Yeah, I shot an Israeli Military .50 Desert Eagle over 20 years ago at an
indoor range and..... DAMN!... it's like shooting a hand-cannon, it will pierce
a 'bullet-proof' vest. It's got a gas-chamber built ito it just to help with the
kick.
It would be fun to borrow a .50 for the day and take it out and see what it can
shoot through.
Here are a couple of gun repeats for the people that haven't seen them
before.
Life is Good.... again.

Classic .50 in the earmuffs.

I don't know how much they cost, .50, but that's the main reasons I just got a
.22, $$$!

999.00 not really to high they will get that price. I sold a Kel Tech 9mm
which sells for 265.00 new for 300.00 2 weeks ago. Before that I sold a High
Point 40cal which sells new for 150.00 and I got 300.00 for it. The value of
any item is merely what someone will be willing to pay for it. One person may
not pay 2 dollars for something but someone else may be willing to pay 200
dollars for the same thing. I have sold several guns and as long as I don't get
to desperate to sell I can get the price I want for just about anything.

pawn shops do normally pay more for hand guns than they should because they
know that they can sell them easy "under the table" to whoever wants
them bypassing the normal rules etc...but the history of said guns are not
documented at all, and leave alot to be desired as far as maintenance and care.
i never buy pawned guns of any "caliber", only from individuals that i
can see their collections and how well they take care of their weapons.

The pawn shops where you live must get away with murder. Pawn shops here are
watched closely by the police. Even one of our gun stores was shut down by the
feds for improper deals. Private sales here at the local fleamarket is less
regulated but still occasionally checked by police for stolen guns and items.

i think the thing that anti gun people don't understand is that the general
population are not the ones that need to be watched like a hawk, it's the
"exportation" of these weapons.

The general population are not the ones who use guns for crime, it is the
criminals. Criminals will always get guns no matter what the laws are, it;s
just harder for us to get them for protection.

@jgoins: Are you deliberately lying or simply ignorant?
"Criminals will always get guns no matter what the laws are" So by
your 'logic' every criminal in every jurisdiction in the world has a gun. This
patently isn't true. Even if you tone it back a bit and say that every criminal
in every jurisdiction can easily get a gun, it is still wrong.
Stop trying to purport your beliefs as facts. They are only facts in your
imagination.

His comment was that criminals "will always get guns". He didn't say
it would be possible for them to get guns, but that they would get them. Yes, a
determined criminal could possibly get a gun in any jurisdiction in the world
through a black market or smuggling, but that doesn't mean they will. In some
jurisdictions many criminals don't bother because it is too difficult. Therefore
it is not just harder for the general population, but for the criminals as
well.
I do wish you were intelligent enough for me to not have to spell everything
out.

Try this for starters:
NZ Police
Some relevant quotes are:
* In overall terms firearms play only a small part in inter-personal
violence in New Zealand, being used in about 1.7 percent of all violent crime.
* handguns are used in crime to a greater extent than their proportion of
the national armoury
* Over the past 15 years firearm crime has increased
at a slightly lower rate but generally in sympathy with violence overall.
* In terms of relative levels of firearm crime, our gun crime rate is much less
than the United States, but comparable with those in Canada and Australia, the
Canadian figures for gun homicide being somewhat higher, probably because of its
relatively high handgun population.

@ Mach: So what you are saying then is that as gun ownership numbers have no
effect on violent crime numbers owing guns is a futile exercise for personal
protection as you are just as likely to be a victim of violent crime whether
there are large numbers of guns in the population or not.
Unfortunately your argument is not backed up by evidence.
jgoins Report This Comment Date: June 12, 2011 10:20AM
So Gak you are saying that in New Zealand criminals can't get guns because of
the strict laws.
You are arguing semantics with me over my statement that criminals will always
get guns and ignoring the substance of the statement that if criminals want to
get them they will get them.
I would rather own a gun and never need it than to need one and not have it.

i just had the funniest dream last night, and am trying to decide if it has
relevance to this thread. my cousin had 2 identical twin donkeys and a Brahma
bull when we were kids. all but one loved to take the kids for rides around the
pasture. the one that didn't like being ridden was one of the donkeys only you
could never tell which one it was without jumping on and taking off for a ride.
when you tried to kick her or go to the whip, she'd turn around and try to bite
you in the foot so i would crack her between the ears with the whip and she'd
straighten out until you kicked her again she'd start buckin' like crazy. have
you ever tried riding a buckin' donkey? it's like that fat chick in college you
plugged because you were too drunk to score one of her hot friends. you just
couldn't quite bring yourself to doin' her, so you flipped her over and stuck
her in the ass without warning balls deep and held on tight.

So then you think those criminals who obtain guns use them for a specific crime
then just toss them. You don't believe they keep them and carry them around
with them until an opportunity arises to use them. Concealed weapons are like
snakes, for every one you might see you passed by ten you didn't see.
