I'll give you a karma for it, Gabe. You caught me off guard with that comment.

(I almost made this post into a poorly worded faux pass, worthy of a similar blasting)

lol, that was good

Head of a move afoot in to ban .50 calibre weapons and larger.  Kinda sucks if you own a howitzer,

[kv]

Yeah, but how often do you really get to use a howitzer?

Or for that argument, how often do you ever really get to use .50 Cal?

Every x-mas, on boxing day.

Oh, you meant the question seriously?!?
Then I can't really think of anything but armed insurrection.

[kv]

And those happen what, every five or six years? Unless you're in volitile north africa, when you would probably get your money's worth out of buying such a gun.

target shooting is fun

If I lived in North Africa, oh drek, I'd be packin some serious heat.  I'd have fully loaded M60's mounted at every point of entry to my house, not to mention a couple missle launchers mounted on pop up turrents to pop up through the roof.  I'd be walkin around like Rambo whenever I left, with a SAW in my hands, ammo hanging over my shoulders, a stack of grenedes, twin .45's on my side, a back up 9mm on both ankles, and probably a nice size K-Bar.

That doesn't even count the armory I'd have in the basement for when things get outta hand.  You know the saying "always be prepared"

[kv]

That's a lot of hardware. I think if I needed to overthrow a government, I would push you over and steal some of your guns while you were trying to get back up!

Sounds good.  I mean I left out the fact you'd have to cross a very elaborate mine field to even get inside the house.  I find that average, overkill would be the fleet of fighter jets on stand by, and the black hawk helo's on constant patrol...

[Jester]

lol, paranoid much

[ROOTless]

..clearly very wealthy, at any rate.

[BornKrazi]

I just call it personal security!

Actually, it appears to impact adversely on historic reenactors who seldom use anything more than black powder to make their peices go bang  rather than loading shot.  Matchlocks, flintlocks and the like range from about .50 cal to about .75 cal.  I'm sure they'll make their argument heard - not shy, these guys.  Obsessives seldom are

[ROOTless]

Ah true.
