My dear Peaches no one makes you stay here even if it benefits you financially you have a choice.

Finally we have gotten to the truth, American freedom and inventiveness is the problem. Trump is a Nationalist and Patriot  who doesn't sell us out to foreign interests. Subservience just isn't part of our culture.

If you want a King of the world you need someone like Saddam Hussein who knows how to keep people in line. People will do what they are told or they might disappear. Neighbors will rat out neighbors for their own safety like they do in Cuba. There will always be shortages and you can get from those in power what you need and be grateful for the crumbs they give you.

You don't need a bunch of inbred fops from Europe taking turns sitting on a ceremonial throne! The problems they once had with free bleeders has mostly been overcome with the Royal Guards fathering many of the Royal children. Tell me Prince Charles sons look anything like him, I would enjoy the laugh.  "Major Bowles gave his wife for his country", that is just sad!

The Globalist Obama loudly stated we all want a piece of the pie and you didn't build that meaning highways and bridges. Actually we did build that with our tax dollars and there is more than one pie because we will just make more. There should have never been the opportunity for someone to be a career politician, all most seem to care about is their own power and privilege. Nancy Pelosi knows a large part of the American voters are dumb as a box of rocks or she wouldn't still be in Office, saying the insane things like "we need to pass the bill to see what is in it". Would you sign a contract you hadn't read first? Of course you would!

Top 6 Fun Guns Under $400



...

       Quote:
Some people feel the need to justify every gun purchase. Every new firearm, they figure, must serve a higher purpose if they’re going to shell out hard-earned cash to own it. Maybe it’s the gun that they plan on taking on a once-in-a-lifetime hunt. Perhaps it’s the competition gun that will help them win a title. Maybe it’s the ultimate home defense weapon. But for the rest of us, here's the big question: Since when do all guns need a comprehensive curriculum vitae? Why not just buy a gun because it’s affordable and
loads of fun to shoot
?


Sure, plinking cans in the backyard is slightly less ambitious than filling your once-in-a-lifetime bighorn tag or winning the Grand American, but there’s something to be said for whiling away the hours target shooting with no goal in mind other than having fun with friends or family and improving your shooting skills. Here’s a rundown of six guns that are sure to make you smile. Sure, you could use them to fill your freezer or defend your home, but you’re likely to spend more time just shooting these guns recreationally—and have a blast doing it.


...


Quote:
1. Ruger Wrangler
Like any fan of western culture, I wanted this .22 wheelgun as soon as I saw it. When I saw the price I wanted two of them. For under $250 you can own an authentic, American-made Ruger single-action revolver chambered for the ultimate plinking cartridge, and this is a gun that’s sure to bring you hours of fun at the range........

...


Quote:
2. Mossberg Maverick 88
I grew up in Ohio, and until recently shotguns were the firearm of choice for deer hunters. That meant that just about everyone in my neck of the woods had a scattergun, and we used them for everything from defending our homes to bagging upland birds and small game........


...


Quote:
3. SCCY CPX-1/2RD
Red-dot-equipped pistols are all the rage, but they can be costly. The SCCY CPX-1 and CPX-2 RD is the exception to that rule, though. For just $339 to $349 (depending on which model you choose—the CPX-1 has a manual safety, the CPX-2 does not), you get a 9mm semi-auto with a 10+1 capacity and a red-dot sight.........


...

Quote:

4. Taurus TX22

When Taurus launched the TX22, the company set a new standard for affordable rimfire pistol performance. This polymer-framed semi-auto holds 16 rounds of .22 LR ammo and weighs in at a scant 17.3 ounces, so just about any shooter can have fun with these guns. ..........

...


Quote:
5. Winchester Wildcat
Everybody needs a Wildcat. These affordable, reliable .22 semi-auto rifles clock in at just 4 pounds, and have a length of pull (LOP) of 13½ inches. That means that even young shooters can generally handle this gun effectively.......

...


Quote:
6. Savage Rascal Target XP
I cheated a little here. The list is supposed to be limited to guns that are $400 or less, but the $405 Rascal Target XP is too cool to pass up........


