I tried guns once with friends but they were just ok, not something I would run out and get for myself. Maybe I am not a good American.

Or guns sounding like someone's rattling a box of steel scrap every time someone gently brushes up against one.
Gently brushing up against guns definitely fits my internal caricature of a gun nut.

Your average Battlemech has enough maintenance and supply costs to eat your average wannabe Mechwarrior out of house and home if they are not working for some government or other large, very wealthy group. And good luck getting the licensing and training necessary to not kill yourself.

Now Elementals and other powersuits, those are a real menace to society.
I only ever worry about weapons you can hide under your clothes. I'm not so up on my Mechwarrior but I know Elementals are small, but can you do that?

Guys, c'mon.

You're not actually supposed to argue about guns in a thread like this.
Maybe the thread should have been titled "fun" instead.

i think the military would be a lot more effective if we gave our guns guns
Isn't that what a rifle mounted grenade launcher is?

Are there actual gun arguments happening anywhere in the USA, or just pantomimes of one like this thread?

This is why the government should make gun safes tax deductible. A common-sense step to encourage those with guns to store them safely and keep them out of the hands of criminals.
What percentage of black market guns are stolen during home robberies, anyway? Since this thread is just the latest iteration of a loop that has basically always existed, I assume someone just knows off the top of their head.

I guess more in general, what's the primary way in which legal and registered handguns get into someone's car trunk about to be sold for $50?
