I'm ok with other people having them, but I never will. They're toys, and swords are more fun anyway.

The US is armed. I laugh when people think thats its uncommon to own a gun.

People seem to think guns are trashy or low class these days. The other day I was giving a new neighbor a tour of my house and they asked what my gun safe was. I explained it to them and they seemed sort of shocked and disgusted. People think they're better than everyone else and safer because they have a little wall around the neigborhood.

They just don't know that rich people are tastier to the zombies. :evil:

I've gotten kind of bored with the hobby lately. Been looking to get rid of the 220 and the Ruger, but I'll always own a few.

Yes, many.

I have around 70 rifles (mostly WWII era) and six handguns.

I own a single-shot .22 bolt-action rifle. It's old, a hand-me-down. But it's still fun to shoot.

The Canadian military asked if they could borrow it but they haven't returned my raft yet, so I'm holding out.

:camera:!

Here is of some of it, though most of the WWII (Mosins, Enfields, Garands, Springfield, etc..) stuff is absent. I can't find what I did with those pics...

Yes, a Mossberg 12 gauge 3" magnum. I'd like to get a handgun as well, but haven't decided on what yet.

I own two firearms at the moment.

A Springfield Armory Mil-Spec 1911, and a Yugoslavian SKS.

I'm planning on buying a Romanian AK clone soon too.

I have a .22 Browning rifle that I used to target shoot with... haven't touched it in a year though.

I have a cheap 12 gauge shotgun, but I suppose it would do the trick if it was ever needed.

I need to get some more ammo though. I'm about out of buckshot and need to get some slugs because they're fun :).

H&K USP .40
-carry weapon on me at all times

Mossberg 590 20" 12ga w/ ghost ring sights

Bushmaster XM15-E2S AR15 20" 100% mil spec (.223)
-not a fan of .223 but all my friends have one so got one for ammo compatibility, plus .223 isn't too bad under 150 yards, after which it behaves like a regular bullet and thus looses to anything bigger

Bushmaster BAR-10 20" with A2 upper, skelly stock and muzzle brake (.308)

Yugo M59/66 SKS

Romanian WSAR10 AK-47

Custom .300 WM sniper rifle (26" Navy bull barrel, floated & bedded on a Rem700P action and McMillan camo stock and recoil pad, Leupold 12x scope, harris bipod. Bought this one off a friend for $1000 for the whole setup after putting two rounds through one hole in a golfball at 110 yards my first time ever bench shooting.

Current Ammo:
750 rds left of .40
560 rds of 7.62x39 on 10rd SKS clips
~70 rds of 12ga tactical 9 pellet 00
100 rds of .223 (5.56x45)
~400 rds of .308 (7.62x51)
~30 rounds of .300 WSM hand loaded match ammo fired and chamber sized to the rifle (came with the rifle)

I'm an armchair Ranger what can I say... if it weren't for the fact that I am a selfish materialistic arsehat and that civilian IT pays much better to support my high class lifestyle and expensive tastes I'd be SEAL or Delta right now... mind over matter FTFW.

Hope to add some more hand guns like a 92FS, 1911, and definately need a revolver (Python 6" stainless), and a M1A and a nice FAL or HK91/G3 this summer and... and... and...

My car has been turning all my money into horsepower these days. It's just too fun to rape these stupid kids before they even have time to put their foot down all the way. :D

*UPDATE*
Some pics of some of the goodies:

Pic 2

(Yes one of the ARs is a Colt and the other is a Bushmaster)
