Or provide credible resistance. FBI statistics project that over 250,000 violent-robberies/rapes/murders are interrupted/prevented yearly with the presentation of potentially deadly force. That's why people carry. And though a 0.0008-in-1 chance is extraordinarily slim, it's reason enough to be prepared. Rather have it and not need it than need it and not have it.

[facepalm]
That's like saying you don't want to own a car because it will make you want to run people down on a sidewalk.

Don't have any right now, parent's won't allow it until I get a job and pay rent (perfectly acceptable terms to me). But I do intend to have them in future.

I don't think it needs to go quite that far.
You see my post, BTW, Kalashnikov?

Yeah, I'm seriously getting shit-pissed by this douchebagged faggotry.

Well, the American ideology behind guns is that, if you arm the civilian populace, then the government will have a much harder time developing a tyrannical rule, or walking over the Bill of Rights. I do honestly think that the 2nd amendment is in place to prevent America from becoming another china, or God-forbid, Australia!

But back on topic, I'm going to have to say technically neither. Instead, I offer the AK-74 as my answer. Why? Well, you have the same dead-reliable Kalashnikov-action, but with a cartridge (5.45x39mm) that has a greater effective range than the AK-47 round (7.62x39mm) and greater inherent accuracy (higher muzzle velocity, longer bullet), yet still has more cover penetration and reliable yaw/fragmentation characteristics than the NATO/American round (5.56x45mm). To boot, the proliferation of the AK-74 has generated so many neat variants, like the Polish Tantal and Bulgaria's 74s. Even more beautiful is that, with most Ex-Warsaw countries joining NATO and switching to 5.56x45 rifles, they've massively exported their surplus and leftover guns, and now the average American can own them as well. http://www.jgsales.com/index.php/rifles/ak-47-and-rpk-rifles/cPath/209_214
It doesn't hurt that J&G is selling surplus 5.45x39 in 1080rnd sealed-tins for $150 a pop!

My written fellatio of the AK-74 aside, I do adore Eugene Stoner's design as well. It's light, simple, and as long as it's taken care of halfway decently, it's just as reliable as the AK. the cartridge is a little lacking though right now as the round was designed for a 20" barrel and now with the M4 carbine that's been chopped to 14.5". Due to the Hague Convention, the US cannot use fragmenting bullets as they've been deemed excessively cruel. So the 5.56 round work on yawing. when the bullet hits flesh, it begins to yaw and rotate, creating a massive wound cavity. Problem is, it has to be going at least 2700fps to do this. Out of a M-16's 20" barrel, the threshold where the bullet's fps drops below 2700 is around 150yds. Out of the M4's 14.5" barrel, it drops to less than 90yds. Body armor further complicates matters, as it will slow the bullet to the point where it might just go through the body cavity and not do much damage. (see Viet-Congs wrapping themselves in duct-tape vests and the 5.56 rounds just flitting through, while the crazed jungle-commies continued to charge)
The 7.62x39 cartridge uses sheer mass (double the bullet weight of 5.56 NATO) to do damage, and it works, at the expense of heavy recoil and inherently shitty ballistics. the 5.45x39 though, basically takes the flat ballistics and low recoil of the 5.56 NATO round and enhances lethality by using a steel core and a jacketed hollow-point. When the cartridge hits a body, the steel core shifts, pushing forward into the hollow cavity and causing the bullet to yaw much sooner than the 5.56 round.

So, in essence, I would rather have a (well-built) AK over an AR, but both are sweet rifles.

Alrighty. First off, 'designed for youth' merely means a shorter LOP and a lighter weight, along with 20ga being a lower power than the iconic 12ga. The same things you'd find on a female-aimed gun or guns made for smaller-framed people.

The technical definition out of the way, let me say this: Allowing a minor to handle and use a firearm is perfectly safe under most circumstances. Thousands upon thousands of minors do it every year. Granted, IMO, 11 is too young to be allowed independent custody of a firearm (like unrestricted internet access) and he should not have been allowed access to ammunition without his father's supervision. I think there were two causes to this, the irresponsibility of the parent, and the Child being a psychopath. The former could have been prevented, the latter not, and given how he killed his stepmother, I don't think [the lack of] access to a firearm would have prevented him attempting seriously to kill her.

And I take offense to the 'Yankee Doodles' remark. The vast, vast majority of American gun owners are much more responsible than this father was (logically, you wouldn't hear about a safe firearms outing in the news, just the tragic deaths/accidents). And labeling 80+ million Americans as irresponsible hillbillies is similar to calling all blacks stupid, it's an erroneous blanket insult and undeserved.

This...

My bullshit tolerance is fairly low...and the sheer faggotry. Seriously, what the fuck. It's not even remotely funny, seriously.

The only problem with this gun is that it's not man-portable.

Only times I've not been able to sleep have been either great excitement (in anticipation of going to King's Island the next day) or great anxiety. Either way it is not usually pleasant as I'm not very functional the following day. I've actually been trying to scale-back my bed-time from 2-3AM to 1AM, preferably by midnight.

No, I clearly saw "Potential Illegal Content". I tried going back to that page to look at the warning box again and that page just won't load, the page is blank with 'stopped' in the corner. Other pages are fine, it just doesn't like that page. I don;t need to see the page, extreme loli turns my stomach TBH (though remove the loli and I would love to see Vampire Bund). I just find this curious and a little worrying.

So, from TGWTG [and Marzgurl's ANE] I learned of Dance of the Vampire Bund and searched it on Sankaku. Upon clicking one of the search results (it was a Sankaku page), AVG popped-up with a warning to the extent of "Warning, AVG has detected a threat: Potential illegal content". Has this happened to anyone, and how seriously should I take it? How exactly does AVG know to warn against loli, and why does it not give a warning for Fakku?

He posted "Gosh, is this what people call Necromancing a thread?" in around twenty old threads. Mass , trollish necrobumping.

Ignore the shoes [or do what I did and make a copy of the img with the bottom cut-off] and it's one of the cutest/hottest furries Jessica Elwood's done, IMO.

There's a thread on this movie?



Overall the film went into some old bullshit because of the ending.

Probably the only LS doujin I get hard over. Thanks!

Yes please!

Holy flying fucksticks, please tell me the doujin's name! Please! (+1 as soon as mine recharges)

I say cremation, though I want my body's disposal to involve some kind of supersonic thermal expansion. [seriously].

Sorry for DP'ing.

Well, this is interesting. I boot-up my computer this morning, and vuala! The malware is gone [none of the alerts or popups, no quick-start icon in the lower-right corner] or dormant.