"
......Loads of fun to shoot
"
that all the reason an American needs to purchase any firearm he or she wishes, & they needn't express that need to anyone. It's his/her Right to Keep & Bear Arms, & he/she don't need to convince a damn soul with silly "legitimacy"or "necessity", especially not any government.......they get a gun 'cause they damn well want a gun.....it's the AMERICAN WAY!!!

I wonder which one Brian would chose. I bet he's green with envy.

Personally I like the look of Colt Python's.

Sad........my condolences to the families of the victims.

It's not the gun that killed those 15 19 Canucks, it was the Sicko who pulled the trigger, while they will try to pin it on the millions upon millions of law-abiding gun owners to pay the price for his cowardly & criminal act.

Its none of your business if people wish to own guns - nor governments. It doesn't matter what their reasons are.

RESPECT their wishes and stop attempting to crush the choices others make! People like Turd are dangerous - they ferment wars.

US citizens own 40% of all guns in world -
More than next 25 top-ranked countries combined



...




Source:      
The Independent
     Quote:
American citizens now own 40 per cent of all guns in the world - more than the next 25 top-ranked gun ownership countries combined - with the number only set to grow, according to new research.

According to a decade-long survey released by the Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies in Geneva, not only do Americans own the highest number of guns per capita, but also between 2006 and 2017, US gun owners acquired some 122 million new guns. That represented more than half of the 207 million new civilian-owned firearms around the world during that time.

“The biggest force pushing up gun ownership around the world is civilian ownership in the United States,” said Aaron Karp, one of the authors of the report.

Of the more than one billion firearms in the world, American citizens hold 393 million, for a population of roughly 326 million. According to the report, that is a gun ownership of 121 firearms per 100 civilians. The next highest rates are 53 in Yemen, 39 in Montenegro and Serbia, and 35 in Canada.

Japan and Indonesia on the other hand have reported rates of less than one firearm per 100 civilians.

“Ordinary American people buy approximately 14 million new and imported guns every year,” Mr Karp told a news conference at UN headquarters in New York.

Mr Karp identified lenient gun ownership laws as the culprit.

“Why are they buying them? That's another debate. Above all, they are buying them probably because they can. The American market is extraordinarily permissive,” he said.

Speaking to The Independent, Mr Karp said that "most Americans guns are not registered" but that his team are confident in their figures. He added that the data shows a "significant increase" in gun purchases "from 10, 20, 30 years ago."

But Mr Karp stresses that registration requirements in the United States are very low and vary from state to state, so many kinds of firearms in the United States go unregistered.

”If you own a genuine machine gun, that has to be registered. New York State and Connecticut for example requires handguns and semi-automatic rifles to be registered. [Those states are] the exception. In most places in America you just walk into a store and buy a gun.”

Getting data on unregistered firearms can therefore be challenging, but Mr Karp said his team "worked hard"  to arrive at the figure of 393 million firearms both registered and unregistered. “Some figures were higher, some were lower, but we feel confident in that number.”.............continued



Their numbers don't include the estimated 30 to 35 million firearms Americans legally purchased since their study was made back in 2018, when this article was published (28+ million firearms, by their own 14 million a year estimates, & the 5+ million firearms legally purchased since the COVID-19 Pandemic was declared - most by first time gun owners).

So a conservative number of 30 million firearms purchased by law-abiding American Citizen since the article, plus their figure of 393 million, would put the number of Firearms owned in America by law-abiding American Citizens at somewhere around
425 Million
or so......


That's a 'guesstimate'  being there is absolutely no way for anyone to actually know simply because, by law, 90+% of all those firearms are not registered. Why? Because it's illegal for the US Government to keep & maintain a Federal Firearm Database, & most local registration ordinances/laws, New York State for example, are not enforced (an estimate of 70+% of those firearms will never be registered -
).

Australia comes up with a new 'Laser' weapon that makes conventional weaponry obsolete and archaic.
Americans are up in arms about not being able to get refunds for their now 'dated' weapons. Can't even sell them on Ebay.  Grin Grin
