Well...here's my two cents. Unfortunately we live in an imperfect world (at this time) and so I see guns and weaponry in general as one means for the individual to protect their family, property, freedoms (from tyrranical government), and others as need and circumstances dictate. I wish it were not so, but as long as there is evil people in the world who wish to take what isn't theirs then there will be a need to defend against that.
To think otherwise is certainly anyone's right but methinks very naive...

Framer, well said.

Some people are very narrow minded. They don't think about people that have definite need for protection, when they live remote areas where you have to take steps to insure your own security

Everybody gets up in arms the very minute a the word "gun" is used (Yes I meant the pun".
Well folks as a professional karate instructor, self defense expert with 48 years experience, and former sheriffs deputy that worked in a maximum security underground jail.
Guns have never been the problem, they just scare the folks that don't know anything about them, or thinks that you can stop evil people from hurting others if you take away their guns.
Well folks they will keep their guns and use them on the hapless few who do not have them. Scary as that is, its the truth.
Those of us that do enjoy firearms as a sport, or defense know that those who believe in gun control will never change, so we stay ever vigilant to protect our rights.
There are so many people killed and maimed by the common household vegetable knife each year the very site of it should make all of the gun control guys freak out about them too.
I see no problem with making it a law that to own a firearm you have to pass a qualification and safety test that is fairly administered. The fair part is what is going to be hard to do with the state of the government as it is right now.
Almost every item in your house is a potential weapon, so where does that leave us.
It time for some rational thought on this subject and so far all one side wants to bring is emotion in the hope that if they scream loud enough they will over power common sense.
That's what frightened children, and spoiled immature individuals do.
This is so tiresome, it really is.
Maybe it's time for both sides to actually get together and work something out, but enough with the emotional rhetoric it doesn't help, and it solves nothing.
I respect every ones views, but reciprocation may be too much to ask for on this subject.
As to the picture that's a nice pistol thanks for sharing.
By the way I live in Chicago the gun control mecca in this country, and we all know how much success it has had in this city.
It is safer to walk the streets in Baghdad a young marine told me once, "At least there I can shoot back he said"

I wouldn't prosecute/kill a young Mr. Trayvon for what he did a long time ago if he did. Nor I would go out on a witch hunt trying to dig something out of his past What mattered was that moment. When he was killed, his hands were empty, he was not caught on any felony or crime. Mr Z? He has been battering women ever since. But maybe for some here that is just business as usual between men and women. My God, more politicians are worst than this young man and they get... what? Re-elected! He had not done anything (in the past, probably) a white young of that age does, like smoke MJ and do some drinking and other stuff. If they get caught, yes, prosecute them. If not, do not persecute them forever.

We shouldn't judge Trayvon for what he did in the past but we are supposed to link that night with what Zimmerman has been accused of since then?
I don't think Zimmerman judged Martin on his past, just on what he was doing when he was on top of him.

Great pieces! Always glad to see some nice guns. My XD is a service 45, and I like it! There's always room for one more!
