Im a pretty avid shooter and between my dad and myself have a good array of long guns and handguns.
Any other shooters out there?
Feel free to share some of the guns you are particular proud of having.

We got:
Ak-47
SKS
Mosin Nagant
FMA 1927 Colt (made from a German battle ship Wink )
Dan & Wesson 357
plus an assortment of other 9mm & 380 handguns

My particular favorite:
Marlin .17HMR bolt action. She is my wonderful small game slayer!
Second favorite, Ruger 10/22 with high-capacity mags. Nothing beats that gun for cheap plinking fun!

+ 1 for the 10-22. It's idiot proof, shoots straight and is perfect for a beginner to learn Firearm Safety and Handling.

Personally, I'm into black powder shooting and have a Thompson Center .54 Hawken muzzle loader, and two pistols; a Spiller & Burr .36 cal revolver and an Uberti reproduction Colt Walker .44 revolver.

The Walker was the largest, heaviest revolver ever made (4lb. 9oz.) and until the introduction of the .357 Magnum in 1935 was the most powerful revolver in the World. 1,000 were manufactured by Samuel Colt & Eli Whitney Jr. for the US Mounted Cavalry and another 100 were made for the civilian market in 1847.

For firearm collectors, the Colt Walker is one of the rarest firearms in existence, and the possession of an ORIGINAL Walker
is considered to be the pinnacle of one's collection.

Clint Eastwood carried two Walkers in The Outlaw Josey Wales, and retired Texas Ranger Captain Augustus McRae carried one in Lonesome Dove.

But wouldn't the World be a much better place if everyone had Pointy Sticks, instead of Very Big Guns...

..and just used them to spear Marshmallows to roast over a nice warm fire, to share with your fellow brothers and sisters, in peace, harmony, and goodwill... Smiley...!

Remember Woodstock, '69?....Free Love?...(and Joe Cocker?)... Smiley.... Smiley...!

Paul... Cheesy...!

If we had pointy sticks instead of guns, invariably conflict would arise as to who has the biggest, pointiest stick, then undoubtedly someone might be killed vying for the largest, pointiest stick.

The old saying "Guns don't Kill people; People kill people" would apply in this scenario, as well.

The problem isn't going away by sticking your head in the sand; having peace, harmony and goodwill in the World is a two way street. Sure, we want it... but do the Syrian, or Iranian, or Georgian, or Somalian regimes even think of such things or are they so lost in their ideological beliefs that it doesn't even evoke a serious thought?

Huh

.22 rifle (with moderator Smiley)
S&W .357 K frame on a six inch barrel
Sturm Ruger P89 with two 15 round magazines (pre ban Cool)

Nice to see we got some shooters here!

About the 10/22 being idiot proof...if I can operate it flawlessly, its idiot proof! ALTHOUGH I must say sometimes it can get a wee bit picky on ammo brands.

About mankind always fighting, my favorite musician has this song called "Some Humans aint Human"
A line of which goes "Jealousy and Stupidity don't equal harmony"..which is to say, EVERYONE gets jealous and EVERYONE is an idiot about something and we all have opinions that rarely completely agree.
Me, Im an idiot about most things  Wink
But at least I admit it openly!  Grin
