    @Goldsteinism
    - a sound principle? It seems more to be a matter of a special kind of paranoia you have patended overthere where you are dominated by a irrational fear of facist tendencies in your own govenment and your fellow citizens brute desire for your butthole in a dark alley ;-)
    Of course you´ll find wackos with guns here too and thereby also schoolshootings etc. but never on the same scale as in the US

  18. @CapKorzeniowski We …
    @CapKorzeniowski We have weapons in the united states because of the dirty rotten politicians who lie awake at night thinking of ways to subjugate the citizens. Weapons in the hands of the people are the greatest threat to a facist govt. And ill admit there are wackos in the U.S, the principle of gun ownership is still sound.

  19. are you kidding? i …
    are you kidding? i thoguth automatic rifles were blutnly illegal. im sure there are so people with aks and ARs that they kept from a while back when they are still legal. but im pretty sure its illegal to get a automatic rifle now.

    and whats the american bull pup weapon?

    @rt4dz8myhegpx

    The M468 (now called REC7) is just as reliable as this HK. Since they both use the same gas piston system.

    I love HK, but this rifle really aint nothing unique. The design there using has been around for years. Its really nothing revolutionary.
