Re: Will guns ever be outlawed in America
We had a shotgun under my parents' bed for years. It was pretty hard to get a license because of various political groups that were often killing each other. It was good for hunting and scaring off real or imagined intruders. Firing a 12 guage off makes a good noise. I wish we still had that gun. I don't like when gangsters have Mac 10s and AKs and sawn offs though.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

Yup. Loud as hell. First gun my dad let me shoot was a 12-gauge. Got some good partridge with it.

Re: Will guns ever be outlawed in America
The first time I shot a 12 gauge I was young enough that the recoil knocked me off my feet. I had only used an air rifle and .22s before then, a shotgun is way more impressive.Big Daikon wrote: ↑Thu Jul 21, 2022 6:51 amYup. Loud as hell. First gun my dad let me shoot was a 12-gauge.

I think I was prone the first few times I shot guns. Definitely with the deer rifle.Random Dude wrote: ↑Thu Jul 21, 2022 10:11 amThe first time I shot a 12 gauge I was young enough that the recoil knocked me off my feet.

Re: Will guns ever be outlawed in America
I remember being pretty damn impressed with the deer rifle the first time I tried that too. They're definitely something that demands respect and proper handling.Big Daikon wrote: ↑Thu Jul 21, 2022 10:27 amI think I was prone the first few times I shot guns.

I seem to recall my dad letting me shoot a 7mm Mauser rifle. Quite a kick for a teenage boy.Random Dude wrote: ↑Thu Jul 21, 2022 10:41 am I remember being pretty damn impressed with the deer rifle the first time I tried that too.

Re: Will guns ever be outlawed in America
When I was a kid a lot of people had ex WW2 .303 Lee Enfields lying around the house. Their fathers / grandfathers brought them back from the war and they were great for deer hunting. I blame being too close to a friend shooting one for my tinnitus in one ear.

Grew up in a coastal fishing village, as a kid, the Lee Enfield 303 was the favorite gun for dealing with the seals that robbed fish from the salmon drift nets.Random Dude wrote: ↑Thu Jul 21, 2022 11:48 am When I was a kid a lot of people had ex WW2 .303 Lee Enfields lying around the house.

The guns are all gone and so are the rights for salmon fishing.
