I've shot a Barrett M82 which looks similar to that howitzer, but it was only .50 caliber. That thing is a beast.

"Civilian-minded anti-material rifle.' :lol:
"Suspect the 3 black guys in that armoured car 2 miles away are coming to break into your house and rape your wife? We have the perfect home defense tool for you!"

Good guys with guns is always the answer
If the grilled cheese sandwich had been armed and had some cold cuts it could have been a hero.
More guns is always the answer. If his wife and kids had been armed the police wouldn't have needed to be involved at all.

Today I learned this is available for public purchase in the US.

I give you the anzio 20mm rifle.



Marketed as a "civilian-minded anti-material rifle". It has a range of almost 3 miles.

20mm weapons are typically used against large targets such as vehicles, buildings, or aircraft.

I mean, I'm sure you need a bucket of cash and have to jump through a few hoops to get one, but still :eek:
What does Anti-Material mean, does it make matter go out of existence? Strange terminology.

I am going to chalk up your lack of appreciation to my epic pun to not being American :)

It means rounds that are designed to take out cars, tanks, aircraft, as opposed to people... you know, standard home defense stuff.

Just your regular Easter Weekend in the US of A. Two more mass shootings being reported in Pennsylvania and South Carolina. One was in an Air BNB house. The newsreader said that gun sales in the US have gone through the roof in 2022 and quoted a stat that in New York only 6% of all New York streets had reported a gun shooting......that was every New York street!! And they were quite pleased with those figures. WTF??

Is Juvenile a common word to use in this situation? Children is much more impactful.

I'm just trying to get my head around the fact and trying to imagine that where I live in Somerset, UK there are 3 streets in every 50 where I could be shot. That is just mindblowing. How do you people live over there?

Same way people live in Syria, or the shanties of Brazil, or in parts of South Africa. Being shot just becomes part of the norm, therefore nothing to over-fear.

People like us in the UK are the minority weirdos.

Yeah I understand that but I'm talking about America, the richest nation in the world and supposedly the land of the free where everything is supposed to be the best.

America is the lesson for us all. When money takes over sense.

I wonder how long the outrage lasts before it is forgotten and they move on to the next one...

I wonder if Fox will even report this, or if they do if they will mention motive. Somehow, I doubt it.

At this point I have lost the battle to convince my wife to move to Canada. The best I can do is to stick my head in a hole in NC for a few years and then we can move semi-permanently to Ireland (6 months a year). I hate this place.

Come on, look at your surname. How can anyone vote for these people. It’s one thing to have this view, but to then have it when you have clearly benefited from immigration somewhere down the line…

That's why it makes me laugh having Priti Patel as Home Secretary and some of the crap she comes out with.
