You know, it gets more and more wacky over there.

If the sceptics get hold of them as well as the septics, I dread to think how dirty the streets could become.
I saw something the other day about 3-D printed guns that look like they are made of Lego, so that most people will think they are toys.........

The manufacturer (it’s a modified Glock) said it’s to highlight the fun that can be had with firearms. It just begs the question: WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON IN THEIR MINDS?  |

It's astounding when you read some of the voting restrictions being put in place by some of the states - e.g. illegal to offer someone queueing to vote a drink of water while they wait in line for possibly 10 hours - while at the same time they're trying to relax laws on owning and carrying guns even further.
I jokingly suggested to some yanks that on my list of holiday destinations I'd put them in the same place as Iran and Afghanistan although actually I'm not sure its funny.

There is some fundamental difference between the USA of today and the one my parents lived in throughout the 1980s. I’m not sure if part of it is the rise of instant and social media highlighting excesses that always existed to a wider audience but I don’t recall this much conversation and debate over firearms as a teenager - and they lived in TX.
I also suppose that weapons development over that 30-40 year period had a bit to do with it: a shotgun, a .38 Colt and a hunting rifle were the staple diet as opposed to semi automatic weapons that can cut a school class in half with a single magazine. The issue is, of course, that the genie is long out of the bottle and as with alcohol restrictions there will be decades of being able to hop across the state line to buy weapons in one state that aren’t available to purchase in another due to different state legislation.

You're probably right; in the 50s and 60s it was not unusual for children to take their rifles to school so they could go shooting after class. |

………in the 50s and 60s it was not unusual for children to take their rifles to school so they could go shooting after class. Still the case in parts of London. |

I have 2 guns.
I built one from scratch and bought the other from a friend.
I checked today and saw that I have over 2,000 rounds of ammo in the house- so I need to go to the firing range and use them up.

What sort of shelf life do the current charges have now?
