Well as far as I'm aware, not a single weapons ban has extended to historical artifacts. Even during the us assault weapons ban you could still buy pre-ban assault rifles and other fully automatic weapons. I'm sure your sword collection will be safe. =P

does anyone else find that pretty hilarious?

Additionally I don't know much about wandering in the wilderness, but why does it seem that it's only in america that people claim they need guns to wander in the wilderness? Pretty sure there are wild animals all over the world.

I'm not saying no one should have a gun, or saying that anyone who owns one is wrong, but personally, I would never own a gun, and I'm glad that the attitude towards guns in europe is so different to the US.

Have you ever been chased by a badger? Have you ever been to places so remote that it would a week to walk out or a whole day in 4WD. The gun is a tool I have not had to kill anything yet have scared off things before.

The American badger, Taxidea taxus, is a mustelid carnivoran with a boldly patterned face and a reputation for ferocity. Its scientific name means "like a badger," in reference to its similarity of appearance with the Eurasian badger, Meles meles. The name "badger" probably refers to the "badges" or brownish-black patches of fur on its cheeks. The snout and crown of the head are also black. The facial markings also include a white throat and base of the ears, and a white stripe that extends from behind the nose, over the head, and onto the shoulders. The stripe often extends down to the rump in southwestern Taxidea.

Taxidea is a relatively large mustelid, weighing up to 12 kg (26.5 lbs), with a head and body length range of 42-72 cm (16.5 -28 in). Its tail is relatively short, only 10-15 cm (4-6 in). It is equipped with long foreclaws and powerful front legs for a fossorial (digging) lifestyle. Taxidea excavates burrows for dens and to capture prey. The primary prey of Taxidea are rodents and other small vertebrates. The sense of hearing is acute in Taxidea, as indicated by the inflated and septate tympanic bullae of the skull.

The skull of Taxidea is wedge-shaped, the occiput triangular in outline. The rostrum is short and equipped with large upper and lower canines. The powerful jaws and complex teeth of Taxidea are well-suited for processing prey. Taxidea's dental formula is: I 3/3; C 1/1; P 3/3; M 1/2. The P4 has a medial shelf and a hypocone. Transverse rows of cusps on the M1 are distinctive, yet exhibit some variation within the genus. The m1 has a well-developed trigonid and a talonid with a central hypoconid and entoconid.

The genus Taxidea first appeared in North America about 6 million years ago. The fossil remains of at least two individual Taxidea were recovered from Yepómera, Chihuahua, Mexico, and are the oldest known to date. During the Pleistocene, the range of Taxidea extended north into Alaska and as far east as Maryland and Pennsylvania. Today Taxidea ranges from the western United States, southern British Columbia and northern Alberta, eastward into Ohio. Its southern distribution includes Baja California and northern and central Mexico.

It is one bad tempered creature.

I love taking Dutch people out with my bong. Some times I use my gravitron because it delivers an extra powerful shot. I load it with about 10 extra grains of isolator and it will knock the biggest bear to the floor no problem. My other weapon of choice is my mind. I use it to engage people in conversation and try to teach them my tolerant ways. Some listen, some don't. Some get it, some never will. But I do promise to continue to use my personal weapons to defeat evil and ignorance where ever it rears its ugly head. So I am very glad to have personal weapons of choice here in Holland.

milehigh definatly gets my vote for best detour in a thread that needed some new direction

I think that the main difference is that the badger is the second largest carnivore in the UK. Also you could walk across the UK in a week let alone to the next sign of civilization. I do not own any guns either but I live in a city that is not to bad with crime and I don't feel like I need one but I would be pissed if someone told I couldn't own one especially my no good government.
So there for my weapon of choice is the bong......................and some crystal clear from the katsu
