The gun thread Options

[mirocu]

I have had guns for about fifteen years due to us having a plot of land on which to hunt for moose and deer. However I have always had a bigger interest in the shooting part than the hunting part, and since I came across hickok45 on youtube that interest has gotten new life.

I just love how he does it. Instead of only shooting moose paper targets like we do here, he shoots at flower pots, car doors, metal figures and 2 liter soda cans etc. I quickly realized that's what I want to do too though unfortunately I have limited abilities since our plot of land is shaped the way it is which is quite narrow with neighbours not too far away. But I did put up a few brick targets earlier this fall and had a go on them with my .30-06 semi-auto, and it really was such a fun way of shooting! Though needless to say, that round is pretty expensive and I may go look for a smaller caliber in the near future.

This is one instance where I kinda wish I was a Murican. Our views on guns here is they should only be used on paper targets or clay pigeons and for hunting and it should only be done to better ourselves. Just having fun like this or defend ourselves simply doesn't exist here which is a shame. But I'll do my part to change that...

So if kiln anyone would like to chime in on the subject of shooting for fun, please do!

I promised myself to not bring in politics to this thread, but now I feel I have to.


EU wants to ban semi-automatic firearms and this unfortunately affect me up here. I have one semi-auto already and one on the way (hopefully) and not only is this idea plain stupid since it´ll never affect illegally obtained firearms, it´s also against our very own laws. And what´s next? Will they take my three-shot pumpaction shotgun because it´s considered high capacity? Will they take my over/under shotgun for being able to shoot two shots in rapid succession?

This is nothing but people control. The heaviest dictatorships in the world have done this in the past and we can´t have that. I want to be able to enjoy my firearms as the non-criminal citizen that I am.

There is a petition one can sign that´s against this. I´ll link to it, but since most here are in the U.S it´s not relevant, and I don´t expect anyone to care too much about the affairs overseas. However I reckon it´s all connected and I understand politicians in America keep trying to ban your guns too. I just feel I have to do something and spreading this link is the least I can do, besides signing the petition of course which I have.


Here it is for anyone who wants to take a look


We may have a small discussion about this if wanted, but I don´t want to take focus away from the fun aspects of shooting. So lets try to not fill pages with this. Thank you

Edit: Stop the assault weapons ban petition
