In fact, every part of a modern firearm itself is regulated by this COWARDLY gun law. Only air guns and muzzle loaders made before 1890 are completely free. Empty cartridges, percussion caps and gun powder are also free. But every single part of a modern firearm is licensed, not only the gun as a whole. See why I hate the gun law?

Oh, I forgot, the air guns are not allowed to have a muzzle velocity of more than 200 m/s or an impact of more than 10 J/cm2. Otherwise you need a license for them as well. :roll:

Likewise in Australia, a barrel blank is regarded by our law as a firearm and you need a "permit to acquire" to get one, same as a complete longarm.

Just found this:
http://www.soliver.be/en/architecture/dupliver_kw.html
Bullet "proof glass" needs to be 60mm thick to stop a 7.62 or 308 Win. There are plenty of hunting rifles more powerful than this and being a 270 aficianado, I think the humble 270 would have better penetration than a 308, having higher sectional density.

If in doubt, go for a 338 Win Mag with a solid bullet. :twisted:

Any good hit to the glass would require replacement of the glass, if not the camera.

If you can, get the movie Cool Hand Luke

http://www.destgulch.com/movies/luke/

The opening scenes of Cool Hand Luke shows Luke drinking beer while cutting the heads off parking meters with a pipe cutter. He's arrested and sentenced to two years on a chain gang. The Captain asks him upon his arrival at the camp, "What'd you think that was going to get you?" He admits to Dragline later that he was settling an old score when he did it.

Luke ends up dying.

What the penalty in Sweeden for destroying traffic cameras?

Not me.

My life will end with me riding into the sunset.

Riding what, I don't know.

And then will come the sequel: Werbert II: The Search for TheMachine1

uhhh...hate to mention this, but there are quite a few people out there who have a vastly overinflated opinion of their own driving skills, and a fair number of other drivers, dumb kids, and drunks who might not deserve the death penalty.

I'm not convinced that driving like a psycho is legitimate civil disobedience.

It depends on the way you do it. If you melt them down or cut them off you will get feed and your driving licence will be revoked. If you shoot at them or blow them up, you will most probably go to jail for "causing publicly dangerous destruction".

You don't have to drive like a psycho to get feed. You just have to drive 6 mph faster than allowed. In Germany there are no speed limits at all on the higways, so why should there be in Sweden? Germany is about 20 times more densed populated than Sweden, but they still have no speed limits on the Autobahn.

It's just Big Brother wanting to put the little man on place, as usual.

Yeah, in this country road rage is a major problem.

It's here too. Funny thing is, the brave Swedish police don't dare to try to catch the really dangerous drivers, the road racers. Most European cars do about 150 mph and some sports car do over 200 mph. Then the cops simply don't even try to stop them, because "it could risk the lives of innocents trying to stop someone driving that fast." :roll:
