far-reaching effects like what?

you do get the drift of this thread though, in a sea of anti-Americanism at teh GFY, the caring about American gun culture here is just another snide anti-American jab.

You're so tough.

You tell him, tough guy. Man you're tough. And smart. Woah-doggy you're a smart man yessir.

**********, full of shit, as per usual.

Every sane person would understand that, Silent, but you're talking to Dynamo here. He's the biggest right-wing doofus I've ever had the displeasure of posting with. Don't back him into a corner though because when he realizes he can't fight anymore, he will just devolve into his boring old "republitard libitard canadiantard whatevertard" gibberish.

And definitely don't bring up the fact about how he lied to others on GFY, and that he changed quotes in posts, or that he thinks its ok for animals to suffer as long as the Koch Brothers can keep getting richer, or don't dare ask him about the REAL reason he's afraid to ride motorcycles. He will just start crying like the little bitch that he is, again. PS You know he's crying when he ads " 'tard" to every second word.

Cheers.

You are such a tough man! OMG what a man you are. Big man, big balls too I'm sure, right? Tough tough tough.

There's no Anti-Americanism at GFY, you fucking idiot. Red Neck Cow-fucks like you take genuine concern about racism, Hilarious political antics, and mass killings, and then turn it into anti-American rhetoric. Stop being such a little bitch and listen to some alternative ideas for a change you fucking pussy.

wait **********, you said you had nothing to say to me.

then you yap your trap exclaiming there is no anti-Americanism at teh GFY. :1orglaugh


more ********** canaduhian bullshit




and if anyone has 1 single fucking iota of research that reveals guns in America have far-reaching international effects, i'd enjoy reading that.

You see, this is the kind of stupid shit I'm referring to. People don't buy "military firearms" for hunting in the first place. As far as I know, that would be illegal in most States because "military firearms" & "assault rifles" are fully automatic.

Just because you feel like calling a gun something it clearly is not does not make you correct. A "short barreled hunting gun" is no different than a short barreled AR-10 with a 5 round magazine. YOUR chosen definition of "hunting gun" is based on what exactly? That the stock isn't adjustable? That it's not semi auto? That it's not black? That it doesn't accept magazines? All those scary things make it a "military gun" to you?

Seriously, you're not making any sense here.

Seriously and seriously? You take military firearm, mod it as semi-auto only and you think it is not military firearm anymore? It is the same fucking gun without full-auto capability, that can be suppressed even in guns possessed by military (like forced burst fire). You can call it whatever you want in there, in Somalia they have different legal definitions, and here in Finland again different definitions, so let's stay focused into those guns, not to the legal stuff.

My definition for hunting gun is a gun that is designed for hunting, or in broader terms for sport shooting too if such gun is used for hunting.

I have been in army and I can say that army's guns clearly differ from guns designed for hunting or sport shooting, especially when it comes to rifles. Guns are tailored for certain purposes. There aren't just guns; there are guns designed for specific situations and purposes.

One of the fastest growing shooting sports in America is 3-Gun. Head over to 3gunnation.com and let me know what manufacturers and rifle types you see used there.

Let me try saying this a different way....

WHO GIVES A FUCK WHAT THE GUN LOOKS LIKE?

An AR-10 chambered in 7.62x51 is just as effective for hunting as something like a semi-auto Remington 7400 chambered in .308. In some ways, it's even better because it's easier for the shooter to customize to their specific usage.

It's the bullet that does the harm and unlike you, the bullet doesn't care what the gun it's fired from looks like. The only valid response from you is to admit you're a pussy who's afraid of a black gun.

We're done here. :321GFY

I haven't even heard about some 3-gun, but we have something similar that is called as practical. It pretty much simulates shooting people and the weapons match that intent. That 3-gun seems very similar. It is sport shooting, but not exactly what I meant by sport shooting. However, the choice of weapons in that 3-gun supports what I have said.

You are the one that talks about the gun's look, I talk about for what it is designed for.

Travel and tourism, for starters. North of the border we are constantly inundated by the media about the daily stories of shootings...and I'm sure it has a deterrent effect at times on people wanting to travel or vacation in certain areas. It's perceived as a lot of civil unrest these days - and one never knows where another shooting is going to crop up.

Other far-reaching effects such as friends and family members being involved. Everyday I hear and read these stories and wonder if someone I know caught a bullet...wounded, killed.

Our border patrols officers have started carrying guns in recent years at border crossing due to the increasingly large numbers of weapons being smuggled back and forth. Costs, training and implementation of this isn't cheap...another burden to the taxpayer.

Of course I get the drift - and my reply above wasn't intended as a trite jab or bashing, merely an observation of what I see and hear everyday. It's genuinely a concern to some of us...and we're starting to see more mass shooting here in Canada these days - and whether that's an influence from down south is debatable. Just today in fact we had a mass shooting at a cafe in Woodbridge, just north of Toronto. Two dead...two injured (one in critical).

There's no doubt a ripple effect takes place.

isn't calling out concern as 'anti-americanism' a bit like brassmonkey decrying every concern about black culture as 'racist'? Sure, there are about 4 genuine anti-american members here, just like there are 4 or 5 genuine racists, 'this board is anti-america' seems a bit of a stretch to me though. Surely we don't need to tiptoe around US members here like we have to tiptoe around ethnic issues?

I'll never 'get' american culture simply because I'm not american, and I have no *real* leanings one way or the other as far as your gun stuff goes, other than to be baffled at the (and only the) 'we need it to fight the government' arguments.
