What’s The Coolest Gun You’re Probably Not Allowed To Own?(allowed?)

You’re talking with a friend about gun rights and the limits of the Second Amendment.

“Absolutely, you should be able to own a gun,” she says. “But who needs an assault weapon?” She goes on to spout a line explaining how bump stocks turn regular guns into machine-guns. “Doesn’t the sale of machine guns put the public at higher risk for school shootings? Machine guns kill more people faster, right?”

She has a good point. Fully automatic guns are dangerous when they fall into the wrong hands. You start to wonder: Do we really need them?

But then you read the Second Amendment again. And you remember: The amendment protects our right to bear arms, not just so that we can protect ourselves from crazy school shooters, but so that we can protect ourselves from any threat to our freedom — up to and including our own government.

I have a Pedersoli LeMat, have yet to fire it but there’s a really good vid on how to load & shoot nine shots & shotgun bbl.

In TV western 60 years ago (Johnny Ringo?) the sheriff carried a LeMat. Famous last words from bad guy:

“That’s six, Sheriff. Yer outta bullets.” POW! POW! POW!

Surviving bad guy, “Now I know yer empty!” KABOOM!

"They were big, heavy and hard to control."

I carried the 60 for around 18 months, and I will agree that it was big and heavy, but it wasn't hard to control and could easily take down targets at 1000 yards when its bipod was used (which would have been the majority of the time). The training at the time stressed firing short bursts of 6-10 rounds, not long streams of continuous fire, to increase accuracy and preserve the barrel.

Nope, it was a German Anti-Tank Rifle.

Don’t recall all this “supposed” Gun Violence when FREE Americans could buy any Firearm they wanted without the Government being involved in the process.

It’s funny that the two WW2 Great Powers who seriously considered “super-battleships”, Japan and Germany, were in no position economically to actually produce the things.

There were many Japanese battleships, for instance the Nagato, that were way over “treaty” limits. At Bikini they awed USN personnel. The Bismarck itself would surely have changed, at least for a time, the course of the war in the Atlantic.

I have a Lemat.

Well....a Pietta reproduction anyway. If you want an original in reasonable condition, I hope you have an extra $20,000 laying around.

16 inch 50 calibre.

Much bigger bang than a 16 inch long 50 calibre.

I don’t want to own any guns. They’re too dangerous and they weigh-down your boat too much.
