It seems like most do but i was wondering how old do you have to be? dont your parents mind? and how much are they for maybe a pistol or an AK?
Closest thing ive got in the UK is a BB gun lol. Also can you Buy custom parts for your weapons? like laser sights, bigger mags ect?

Do all of you Brits have really horrible teeth? Are there no dentists there?

You really shouldn't pay attention to stereotypes and you should realize that the US is more than just Texas or whatever. Hell, I only know a couple people who own a gun and I've never seen one in person.

Im really sick of this:
Americans and there guns
Britains and there teeth:
Not every Americans have guns, they have just got different laws, doesnt mean everyone of them goes out and gets a gun.
And British people do have dentists and if you think about it you really insulting yourselves when you say that becase the american origin is Britain.

So all in all the post was pathetic.

I don't own any guns but I want to. My wife hates them, but as with many things in life, people are afraid of things they are unfamiliar with.

I've had my hunting license since I was 15 (I'm 24). I use my father's shotguns. My dad has two pistols, two .22 rifles, a muzzle-loading rifle, another hunting rifle, a 20 guage shotty, a 12 guage shotty, and another shotty too, I think. He also has a compound bow.

there are laws restricting how much ammunition you can keep in your magazine, and it's never as much as the magazine will hold, so there's no reason to get a bigger magazine. You are required to keep plugs in your magazine to fill the empty space, so that if a game warden comes by you can show him that you are following the law.

I don't think anyone not in law enforcement can get a fully automatic weapon. I know that one of my dad's .22's is a semi. It uses the pressure from the gasses that are released when the gunpowder ignites to eject the old shell and chamber a new round.

yes you can buy nifty toys for your guns, but I don't know about laser sites like in The Peacemaker with george clooney. You can get laser sites that you put into the action of the gun and it shoots a red beam on your target to help you site in your scope, that much is true (although they aren't as accurate as actually firing the gun because all ammunition, even for the same gun, is different). You can definitely upgrade the magnification of your scope, or have a scope mounted on whatever you want.

ps--I'm not from texas. I'm in NJ, only 45 minutes from New York City.

Hope that answers your questions

i am a naturalized american citizen. you bet your ass that i'm going to take advantage of my right to own firearms. shooting guns is fun, it's a healthy way to relieve stress.

because russian guns fucking own. you get the most bang for your buck. my first gun purchase will be a kalashnikov copy, probably a rumanian WASR.

here in the southeast, you must be 18 to buy a long gun, and 21 to buy a handgun. anyone without a criminal record may obtain a concealed weapons permit, which will allow you to carry the handgun on your person, or in your car.

I don't think anyone not in law enforcement can get a fully automatic weapon.

The laws on the number of rounds a mag can hold expired as a federal law when Clinton's cosmetic gun ban expired. Any law limiting the number of rounds a mag can hold are state laws. I have two 13+1 round mags for my Glock pistol and a 25+1 round mag for a .22 semi-auto rifle. Here in Indiana you could put a 100 round drum on your AK-47 and go shooting at the range as long as the range didn't have rules against it.

As far a full-auto weapons, they are available legally with a FFl. (Federal Firearms License). There are many gun clubs that have shoots with these guns. There is an annual shoot in Knob Creek, Kentucky every year. I have only seen video of this shoot and it was to say the least amazing. They shoot all day and into the night. Cars downrange have explosives in them so they blow up when they get shot up. There was even a helo with a mounted MG shooting up the range. The night shoot with all the tracers was just awesome. You can even rent some guns and buy ammo to join in the fun. I plan on going on vacation there sometime. Also, some gun shops have indoor shooting ranges where you can rent full-auto MG's. I know of one in Las Vegas and Indianapolis so I am sure there are many many more.

Just some info for the unknowing.

hold on, BAD teeth? WTF i didn't know that was a stereotype for the British?

And the original question was how old do you have to be, so what is the answer.

Hmm, why do we think you all have guns, oh i don't know, let's see, .... "i don't like my chair, i am going to blast it with a shotgun, look here is a pic."
Thats how the thread started, and now its full of people showing of pics of their guns.

WTF, its hard enough to get a BB gun in this country!

Sorry, rant over.

many americans i know do have various pieces. yes hunting weapons are the most prominent, but there are plenty of collectors or enthusiests who collect weapons for various reasons. yes ak's, sks's, h+k, fn-seiries, moded weapons with laser-des, flashlight attachments ect. full-auto models req. a special license that is vary expenise, this for something you'll most likely never be able to use: most ranges don't allow full auto fire. so needless to say most people don't bother to get such weapons. long guns ie rifles+shotties run $100-$500 avg used and $200-$1200 avg new though these can get much higher. pistols run $250-$650 avg new. ihaven't bought any used so i can't really say much about them. and last but not lest it is generally agaist the law to carry a firearm with you with various exceptions. most companys have policies against employees carry weapons to, during, and from work so you can't just go wandering around downtown toteing your new ak like its some warlord run african market. guns generally stay at home, or are taken to a shooting range, or hunting trips; events where they are appropriate.

Don't do it man, WASR are cheap @$$ shit AKs. Go for a Vecktor or an Arsenal($$). Vekors go for around $500 where i'm at, and they own. They are the best stamped receiver AKs (AKM is closest Russian equiv) i've seen(never saw true Russian one tho). Arsenal is great cuz they're Milled(original AK 47 style) but they run around $800.

Cheapest AK = $300
Most Expensive AK = $1000
these are not full auto

Pistols = $80-$4,000
A Glock 17 goes for about $550-600 here.

Knob Creek rocks, you can feel the ground shaking from a mile away as you walk towards it(when the miniguns are going)

The range in Indy is alright, they have an Uzi 9mm and a UMP-45($$ too shoot, ammo-wise) that is broken as often as not. They never clean their stuff.

As far as purchasing a full auto as a civilian, $200 tax stamp, 6-8 month waiting period while the ATF does a background check, and a super high purchase price on the firearm (a semi auto M4 is 900, full auto is like 10-14,000) and the ATF can show up at your door whenever they want to inspect it.

JG1567JG: where are you in Indiana? PM if you don't mind. I live in Indiana as well.
