Something really funny about gun control in America
I read this on one of Cracked.com's lists and I think it's hilarious. Basically there are absolutely no restrictions on buying mini-guns in America. Why? Because only an idiot would buy one. There are only 11 civilian units on the market (that's eleven guns total, not models). They cost around $400 grand each, and considering the rate of fire, it'll cost you around $3,600 per minute to fire one. I'm sure maintenance is a pain in the ass too!

Because guns are made generally for killing people, and that isn't very nice is it ?
Sporting reason I can understand and yes it is fun firing weapons, I enjoyed it when I was in the Military.
But civilians don't need guns do they, especially in countries like the US where a lot of people are insane lunatics.

The right to own a gun was not intended to be so you can protect yourself from other people, it was to protect your nation from the government.

Self-defensive and hunting. Protecting the Republic.

Well, isn't that nice coming from a citizen of "Mars." 😛
There are many responsible gun owners.

Well, that and self-defense and hunting.
Originally posted by KidRockWell that went in the shitter right about the point where the government got better weapons and made money off the weapons.
