Mounted something like this, perhaps?

He He please tell me those are for hellfire missiles and not just auxiliary lights

[jabba]

C'mon just eat plenty of beans if anyone shot me I would go off like a small nuke everything within a mile would just pass out and if I mix it with fried egg well dooms day

What a bunch of morons. Correction: insecure morons. We can only hope they'll shoot each other and thus improve the planetary gene pool.

Bet they all voted for Bush, y'all.

And then they wonder why so many of them get shot each year, bad enough an idiot on the road, but an idiot with a gun

And yes, they are serious this is their solution, I knew a guy who felt under-gunned in Tennessee, his solution was to carry the biggest Colt 45 you've ever seen in his pick-ups glove box, don't know about deploying it while driving, I don't think he could even pick the damned thing up

is that the .50 Desert Eagle ? ... Monster handgun ... typically american ... over engineered. my choice would be a Browning

Where I live, there's a very high level of gun ownership. I'm not sure exactly what it is, but I suspect most households have at least one firearm. I've seen blokes wandering down the road openly carrying firearms. The sound of gunfire isn't unusual, especially at weekends and often at night too. The police completely ignore it. Most of the bodies get taken away, but now and then I come accross a fatality.

Yes, I live in the countryside. I feel much safer living here than most of the towns/cities I've lived in, where there was a vastly lower level of gun ownership.

It's not about the guns; it's about who carrys them. I'll reserve judgement on our american friends, but in most parts of the UK the one thing you can guarantee is that a normal, well balanced, level headed individidual will never get their hands on a firearm

When you think about the fact that a significant number of americans seems to find it moraly ok to shoot somebody for trying to steal your hub-caps......

........no wonder their president keep refering to them as the "greatest nation" with an "moral obligation" and a "mission from god" ...

[sergi]

Yes, it does seem pretty amazing... Shoot first, ask later

whereas in the UK you'd probably get arrested if you gave them a kick up the arse as you chased them off

Try the Darwin Awards site for real morons, mostly our "transatlantic cousins" there, who have indeed removed themselves from the gene pool, by some quite extraordinary methods. Excellent reading, recommend it at.........www.darwinawards.com

Know it. Love it. One of my favourites is the one about the guy who actually succeeded in attaching enough helium-filled weather balloons to a garden chair to achieve lift off and a radar-confirmed altitude of 11,000 feet, remaining aloft for 14 hours. His plan for descent: A pellet gun.

There does seem to be a gravity well of intelligence over there(particularly in the area of Pennsylvania Avenue, District of Columbia.....)
