    Err, why can't you own an AK-47? You can even own one in Finland (as long as it isn't full auto).

    Yeah, I don't see how that stops you? I know there are plenty of folks in the US who own AK-47's.

    Heck, in some states you can even open carry them.

    I don't consider those semi-auto pieces of garbage they sell in the US to be AK47s. Can't spell AK without Автомат!

    It's for the best. You should be buying American weapons anyway.

    Psh. Europeans (Israel included) make a huge variety of excellent guns.

    I have yet to find a handgun brand I like better than HK, nor a rifle I like better than my SMLE.

    Fine, let me buy the fun American weapons then! Semiautomatic is boring. Nothing beats the feel of 20 bucks worth of ammunition going down range in 45 seconds!

    Europeans could make the best guns in the world, it still doesn't matter. You buy American to support America!

    That's why I love logging my hours at the base shooting range. I get to use an m4 carbine, and the ammunition is free. Of course, the downside is I can't really play around while I'm there. We're expected to take our time there pretty seriously, so 99% of the time I'm still only using single shot. But hey, free 5.56 rounds!

    No, can't say I ever have. That would be pretty sweet, though.

    Free bullets? You didn't build that.

    Government bullets is a form of socialism I could really get behind.

    I'm in intel... They don't let me touch any of the cool toys -_-

    70% of my job is done with a phone and a keyboard. Another 29.5% is done with a projector and a laser pointer. I've been in a helicopter only twice, both times as a passenger.

    Heh, I've logged more helicopter time as a civilian! I've spent more than enough time in them. If I had my way I'd never board another helicopter again. Those things aren't safe.
    'Twas a cutlass swipe or an ounce of lead
    Or a yawing hole in a battered head
    And the scuppers clogged with rotting red
    And there they lay I damn me eyes
    All lookouts clapped on Paradise
    All souls bound just contrarywise, yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!

    I've been in a helicopter exactly once (as a civilian). I will never ever do it again. Not only am I afraid of heights, I'm also afraid of laws of nature making the contraption fall out of the sky.

    I enjoy the flying, but being in an industry that uses helicopters extensively, I've known too many people who have been in helicopter crashes, and seen the incident reports from helicopter crashes too often to feel like they're a safe form of transportation.

    I feel the same way about small planes.

    I'm fine on a good, sturdy passenger jet though.
