Do the missles work? Also I am sure that if he does have working shells for a T-72 or working missles, I am sure he has to keep a tight inventory. Such as those in the US that own 50-cal sniper rifles. They are tightly monitered and licensed.

God bless the 2nd admendment, a right not legislated by the courts

Was that show on National Geographic?

Does anyone on this forum actually own a firearm?

[neo_hermes]

i own a few firearms...

[NGTM-1R]

I own a Colt M1911 and a .22/250 target rifle.

And that thing he's calling an M1917 US Light Tank? Bad, bad history. That's French. RT-17, but I'll have to look up the designation to be 100% sure.

I own a fully working Orion destroyer..

[achtung]

Ive got a fricken armory:
Model 88 12 gauge, SKS (Norinco made), MAK-90 (AK-47 variant), two 16 gauges (both breech loading), .30 Carbine M1 ( My personal favorite), .38 special, Colt Combat Commander .45 caliber ( same as m1911), .22 magnum rifle, Ruger .22 LR, 7mm Winchester rifle, 8mm Mauser, 30-30 winchester, and some big old Russian rifle that I can't figure out.  We keep them in storage most of the time except for the .22's and the .30 carbine.  I'll try to post a pic tommorow.

My dad has a friend who has over 100 WWII japanese rifles. I've seen them in his basement. It's more packed than an armory. But it's his right to have them, and he excersizes that right.

My dad used to buy and sell all sorts of military weapons. Hell, I may or may not know the possible location of a fully functioning MG-26(t)...

Does your dad's friend look like this? Did he get his shins blowed off in dubya-dubya-two? Has he killed fiddy men?



If so, I think I may know him.

Cotton? What a strange name.

[Nuke]

i thought about getting me a pistol grip pump action 12 gauge and join the local gun club, but i dont think they would let me take it on the bus

and really if you could get 100 terrorists together, each with a leagally obtained hand gun they could do massive damage. like sweeping through a large shopping mall or something.

The tests were conducted on the guy´s property, in San Francisco. And the show was on Odissey channel, not National G.
The SCUD missile the guy has mounted on the launcher was deactivated, otherwise he said Customs wouldn´t have allowed it. I suspect the Rapier missiles are also deactivated.
However, the guy has a huge armory of live shells, that he can fire on his tanks.
All the tanks are in perfect working order, only missing gas and ammo to fully work.

You can make a search for this guy´s name on the net. His name is  Jack Littlefield, and he is a mining tycoon, a billionaire.

[Thrilla]

I own a few hunting rifles, and a few shotguns and a pistol.  I like to hunt, but lately I haven't had time to sadly.    That and I have almost completely crossed over into Bow Hunting, which is fun as hell.  Though I still do of shooting of the ol' clay pigeons(about once every week or two) and the occasional Dove when it comes time in September.

Sounds like I would really like the guy.

I was baffled that private citizens can buy such things in the US. This guy in particular owns more tanks than some countries.

" He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power."

if the second ammendent was translated as loosly as the first these days, all americans would be able to own nuclear missles

[Rictor]

The fact that there are something like 30 million firearms in private hands in the US means that even if the entire military were to disappear tommorow, no one would ever stand a chance of mounting a successful invasion. Personally, I'm against restricitng gun, or in this case tank, ownership.

Cause when the USSR makes a comeback with zombie Stalin leading their armies, the crack-pot survivalist militias will be all that's standing between you and a Siberian re-education camp.

edit: By the way, for those of you "in the know", is it now legal to own automatic weapons? Cause I know that Clinton's gun ban thingy expired a little while ago, but does that now mean you can lawfully own an M16 or AK-47?

[Taristin]

You need a license to carry automatic firearms. It's not impossible to get one. The real estate broker who sold our home in florida had a machine gun license. And he'd go to ranges and fire them, too.

[EtherShock]

It's like New York. You mess with one of us, you mess with all of us, kind of scary though. This is not something I'm particularly proud of. Perhaps the 2nd Amendment was written as a psychological deterrent  against invaders.  Most people are responsible with their firearms. It's the few that aren't that scare me.
