Show us your guns!

[Noxx72]

Not a fan of the .357 Sig round, but i've shot a few of those new steyrs in 9mm and really enjoyed em. Triangle sights take a moment getting used to but they acquire very fast. Really good utility gun IMHO.

 

[Dirtystinknape]

Agreed. The sights are a lot different than anything else I have ever had. I wish I still had that single guy money that I used to have(and still keep the wife LOL) for some more toys. All you guys have some really nice weapons and wouldn't mind having a few myself.

 

[Hatter]

The two top ones are .22 cal. : an old H&R revolver, and a Ruger 22/45.

The next two down: Vanquero .45LC. SS w/ Pearlite grips; Llama .45 acp

The last two are my Ruger SP101 2.25in bbl with lazergrips, and FEG 9mm para.

Not pictured is my newest addition, a Taurus Millennium Pro PT 745 .45acp, my current carry gun.

Didn't know we had any S.A. folks around here, I just gave away a Vaquero in 44-40WCF because I couldn't find a buyer on it, everyone wants LC.

I love my .45LC. I got a right hand Black Hills Leather gunbelt with a 6 inch drop holster, 24 bullet loops in a three-quarter pattern, sterling silver buckle and Conchos on the belt, and a sterling silver "H" on holster itself. It cost me almost as much as the gun did, but it was worth it.

now that is just flat out pretty.:clapping:unk:

 

[Hatter]

Thanks!

I don't get to wear it out very much but every once in a while, I will strap up and wear it out under my duster.

Plus I can play cowboy on Halloween. LOL

Other than that, it looks good hanging on the wall.

:stir pot:

well, on the 9th of Jan. Illinois congressman Bobby Rush, introduced a bill on the first day of the 111th Congress that shows what we can expect. If we don?t defeat this bill, and others expected to follow it, gun owners will lose guns and the industry will suffer harm beyond description.

Under HR 45, if you can?t pass a complex test written by the U.S. Attorney General (described in detail below), pay the tax, give up fingerprints and a biometric-capable photo of yourself (that can be turned into a digital facial-recognition number and used as a de facto national ID), every gun you own will become contraband and subject to confiscation, while you stand trial before imprisonment. You?d think Bobby, a former black panther, would know better.

yeeha boys and girls this is what we get to play with in OZ.

 

[Frosty72]

That's all I got for guns. One 10-22 and my grandpas old 12 gauge that you can't even shoot anymore.

So I put in my paintball "guns" too.

Wish I had more money for guns but it's hard to spend that much on anything but the bike!!

good looking marker. After I quit the university to make ends meet I opened a paintball shop doing customs, repairs and refurbishes. here are a few of them.

Nothing like kicking an old thread!

The main reason I haven't been around the forums much lately, is that I've been both really busy with MC stuff, and doing a TON of horsetrading in the firearms world. I hate to say I've taken advantage, but I have. With the recent madness for anything resembling an assault rifle, and accordant fear-buying, I traded away several of my SKS rifles (real value of $200) for their inflated value, and picked up a number of nice S&W revolvers along the way.

My collection is no where near filled out, but in the last 6 weeks I've picked up a 27, 29, 19, 66-2, and a 629. Along with a Marlin Camp-9 I've been looking for, and an old Colt Police positive.

I gotta build a new revolver display shelf in my office on account of all the fooling around I've been up to

IT IS GETTING VERY SERIOUS NOW​

​

By Chuck Baldwin, May 12, 2009 - [FONT=Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif]NewsWithViews.com[/FONT]
[FONT=Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif]
[/FONT]​

[FONT=Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif]First, it was a Missouri Analysis and Information Center (MIAC) report; then it was a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) report; now it is a New York congressman's bill. Each of these items, taken on their own, is problematic enough; taken together they portend "a clear and present danger" to the liberties of the American people. It is getting very serious now.[/FONT]
[FONT=Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif]
[/FONT]​

[FONT=Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif]As readers may recall, the MIAC report profiled certain people as being potential violence-prone "militia members": including people who supported Presidential candidates Ron Paul, Bob Barr, and myself. In addition, anyone who opposed one or more of the following were also included in the list: the New World Order, the U.N., gun control, the violation of Posse Comitatus, the Federal Reserve, the Income Tax, the Ammunition Accountability Act, a possible Constitutional Convention, the North American Union, the Universal Service Program, Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), abortion on demand, or illegal immigration.[/FONT]
[FONT=Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif]
[/FONT]​

[FONT=Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif]The MIAC report prompted a firestorm of protest, and was eventually rescinded, with the man responsible for its distribution being dismissed from his position. The DHS report profiled many of the same people included in the MIAC report, and added returning Iraq and Afghanistan war veterans as potentially dangerous "extremists."[/FONT]​

[FONT=Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif]As I have said before, it is very likely that when all of the opinions and views of the above lists are counted, 75% or more of the American people would be included.
[/FONT]
[FONT=Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif]
[/FONT]
[FONT=Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif]Yet, these government reports would have law enforcement personnel to believe we are all dangerous extremists that need to be watched and guarded against. If this was not bad enough, a New York congressman has introduced a bill in the House of Representatives to deny Second Amendment rights to everyone listed above.[/FONT]
[FONT=Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif]
[/FONT]​

[FONT=Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif]According to World Net Daily, May 9, 2009, "A new gun law being considered in Congress, if aligned with Department of Homeland Security memos labeling everyday Americans a potential 'threats,' could potentially deny firearms to pro-lifers, gun-rights advocates, tax protesters, animal rights activists, and a host of others--any already on the expansive DHS watch list for potential 'extremism.'[/FONT]​

