Right, they're "weapons".

No, according to the drill sergeants they're weapons.

Firearms are simply tools. I believe an armed society is a polite society.
I further believe that in a society such as the US where there is a firearm in most houses the rate of home invasion goes down..
In the US to buy a pistol you must apply for a license, wait a week for the fedaral gov't to say you can have your gun then you go and pick it up.
Now you and I know that we can go down to K-mart, Wal-mart, or any other department store and purchase a chain-saw or an axe this afternoon, and bring it home this afternoon.

Kristof, I think you need to go study some history.
Firstly, the Jews didn't die because they couldn't bear arms. They died because someone who was desperate to unite his country picked a united group and then engendered hatred of that group to bring his own disparate elements together. Unfortunately, in later years this person started believing his own propaganda, and what he'd made up he decided was fact, and he started killing the Jews. It's possibly THE BEST example of ingroup/outgroup philosophy as discussed by me in the Church & State thread.
Secondly, the Kmher Rouge were also led by a despot whose savage brutality knew no bounds. Arms in the country would have made little difference to the atrocities committed there. Same in the USSR during the reign of Stalin, with his incessant 'purges'.
The only way to resist oppression is to be armed, I will agree on that point, but since, as the popular saying goes "the man with the power is the man with the gun", you will find in the annals of history that it is the armed who are the oppressors.

It is the armed jerks who are the oppressors. And most people aren't jerks.

When I said armed jerks I was referring to those already of an evil mentality. I did not mean that people armed are jerks. Notice that I said most people aren't jerks.
I am pro gun.

I've shot a little bit of this, little bit of that...
Oh, guns, right... I guess I should quit talking about moonshine...
Anyway, yeah, I've shot my uncle's rifle at his farm, and I suck at target practice. But seeing that I havn't shot that gun anywhere in the double-digits yet for rounds-fired, I'm not too upset.
P.S. Have you ever shot a cow w/ a BB gun? It's great at getting them to move if they're clogging up the barn, but not so great if you use it as defense, that's when the pitch fork comes in...

I was at a customer's house today (I do electronics installation). He had a collection of cool guns. An AK-47, an AR-15, an M1A1 Springfield sniper rifle (complete with a nightvision scope ) a couple of shotguns (including an antique double-barrelled one).
What surprised me was how small and light the AK was. It's shorter than an M16, and probably weighs two or three pounds less. Still, it's very solid and supposed to be next door to indestructible ~

I heard the ak ? kalishnikov (sp?) is favored to the m16. early 16s had problems.

Depends on who you talk to. You must keep an M16 clean at all times or it will jam. The AK is more tolerant of less than perfect conditions.
Other than that, M16 is a very reliable and effective weapon. The same person who had the collection had also served in Vietnam. He said that in firing thousands of rounds his M16 had never jammed...so...
