Why not .223?

My choice for a 22LR would be the GSG-5. And for the AR platform... the DPMS LR-308 :cool: hell of a gun.

well, im only 17 and .223 is just to expensive for me to shoot...

and I dont know why I like the sig so much, I was at gander mountain the other day, and was feeling out all of the other .22's and it just feels the best to me...

it's going to be ether the sig, or the smith and wesson M&P 15-22. that is a nice gun also...

The .223 is pretty cheap to shoot if you buy bulk ammo. You can get 500 rounds for less than $150.

Yes it costs a fortune to shoot and my wrist can only handle about 6 rounds and I am done for the day. However it only takes 1 from this thing to stop anything shy of a pissed off bull elephant:D

Where do you live? I always thought it was illegal to own a small firearm like that I know that's what I've been told anyway. Unless you absolutely were require to have one, like a cop/fbi.

Now I don't care, just curious how so many people on this board own guns like this and automatic weapons.

I'm jealous. Makes my Browning Hi-Power look like a pee-shooter lol. That must be an exhilarating gun to fire.

As far as I know you can own a hand-gun or semi-auto firearm in any state. For a fully automatic gun you have to have a special tag/license or pay some sort of tax.

If more citizens owned guns, America would be a much safer place.

Wow. Being from the UK it's pretty weird to hear of people buying guns for Christmas! I can't imagine being able to casually own one.

I think if there were no guns besides the law enforcements then America would be a much safer place.

Then what would law-enforcement need guns for?

It is literally impossible to get rid of guns here. The only thing gun-control does is take away guns from those who legitimately and responsibly own them. You think the guns that gangsters and criminals have are registered? I think not.

I fell for you, I was sidelined last season due to injury. It just stinks lol. Which mountain did you go to?

Ugh that sucks! I worked in a desert so no snowboarding seasons for me either : /

I go to Blue Knob and Seven Springs. Both are in Pennsylvania but I plan on taking a trip out to Winter Park Colorado this winter :D Where do you go?

I want 24GB of RAM for my Mac Pro; I think that's the only thing I actually need since 12GB isn't enough all the time.

I would also like a Burton Nug snowboard. This one will probably happen.

I want a handgun, but I have to work out residency issues before I can…

I think America would be a safer place if so many people weren't ignorant.

you could not be more wrong.....

if you take guns away from the legitimate and responsible owners, then what does that help? did you really make a difference? no....

and all the criminals will still have there guns.

and all the sudden they have just as much power as the law enforcement, and now they don't have to be afraid that I might have my gun when they rob me. because we don't have our guns....