[FONT=Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif]"Rep. Peter King, R-N.Y., has sponsored H.R. 2159, the Denying Firearms and Explosives to Dangerous Terrorists Act of 2009, which permits the attorney general to deny transfer of a firearm to any 'known or suspected dangerous terrorist.' The bill requires only that the potential firearm transferee is 'appropriately suspected' of preparing for a terrorist act and that the attorney general 'has a reasonable belief' that the gun might be used in connection with terrorism.[/FONT]
[FONT=Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif]
[/FONT]​

[FONT=Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif]"Gun rights advocates, however, object to the bill's language, arguing that it enables the federal government to suspend a person's Second Amendment rights without any trial or legal proof and only upon suspicion of being 'dangerous.'"[/FONT]​

​

[FONT=Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif]WND quotes Gun Owners of America Executive Director Larry Pratt as saying,
[/FONT]
[FONT=Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif]
[/FONT]
[FONT=Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif]"By [DHS] standards, I'm one of [DHS Secretary] Janet Napolitano's terrorists. This bill would enable the attorney general to put all of the people who voted against Obama on no-gun lists, because according to the DHS, they're all potential terrorists.
[/FONT]
[FONT=Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif]Actually, we could rename this bill the Janet Napolitano Frenzied Fantasy Implementation Act of 2009."[/FONT]
[FONT=Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif]
[/FONT]​

[FONT=Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif]Pratt was also quoted as saying, "Unbeknownst to us, some bureaucrat in the bowels of democracy can put your name on a list, and your Second Amendment rights are toast." He went on to say, "This such an anti-American bill, this is something King George III would have done."[/FONT]
[FONT=Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif]
[/FONT]​

[FONT=Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif]Now that DHS has established both a list and a lexicon for "extremists," it looks to Congress to confer upon it police-state-style powers through which these individuals may be disarmed and eventually done away with. Rep. Peter King is accommodating this goal with H.R. 2159.[/FONT]
[FONT=Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif]
[/FONT]​

[FONT=Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif]Let me ask a reasonable question: how long does anyone think it would be, after being profiled by DHS and denied the lawful purchase of firearms, that those same people would be subjected to gun confiscation? And how long do you think it would be before DHS began profiling more and more groups of people, thus subjecting them to gun confiscation?[/FONT]
[FONT=Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif]
[/FONT]​

[FONT=Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif]This was exactly the strategy employed by Adolf Hitler. The Jews were the first people denied their civil rights--especially the right to own and possess firearms. Of course, after disarming Jews, the rest of the German citizenry was likewise disarmed. And we all know where that led.[/FONT]
[FONT=Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif]
[/FONT]​

[FONT=Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif]I'm not sure how many of the American people realize that it was the attempted confiscation of the colonialists' cache of arms in Concord, Massachusetts, that started America's War for Independence. Yes, my friends, it was attempted gun confiscation that triggered (pun intended) the "shot heard 'round the world." And now it would appear that, once again, a central government is on the verge of trying to deny the American people their right to keep and bear arms.[/FONT]
[FONT=Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif]
[/FONT]​

[FONT=Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif]I am told that as of 2004, 50% of the adults in the United States own one or more firearms, totaling some 270 million privately owned firearms nationwide. I would venture to say that the vast majority of these gun owners would find themselves matching the DHS profile of a potential "extremist." I wonder how many gun owners realize the way they are now being targeted by their government, and just how serious--and how close--the threat of gun confiscation has become?[/FONT]
[FONT=Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif]
[/FONT]​

[FONT=Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif]If one doubts the intention of the elitists in government today to deny the American people their right to keep and bear arms, consider what former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger is purported to have said just a couple of weeks ago.
[/FONT]
[FONT=Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif]
[/FONT]
[FONT=Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif]Kissinger attended a high-level meeting with Russian President Medvedev that also included former Secretaries of State James Baker and George Shultz; former Secretary of Defense William Perry; and former Senator Sam Nunn. Included in the discussions was Kissinger's assertion that the American people were now ready to accept a "New Global Order." He is also reported to have told Medvedev, "By September we'll have confiscated all privately owned guns so it really doesn't matter what we do, we'll still be in charge." (Even though the national news media has not reported this statement, the Internet is abuzz with Kissinger having said it. Whether Kissinger actually made that statement or not, he, and rest of his ilk, have repeatedly called for a New World Order, in which there will be no constitutional protection for the right to keep and bear arms.)[/FONT]​

[FONT=Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif]
[/FONT]​

[FONT=Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif]This leads to a very serious question: how many of America's gun owners would allow their government to deny them gun ownership? Further, how many would passively sit back and allow their guns to be confiscated?[/FONT]​

​

[FONT=Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif]As humbly and meekly as I know how to say it: as for me and my house, gun confiscation is the one act of tyranny that crosses the line; debate, discourse, discussion, and peaceful dissent cease and desist at that point. I say again, it is getting very serious now.[/FONT]

The common saying in the pro-firearms community is that if it's time to bury them, it's time to dig them up.

That being said, try to take things you read on the internet with a grain of salt (yes including this). While their is a lot of scary legislation out there, most of it is nowhere near getting off the ground, and more importantly, in Heller, SCOTUS handed us the unfettered definition of 2A as an individual right to bear arms, and none of that militia nonsense.

Incorporation cases are proceeding in NY, and Chicago. Truth is, while a lot of gun grabbers are making a lot of noise, they are making it because they are losing. Things are going better for firearms owners ATM than they have since before the original AWB.

...and I got a Remmy 1300 for free yesterday

 

[richwrench]

Just picked up a used one of these for 200 smackers - hunting season will start a few weeks early for me this year ! :biglaugh:
