For a second there I thought you were planning to start with guns as a hobby. Frangrances are safer...

I'm evaluating it for a week now; the plans range from 50 to 100 USD per month based on the data transfer limit.

It might be, but how long will it last? We have an astronomical amount of debt, taxes are going to increase (new VAT taxes, possible carbon taxes, heathbill laws kicking in), and interest rates are going to rise (if they don't raise the interest rates inflation will be off the charts). If debt holders start to dump their bonds, there will be rapid hyperinflation. War with Iran is eminent, that will be terribly expensive and destructive.

Are guns cheaper too? Just wondering...
Sadly, no.

I dont know this for a fact, but I've heard that its illegal to sell automatics in the US. You can however buy some device (and is completely legal) that can be fixed to any weapon to make it an automatic - this device is commonly available, even in super markets. Weird! Anyway, automatics are always so much more fun. :)

Wow. that's a lot. And dataTransferlimit?? I guess the one good thing of living in Romania is cheep and fast broadband connection. For legal downloads that is, off course... :-\
It ranges from about 25 to 100 GB. However, I don't have much of data transfer, so it suits me.

Not much, though. In fact, the supply of cheap Russian 7.62x39 ammo seems to have dried up completely! I hate paying $15 /20 rds when not long ago I was paying $300 /1000 rds. Worse, some of the commercial ammo doesn't reliably operate the action on the AK-47; it takes the higher kick of military stuff.

Only if you're watching a well-breasted bikin-clad woman firing one. Other than that, they're kinda a waste of ammo.

Which - once again - depends almost entirely where you are. You have to be able to alter your sensibilities so that you can take advantage of an otherwise target-rich environment.

Hey man! Have you *actually* shot anyone with a gun?
Yes, and it was while I was in the Navy, and no, it wasn't an "enemy combatant".

Or is it like collecting ammo and guns is your hobby?
I don't "collect" guns or ammo in the sense of being a collector. I purchase guns for specific uses and practice with them regularly. There's no point in owning a gun unless you know how and when to use it. I have enough ammo for each gun I own, and unless I buy a subsequent weapon of the same caliber, I won't be needing any more ammo on hand than I already have. "Collectors" gather weapons of significant jistorical significance, and hide them away thinking they'll become valuable. They generally do not fire these weapons, or even chamber a round in them. For example, my dad has a .30-30 Winchester manufactured in 1956 that has never been fired or even had a round chambered in it. I keep pestering him to give me the rifle but I think he won't because he knows I'll go out and "ruin it's value" by taking it to the range and putting a few hundred rounds through it. My hobby is programming. My hobbies over the years have included collecting diecast cars, building wooden ship models, building plastic model cars, and full-sized Ford performance vehicles of the 60's.

"The staggering layers of obscenity in your statement make it a work of art on so many levels." - J. Jystad, 2001There are different kinds of collectors. When my grandfather died, there were three separate auctions: one for the house, one for his shop equipment, and a final one for his gun collection. He had over 300 weapons, most of which he had fired at least once. While he was not a 'certified' gunsmith, he liked buying and restoring old guns. In the final tally, his gun collection was worth more than the house and shop combined.

I agree entirely with that statement, but I can't help wondering where exactly anyone needs guns? The list has narrowed down to two totally uncivilised places: Harry Harrison's Deathworld, and the US.
