Could someone give me a rundown how UK became the no-guns country it is today?
>>33193320
England decided to invade the entire world because why not? But with a change of politics decided this was bad, so they decided guns were all bad also. They then decided to sell all their guns to Nazi Germany, hoping to recover some of the money they invested in them. And then Germany invaded them, and war was seen as extremely bad because England nearly got invaded. Today, England continues the tough gun laws because they know they would be in full civil war since they have given up on making their native population into well informed citizens.

>This basically ended it.
And as unlike the 2nd Amendment we have no legal or constitutional doucument binding it, and the fact this countries never had a gun culture even when it was legal there's been no resistance to change.
UKIP want to reintroduce Handguns but no one really cares.
There are more firearms in the UK held by the populace now than there were prior to 1968, where the gun laws were similar to the ones in red American states.
Since the greatest weapon anyone can have is their body, what are you guys doing to train your physical and mental toughness? Modern operators have to have the stamina of stallions and the strength of demigods. Currently I've been doing THOR III, what are my fellow /k/ommandos doing? Anyone else practicing the UBRR?

Trying to get ~1300-1400 atm.
I'd love to hear about other routines, currently I'm working on my run so any good endurance run programs would be appreciated.

I've been working on my standing long jump, I need to have an 8ft one to enlist.
Sure, i'll take the bait. Real guys who do real shit don't have the body of this dude. This dude is a fat fuck who probably couldn't hike or run more than a few miles. My guess is former LEO right?
Real players in this field have wiry bodies with medium to low bodyfat.
>>33193309
I've been hearing about that on the new OPAT test, it's one of the things that's got me concerned.
Can /k/ recommend a good budget gun?
I'm not dead-set on a Taurus, just using it as an example.
>>33193060
What is your budget like? What do you plan on using it for?
Hi-point guns get shit on by gun snobs, but they're actually pretty decent for the price. You can find them brand new for about $150-$200 or used closer to $100 which isn't a bad deal for a semi-auto pistol. The down sides are that they're bulky and heavy and low capacity for a gun of its size and takedown is a PITA. Last round tends to hang up, but that's fairly easy to remedy with some kitchen table gunsmithing.
If you're willing to spend about $100 more, you can definitely get some much better -- albeit used -- guns that are just all-around better than a Hi-Point.
>>33193060
You can get a Canik TP9 for under $300, they're great for the price.
Help me decide, /k/.
My dream gun is a Walther p99. I would love to buy that gun but I wouldn't carry it for fear of losing it or having it wither away in an evidence locker should I need to use it. It would remain a home-defense/bedside gun and I had planned on picking up some cheap CCW as my carry gun, like a LC9 or something.
Alternatively, a PPS M1 is -almost- as good as the P99, but would fit both rolls, being more concealable and cheaper.
What do? And if I go the first route, should I get the cheap CCW or the P99 first?

You do know you're more likely to be struck by lightning, right? This fucking meme needs to die.

Please delete the thread now, I read it a second time and I got even more mad.

...so get the P99?
What are you going to do if the government bans your guns?

go back to your containment board, chucklehead

But it's a legitimate question. They already did it in Connecticut. What are you going to do? Are you going to turn them in?

Guns?? What guns are you t..... ohh the guns i used to have. Funny story, i had this boat and i was out having fun with all my guns on board when all of a sudden there was a terrible accident! Now all i have left are Vietnam style traps in a 1 mile perimeter of my house for unconstitutional gun grabbing liberals
What's the most impractical, shit gun that you still love?
Duck's foot pistols for me.

In situations other than a mutinous pirate crew, most guns perform better.
I'm doing research on the politics of assault weapons laws for my freshman political science class. I don't know anything about guns beyond hunting with my grandfather. I don't really know where to begin. Can you help me out, /k/.
>>33192573
That's like doing a paper on unicorns or black inventors. It's purely academic and not grounded in reality.
>>33192580
What do you mean?
Define assault weapon
>"assault weapons" aren't protected under the second amendment according to federal courts
What the fuck does this mean? I thought gun rights were supposed to get better now that we won and the gun grabbing old bitch lost?
>What the fuck does this mean?
No idea since you are too stupid to post the specific link or links and no one here is under obligation to look shit up for your lazy no content posting arse.
Fuck off and fuck you. Go be butthurt somewhere else.
It means butthurt liberal federal judges are throwing a tantrum. Don't worry, they're morons.

Why is Switzerland the only European country without draconian gun laws?
Why isn't this board limited to US, Canadian and Swiss IPs only?
>>33192407
Czech Republic is also so-so, Germany and Sweden aren't Britain either, if you catch my drift. Serbia is weird but you also have tons of gun owners here.
>>33192429
Cuckmany has some of the worst laws. Same with Sweden.
Only the Czech Republic is decent in your post.
>permit
Sounds draconian to me.

What does that question even mean? The Desert Eagle IS a gun... Are you asking, "What's the Desert Eagle of rifles?"
>>33192330
No, what's the Desert Eagle of guns.
Something over the top just for the sake of it while foregoing practicality.
I already have a 7.62x39 SLR AK rifle.
I'm thinking about buying the 5.56 SLR AK rifle.
Convince me that the 7.62 is the best all around cartridge.
>>33192224
5.56 is the best all around cartridge anon.
7.62 a thicc cutie. fun to be around, probably a decent cook, good family values, etc
5.56 looks like an anorexic bitch. scolds you for eating steaks

Walking home some guy bumps into me and instantly starts chatting shit to my face about Glocks being the best handguns. I tried to stay calm and explained to him that M1911s were actually the best handguns, but he wouldn't take a hint. He started throwing around words like 'lower capacity' and I lost it. Punched him right in his Glock loving face. I hate Glocks so much.
