continued from Bushmaster vs Colt...
I don't know why or who locked the forum Bushmaster vs Colt, but He Dog's last comment was..."Since when does need have anything to do with buying guns?"...I'm not sure what you are asking. In the english language need and want are two different words with two different meanings, yet its very common for us to say we need something (for us with a sence of humor) when we really just want it. This isn't so with other languages....when I was deciding if I wanted to go into Federal law enforcement I decided I should have a few foriegn languages to give me the edge on a resume'. One of the langauges I took 4 quarters of was Swahili, in Kiswahili the word "taka" means "need or want". That's the only word they have for those to "two" words. This prevents happens like this were the question comes up...."do you need it or want it?"

    What I am saying is when we want a gun, we buy it. Really it was kind of a joke: Need has nothing to do with buying guns and if you only buy the guns you "need" you will likely have a shot gun and a deer rifle and maybe a rimfire. How much fun is that? It was really not very serious, and meant as encouragement to buy it.
    Sorry I confused you.

    Capt. Kirk closes theads in the Experts forum because he figures the question is answered by then, and anything else is discussion which belongs here. If he did not the same topics would hang on the front page for days while we all said, +1, me too, I had one of those when I was a kid, but mine was brown, how much do you want for it, and
    Hairy is smarter than I am and besides he doesn't agree with me so I don't think he should be allowed to post here, and other favorite whines.

    Now, go buy that rifle!
