Ok thats it im jealous

My brother in law has just sent me some pics of his su-16 and ar-15

I have gone green with envy, I now look like the hulk if he had let himself go 20 years ago

Of course in this nanny state you get nicked for carrying a butter knife but in the good old US of A you can own proper toys !

Anyone want to sponsor me for a green card?

For those that have no idea what im on about

AR-15



SU-16



They dont have a problem with hoodies in his neighbour hood

Re: Ok thats it im jealous

Its quite an ironic post, i was out with some friends last night and one has just taken up clay pigeon shooting and has just got a shot gun. I was saying that i am not really into shot guns but if i lived in the US i would definitely have some form of high powered rifle and go down the gun range regularly, just like your bro in law - thats just looks great imo

I think you have hit the nail on the head, they have so many clubs and professional run ranges, that you can really enjoy shooting as a hobby in a very safe way and fairly cheaply as well.

Re: Ok thats it im jealous

lol. I think I saw a hezbollah member with the AR-15 yesterday on the news, but yeah, even though I have never touched a gun, I would probably get a couple if they were legal in the U.K, as a hobby.

Re: Ok thats it im jealous

and this from the same poster who would bang anyone up for smoking weed and eating a mars bar - but would allow automatic weapons in their neigbourhood. i was lucky the god lord saw fit to "see me alright i the downstairs department" so i dont need to compensate by buying guns.

i can see it out on the news now..

"we'll he had an argument with his wife, it was very heated, he then went rampaging round the streets with a spliff smoking it. he came back half an hour later he's bought some fruit juice and donuts and was perfectly calm"

or

"we'll he had an argument with his wife, it was very heated, he then went rampaging round the streets with a gun threatening people it. it was like Dunblane, or Hungerford, or Columbine, or Georgia tech or Chelsea last week"

the problem is even if you go out shooting rabbits or rats with an air gun your likely to get the full police armed response unit on you, unless your out in the deep country
