I'm not much of a gun person, although years ago I did some Civil War re-enacting (it's hard-core stuff out here in New Mexico) and developed a fondness for the Lee-Enfield black powder rifle. Those were a lot of fun.

Owning firearms isn't about wanting to kill people, it's about the admiration of beautifully crafted instruments. Much to the surprise of many, you can use firearms without killing something. They're simply really fun to shoot--my friend has noted that whenever he's taken someone who hates guns and lets them plink with one, they suddenly love them. I'm seeing quite a few people posting in this thread about the firearms they own, and I highly doubt that any one of them is a murderer.

Murderer, no. But I do have my license to carry, and I don't have a problem with the idea of using it if the situation called. At the same time, I don't go around LOOKING for reasons to use it, either. I own a 5-shot .32 Smith revolver, a Sig P229 in .40 Smith, and a 20g Shotgun.

I try not to go to gun shows anymore. The last one I went to, I almost walked out with an AK-47. In fact, the only reason I didn't was because the action was pretty rough on the gun. It was a (cheap) Romanian copy, so I'd guess that it was even cheaper to make. Anyway, nice gun. I'm no expert, but I'm still learning.

Gun shows aren't what they used to be so we / I don't go to them as much either. First one in a couple years I believe.
The wife insisted that she hold the stock for the 10/22 before we bought one and she had to look at them too (girly stuff you know) so that's the main reason we went.
Also a buddy from out of town on a visit wanted to go because he wanted to check out some 10/22 parts.

I like the m44, if you go out at night you can see a flame the size of a volkswagon come out the end of it. Mosin's are great guns if you like to shoot alot, 7.62x54R is some dirt cheap ammo. Personally I like my m1891/30, has more of a Russian Sniper feel to it ;p

I do like to shoot. I don't shoot as much as I would like to because I don't enjoy cleaning anymore.
I tend to go through phases and it happens to be that's what I'm going through right now.
Next phase I'll be doing my homebrewing and posting pics of beers that I'm making

Heh, the only reason I recognize that weapon is because it was the rifle used by The End during that epic sniper-vs-sniper boss battle you fight against him in Metal Gear Solid 3.
