Duhh..Gosh.. That must have been stolen from some legitimate gun owner. This is why we need to confescate all legally owned target pistols from legitimate and law abiding gun owners..

.. And as usual. The comments are a gold mine of stupidity:

$1:

The macs are populare for their firepower in short bursts and the ability to silence them down to a wisper. Next to Ingrams, they rule.

Considering Ingram are the ones who make the MAC series, I'm sure they'd be pleased to know that. "Accept no substitutes"

We don't need guns.

Your friends in the drug industry do.
Why can't they see the peace and love of the hippy ideals that the pot smokers keep preaching?

Me having a Gun because they do is foolish.

Because...why? I mean, why not just stop giving guns to police officers too? It's foolish, right?

A gun is nothing more than a tool. If a gun is put in the right, and in well trained hands, it can be a tool for justice and order. Or it can be used for chaos and horror. Banning all guns for everyone is stupid. Much like banning knives or cars is just as stupid.

It is a tool of Violence. If everyone needs one, you got major problems. The Old American West is gone, why so eager to bring it back?

Funny, I thought you were speaking of 'cars' here.

[Lemmy]

Who says this was drug-crime weapon? Maybe it was being used by Natives for salmon fishing? Guns have many safe uses, right?

people don't need SUV's either, maybe we should ban them. They consume to much fuel, take up to much room on the roads and don't have the emissions control that other better vehicles have.


It isn't a question about need, but I bet the hunters that live off their harvesting of game have another view.

[uwish]

ps can I have it!!

[herbie]

Does "high powered" mean you need to plug it into 440V 3 phase instead of regular 110V?

[uwish]

actually that is a common misconception. These are .380 ACP which in the world of firearms is pretty average power.

So? Let the people decide whats best for them. If you feel safe without a gun, by all means don't posses a gun, but a lot of people don't feel safe without a firearm. And frankly I don't blame em. Not to put down the cops, but they can't be everywhere at once, and usually they aren't at a crime in progress, the victims are. If they choose to own a firearm, then by possessing a firearm they give themselves one more option to deal with the crime; so that, rather than being victimized, they may be able to adequately defend themselves from the perps.

Somebody breaks into my house with a hammer and a crowbar and the first thing they see coming through the door or window is the receiving end of a shotgun, they might just drop the required dollars to fix whatever they broke and high-tail it outta there.

[uwish]

that is a very non-liberal view of you. I am impressed!
