"Although some might find the subject matter offensive..."

These are a few good photos of guns. Now if we're talking about being
offensive, how about some of the objectification and exploitation which
goes on in this forum, huh? Be wary where the finger is pointed
without first examining oneself. 
Many of us drive cars and those kill far more people than guns ever
have. Most of us like good booze and booze kills far more people per
any chosen time period than guns. Some of us like good cigars, some of
us smoke. Both of those things kill more people than guns. We just
regulate who can drive and smoke and drink yet we still have
irresponsibility and addiction killing tens of thousands of people
per-year. Just like fine cameras, and fine cars there is a sense of
great mechanical precision to a fine firearm. That Sig-Sauer is one of
them. Fantastic piece.
As long as man exists, there will be some need for defense because
someone else is taking an offensive position. It's human nature and to
deny that is simply irresponsible. Living in a utopian dream is just
that, a dream. It will never happen. That's what heaven is for. Until
then, some people will choose to defend themselves instead of relying
on legislature because when you need help, it might as well be the
legislature passing a bill to assist you because if you aren't self
reliant, no matter what laws get passed they won't help you to
survive.
