Gun Collecting In The UK Is Jolly Good Fun I Say!

[Punch The Clown]

Yes, our British cousins and most of the rest of pan-europe love their gun collecting. Only one thing-all their guns are permanently rendered inoperable. Yup, no shooting allowed in pan-europe. These guys are so sad-it's really pathetic. They have forums on collecting the same way we do-except everything they collect are no more than paperweights. To add insult to injury depending on your locale in pan-europe, these paperweights have to be purchased at a "gun shop"! Dogboysdad has a couple of euro-friendly pieces for sale right now. The future is near.

Do they have to be registered as well?

Well come now, the masses can't be armed with actual working firearms over there. How else will the grand progressive governments of old Europe, you know the ones that lecture us on how we should be, keep people in line when there failed stagnint socialist economies finally completely collapse. Besides what would happen if they increase the work week to 35 hours or something. There would be anarchy

I was told (but am too lazy to Google it) that the whole "airsoft craze" started in Japan because they're prohibited from collecting "real" guns, so they manufacture and collect highly detailed replicas, the airsoft guns.

It's our future, just give the Dems a few more terms in office.

I was into 'Mil-Sim' airsoft for lot of years. It's a ton of fun.
Traveled all over the country to big events. Some of them even put on by the military at active bases.
The attraction was always the guns and the gear. You could own a battery powered machine gun AND shoot folks with it!!
Hell, my fully tricked out airsoft M4 cost me more than some of my real steel versions did. And other than swapping out the kevlar in my body armor for foam at CQB events, my gear was exactly the same as what the active duty folks are using.
