Any gun owners?

how about this...you buy a license - and it can be expensive - but it gives you permission to kill one person with your gun in your lifetime. in the open market system you can sell your one kill to someone, and you can go to this market and buy additional kills for your gun too, assuming you have the money.

i think that might work. i bet Kevlar sales would surge.

But rifle bullets go through kevlar like it's not even there.

Post your gun shots here

Hey I like it, we could call it the "Aholes to Angels Program"

Aholes would stop being aholes and more like angels or become a real angel real quick.

Ahh but one kill? The program should start out with about ten kills then drop to one after a few weeks. You know, with the economy and everything.

And you don't discriminate against those blind hunters either.

:p

Nope we dont. We allow Chicago people to hunt here also. We just ask that you learn the difference between a deer and a holstein.

unless they have a level IV ballistic plate. But then again my Barrett will punch right through just about anything.

Look up the SF story "Seventh Victim" by Robert Sheckley.

Our Canadian firearm laws sucks, but I recently obtained a gun license excited to do some plinking this summer You can say I shoot people and targets for fun.

I would say that our firearm laws are right where they should be now that the current government got rid of the long gun registry. Never did see a good reason for that except to satisfy the population in the large cities that didn't understand the need for them in the country. I personally like the fact that we keep a tight control on handguns. I don't see a value in packing around a concealed handgun, can't lead to anything good. I respect the Americans right to do this so please respect my right to this opinion.

Really, you want to post that.

I used to hunt all the time. Now the only cross hairs are in my camera. I am still licensed and still have all of arsenal that my son is taking over from me. Everything from large bore down to .22 along with some shots. I used to shoot competitively but photography won me over.
