if I ever have to, and I can't...it'll be the last thing I ever wish for.

why do people have such a hard time setting up a proper poll?

There needs to be an option between

No, but I will someday

&

No, I'm totally against them

I don't own one, and I never will, and I'm not against them...

Spot on. Even at least add 'other' as a choice.

I don't own one, I never will but I'm NOT against them.

Yeah, okay, I get it.... It's a grammatically incorrect phrase used to describe driving while under the influence of alcohol.

But I would've thought with all of the jokes you posted earlier you may have a sense of humor. My bad....

It was just the image of someone shuffling about town in a martini glass that had me laughing.

.177 and

.202

air rifles.

CO2 or pump?

I hope you say pump 'cause we don't want the environmentalists curtailing your right to own a gun.

Side note: ever notice that "mental" is a part of being an environmentalist? Just wondering....

And maybe the last thing you ever do....

I wouldn't cite Bowling for Columbine without verifying the validity of Moore's claims, because if all of his points are as erroneous as his Utopian portrayal of Toronto and Canada then I wouldn't put much stock into them. :p

Sometimes Fred i wonder if you live in a nice quiet bubble called plesantville.

Ive had this out with you before. The Majority of gunowners dont break any laws. Thje association you make ****es me off abit.

the point?

As most robberies happen during the daylight when the occupants are at work, guns dont solve the problem

Most people that own a gun have them for recreational purposes and harm nobody.

Yeah, I concur with the Pleasantville comment; some people do live in a bubble or perhaps they believe their willful ignorance is an indication of superiority. I think some opinions on this thread (from both sides of the argument) are using over simplified logic to support their views.

For example if gun owners are limited to people who break the law then may I suggest another far out generalization; I have no need for BitTorrent since I do not pirate software.

Anyway, my answer to the poll is no. However, I'm not necessarily against guns, nor do I wish to own one in the future. I have no problems with responsible people owning guns. How do you deny gun ownership for people who will not use it responsibly? I suppose therein lies the problem with much of technology that is capable of being abused. If I was ever put in a situation where having a gun could have saved someone's life, or if a loved one was killed with a gun maybe my opinions would change. I don't know. There are some solid points for both pro and con.

Blah blah blah zzzzzzzzzzzz.

I own several guns, and regrettably I've killed far too many people with them.

Edit: My 1,000th post was horribly depressing for me.....

I guess I shouldn't give people fuel to the fire. The only reason I killed anyone was because Russia has National Service, and well I ended up being put into the 2nd Guards Tamanskaya Motor Rifle Division, which is a constant readiness division and well as soon as I got there, I end up being reassigned to Chechnya, and well I'd rather save the lives of my countrymen, than die the death of a fool.

    • Sennheiser's audiophile grade HD 600 hits lowest ever price on Amazon Prime Day 2026 by Sayan Sen If you are in the market for high-quality audiophile-grade over-ear headphones then Sennheiser's HD 600 are a great choice for sure, especially today on Prime Day 2026 as the product has hit its lowest ever price (purchase link under the specs table down below). The Sennheiser HD 600 has long been regarded as a reference headphone for listeners seeking a detailed and natural listening experience. It is an open-back design that is built around the idea of acoustic transparency which is essentially said to allow sound waves to move freely for a more spacious and accurate presentation by reducing turbulence and the type of distortion that can result from it. At the heart of the product is Sennheiser’s proprietary driver system featuring a 42 mm driver paired with a lightweight diaphragm and aluminum voice coils. The company says this design helps deliver fast response times and better articulate sound across the audible frequency range. Comfort and durability are also key aspects of the HD 600 as the headphones feature soft velour ear pads designed for extended listening sessions. The HD 600 comes with a detachable 3-meter cable, a 6.3 mm stereo connector, and a 3.5 mm adapter for compatibility with a wide range of audio equipment. The technical specs of the Sennheiser HD 600 are given in the table below: Specification Value Transducer Principle Dynamic, Open-Back Ear Coupling Circumaural (Over-Ear) Frequency Response 12 Hz – 40,500 Hz Sound Pressure Level (SPL) 97 dB (1 V) Impedance 300 Ω Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) < 0.1% (1 kHz, 1 V) Cable Length 3 m (9.8 ft) Connector 3.5 mm Stereo Jack Plug Included Adapter 6.3 mm (1/4") Stereo Jack Adapter Weight 260 g Magnetic Field Strength 1.8 mT Driver Size 42 mm Dynamic Driver Diaphragm Size 38 mm Get it at the link below: Sennheiser HD 600: $237.00 (Sold by Electronics Expo, Shipped by Amazon US) (Was: $449.95) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • So the card is targeted at headphone users - so the review should be from someone that uses this - maybe I can review a card next time.
    • I have a older F4-210 NAS, it is pretty basic, the CPU is not the fastest by a long way and only 1GB of ram, but it works fine. I don't understand the need for A.I in a NAS. It seems like A.i is being shoved into everything, if we like it or not. i will stick to my old Terramsater NAS, thankfully the OS is not being updated. Also, got myself a small NAs built using a Raspberry Pi 5. iy usesd less energy, so stays on all the time. As for the unit above, if it is as reliable as my old Terramaster Nas, then it will be a good unit.
