Seeing alot of people saying they're new to SR or inexperienced with firearms. Lots of experienced shooters here, thought I'd share. www.thehighroad.org

:S The most experienced shooters aren't the ones who shoot for sport.

Still, it might be a good source to learn inner workings.

Actually Great most of the people on the board are CCW holders and are very,very detailed about weapons, ammo, holsters, weapon laws, etc. Give them a shot.

This discussion does not bring high hopes for the ambient intelligence level.

Great, this is all we need. Another discussion about gun "rights," where my fellow countrymen scare the crap out of me, nobody convinces anyone of anything, and in the midst of all the trash-talking, we all forget the most important reason we're all here: to bitch about the game we love so much.

Here's a good site I found about specific gun statistics and a little ballistics. I've seen it linked to on this board before.

Nope. I'm not commenting about rights at all. I'm commenting about the mindset that translates someone claiming they wouldn't feel safer with a gun into their being "anti-gun".

*sigh* Humans are hopeless. They rely on such things to defend themselves more than their own 4 limbs and brains.

Personally I've not had much luck accelerating little bits of metal to over the speed of sound using only my limbs and brain, but I'll admit that I gave up pretty easily.

jeez, where do you think guns come from? people make them using their limbs and brains. humans are toolmakers. chicken, maybe you should use forementioned brain more often and rely less on comments immitted out your cloaca.

This'll eventually degenerate into a 'martial arts/melee is better than guns because omfg it requires more skill and gun users are dumb lol' morass. I can smell it coming.

Only the manufacturers do that. The rest O' the population just buys them. While it may take brains to earn the money needed, how much brains does it take just to actually do the transaction over the counter, mindless form-filling aside? :please:

It takes brains to handle a firearm properly. What we need to do is determine the common-fraggin-sense of a potential buyer before a purchase can be made.

Remember, guns don't kill people, stupid %$#@!$% with guns kill people.

yep some people make the mistake of regarding their weapon at some kind of magic talism of defense, it's not the center of your power, cops are some of the worst offenders in this regard. but learning how to use a weapon takes time and limbs and brains. Some people don't get it or aren't movitated or disciplined enough to do this. The same people that buy fake Nunchuku or Chinese Swords or "Saturday Night Specials".

i wouldn't lump all "humans" into that kind of group of people

Exactly.

Stop this silly 'debate' and get back on topic, all of you.

There are people who don't know what a cloaca is?

Y'know, I've seen people take the Esoteric Trivia knowledge skill and use it as a mechanic for getting the GM to give them information about anything and everything.

I take the Esoteric Trivia knowledge skill so I have something on my character sheet to point at when I come out with bizarre bits of useless knowledge in-game.
