ironically the largst demographic of people who live on slang, and devote their tiem and effort to creating more complicated ways to say something simple, are the demographic most likely to flunk out of school because they arent 'able" to apply themselves in school from sheer laziness.

Well, not to be controversial BUT..... who goes around saying a cap and ball revolver is a toy? I've never heard that? And, I do a lot of shooting. It is true that there have been a few crimes involving a cap and ball revolver but I believe there have probably been more screwdrivers, hammers, etc used in crimes than a C & B revolver. I think we have to ask ourselves why regular, modern handguns are regulated to the degree they are- probably because they are often the weapon of choice for the bad guys. That's not true with the C & B revolver- it is a non-issue. I am sure if they ever begin showing up in crimes to any measurable extent then things will change pronto. Right now to regulate them would be a lot of fuss and trouble for nothing.
One good aspect of all this is that although having only 5 or 6 shots is not very attractive for robbing a bank- 5 or 6 shots is still pretty good in a defensive situation to save your life, so- for now at least- I hope the Pols leave well enough alone. "Don't fix what aint broke"

Newton, the concept of "slang" isn't just uneducated people being ignorant. Think about words like Soda vs. Pop before blanket statementing demographics who speak differently from yourself.

And there was a thread on here not too long ago asking to "see your toys" about blackpowder, but I've never seen any other guns refered to as toys on the forum, that's example A.

Wow ... some of y'all just need to lighten up a little.

As it applies within the gun world, there are two definitions of "toy".
1- Positive as it applies to something liked.
"I picked up a new toy at the gunshop on the way home from work today."

2- Negative as it applies to something of lesser value that is most often rooted in ignorance.
"C&B? That's just a toy. Check out my snazzy new mega-magnum tactical..."

Now, for those of you who wish to take things litterally ... would you consider this a "new toy" or a "potential vehicular homicide machine"? Before you answer, take into account that it's 535Hp w/ up to 400Hp Nitrous Oxide boost. (yes, it's available to be someone's new toy)

This swivel vise is a new "toy" for me to use for horn work ... how would it be classified if not as a "new toy"?

Granted, I didn't YET go through all the posts, though I intend to when it isn't 3AM... BUT, my take on it is this: My Hobbies are the things that do not fall into the category of work, chores, necessary "do" things... The things that make up my hobbies are my "toys". Another hobby besides shooting is armored combat (medieval style with live steel). I own many edged weapons besides all the ones I use in combat--most of which are hundreds of years old and are very much proven weapons of their day. These are also my "toys". I play with them, I get pleasure from them. It's really that simple. Are they all deadly weapons? Yup---depending upon HOW I play with them and why.

But I still call them my toys...

Pictures required!

Thats right we need a pic , dont Toy with us .

madcratebuilder · December 11, 2009, 11:20 AM

He who dies with the most toys wins.

For most men, toys can be fire arms, cars, airplanes, motocylcles, or anything that is not needed for normal life.

All right, this isn't mine by any means---but it IS a much better example than any of the photos I have. Can't seem to get it to embed directly, though, so just follow the link.

And I found another from TV coverage on CBS News a while back---pretty good also. That should give you a pretty fair idea what kind of other "toys" I play with

Also, since we're showing off... Here is my other toy...

FL-Flinter · December 12, 2009, 07:49 AM

Rangefinder,

That dude with the crossbow in the first clip looked like he was about to get serious.

How's about some pic's of the weapons too?
