DWCAP: Thanks. My dad was an ex-Marine, and I learned to shoot from a very young age. I also learned to respect the weapon, but to never treat it as anything other than a tool. Societally, we’ve imbued guns with such a mystique that people forget they are simply mechanical devices.

I also had a lot of confidence instilled from learning to shoot. I was comfortably shooting a .30-06 M1 Garand by the time I was 10 and that focus came in handy in many other circumstances.

I now have a 10 year old son, and I am constantly having to deal with the omnipresent thug culture that glorifies violence and misogyny and treats guns as a ticket to power and respect. It’s pathetic and sad, but these are the times we live in. And, unfortunately, for many people a gun represents a single, drastic answer to a lot of problems. People like the clown in the picture above.

cashflow: If you’ve ever done any precision shooting, you’d understand. Something very Zen about distance shooting. Controlling your breathing, focusing on a target 500 to 600 yards off and centering yourself before the shot.

Regarding “guns like that”: You can’t legally drive a Ferrari GTO in this country at the speed it really performs, yet they sell them all the same. Guns, regardless of type, are a matter of personal responsibility. I don’t want to get all 2nd Amendment on you, but the government has NO right to ban guns, any more than it has the right to ban free speech (although they’re trying like hell on that one, too).

I don’t hunt, so I don’t much the see the point in either guns or bows and arrows. If you choose to hunt and use the meat following the kill, I somewhat understand. Hunting for sport is just barbaric.

Nost: Yup. HK91 (civilian variant of the HK G3). Magazine is out of the weapon in the picture. I don’t recognize the scope setup, other than it’s a big mofo.

HK makes a sniper rifle, the PSG1, that is incredible. Built on the same chassis as the G3 and a semi-auto.

Germans definitely know their stuff when it comes to beer, autos and weaponry. And how to fit completely unmentionable things into sausage casings.

Nost: You being the “hardware” fan that you are, I’m sure you recognize another fine Heckler & Koch product. That is one serious telescopic sight on top.

Cowart, huh? His name should end with a “d” instead of a “t”.

Shit like this makes me crazy. I don’t agree with Obama and I’m not going to vote for him, but shoot him? C’mon, man.

I’m of German descent and these White Power types sicken me.
