That seems fine. Restrictions are good.

I wish we had pistols for target shooting, and guns / license requirements were cheaper.

Oh well. Pistol calibre carbines like lever cowboy guns are pretty popular, as there's some quiet ex - pistol ranges where those calibres can shoot targets.

I'm glad I live in a country where guns aren't A Thing (any country other than America), but I really want to go to a range where you can do crazy poo poo like fire a Tec 9 out of a moving car or dump an entire belt through an M60.

Could you not just do that OP? Actually having one in your house sounds so stressful

You sound like a massive pussy

How much does it cost to buy all the necessary poo poo, including a 9mm say? And shoot at a range.

Pistols are no go at all here. Someone shot up a school in the 90's.

I don't know the costs for a license (for rifles / shotguns), but afaik you need a gun safe attached to a floor - I'm renting atm.

You need to renew every 5 years too.

You should buy a gun and try it out on a target range. Otherwise, keep it locked in safe somewhere you do not have to rely on it. The reality is, is that if you are a leftist their is a huge probability that you use it on yourself. Keep it somewhere you don't have quick access to.

Guns are fun and more people should hunt. We've done a drat good job of wiping out a lot of the natural predators and culling the deer population for delicious meat is a good thing.

While driving, she shot at two girls in another car. She shot through her own back window, shattering it.

OP if you feel like buying a gun, then go buy a gun. If you're on the fence or don't see yourself investing a bunch of time to get good with the gun, then don't buy the gun.

If you get one you gotta have a good place for it. Somewhere that it's gonna be ready to go. This is my little 9mm.



I found just the place for it.



Some rear end in a top hat comes through my window looking to take my freedom all I gotta do is offer them some toast and oh poo poo, 30 seconds later surprise gun!

You might be saying, what if you need more ammo! My method has that covered too



Drop that empty mag and catch another when it pops up! Hot and fresh.

How do you hunt in other countries? Are you allowed to have hunting rifles and shotguns, or has every other country outlawed everything but dull butter knives and sarcasm?

I'm not sure about mainland Europe where there's wild boar and bears and poo poo, but the UK doesn't really have a big hunting with guns culture because we basically don't have any animals where anything more than the bare minimum of firepower could be justified. Small-calibre bolt action rifles and double-barrelled shotguns are allowed for hunting/farming wild game, but it's extremely rare, difficult and time-consuming to acquire a license. It basically has to be your source of income, not something you do with the guys and a few beers on the weekend.

Also, whereas in America hunting seems to be something of a rural working class pasttime (I'm probably generalising here), in the UK the only people who are interested in it for sport are the worst sort of landed gentry upper class twats.

So if you hunt in America, people might think you're a rugged outdoorsman, if you hunt in the UK, people will just think you're a posh wanker.

If you don't shoot like poo poo pain is pretty minimal to the animal. A heart shot pretty much obliterates the organ and crashes their BP so hard that they're not conscious for more than a second or two.

hunting them is a humane solution to deer overpopulation

I never looked at it from a class perspective. In my part of California, we have mountain lions, bears and other things that easily knock you from the top of the food chain. We have wild pigs and tusked boar hogs that, I poo poo you not, are as big as full grown cows. There are so many goddamn deer that I've hit one with my car an average of once every four years.

poo poo, I think I'm talking myself into buying a gun...
