Strip Gun Club website
When anti-gun crusaders use the phrase “assault weapon,” they tend to portray the weapons in question as being on the same level as obvious military-grade technology like miniguns, fully automatic rifles, and even rapid-firing machine guns. The inaccuracy of these descriptions aside, one certainly can understand how people might simultaneously find such military-level weapons fascinating even if they also find them profoundly frightening to imagine in the hands of their less-than-stable neighbors. Many gun enthusiasts, in fact, might even privately wonder what it’s like to shoot one.
According to a new report by CNN, such people need wonder no more. There exists a range in Las Vegas called Strip Gun Club that allows its patrons to fire weapons as powerful as fully automatic, 50-caliber machine guns, Smith & Wesson 500s, and all sorts of other weapons that are very hard to own. The club has only been open a month, and apparently its biggest hurdle is finding new sources of ammunition, but for people who can afford to shell out the money required to rent such high end weapons, it almost certainly must be intriguing.
The range is located right on the Vegas strip and boasts a unique experience. Below is a list of weapons you could shoot should you decide to visit:
Strip Gun Club
Watch the CNN report below, which describes the range as a place where patrons can fulfill their gun “fantasies”:

Jan. 16, 2013 at 9:32amHow do we resist? How will they know we have guns? Do these fools expect us to hand them in? Here is how it will work: When we shoot some ******* that’s breaking into our house after he has cased the place mowing the yard or some Bro or Ho trying to jack our car they arrest us? They charge us with a crime and then the bottom of the barrel legal culture instigates a law suit where the perp sues us and then moves into our house and creates a white flight situation leading to the spread of the toxic black plague moving from the urban areas into the suburbs?

Jan. 16, 2013 at 9:15amBeck says we can overwhelm the system by allowing ourselves to be peacefully arrested for our guns. What a fool. The NDAA gives Obama the power to label you as an enemy combatant, to be held indefinitely, without due process.
Worst part is, most of his Repube heroes voted for it.
Do not listen to this logic, it will result in you being held in jail, and your guns being taken

Jan. 16, 2013 at 11:15amHey dustbummie, If we ever need to take up arms and overthrow a tyrannical government. Like our fore fathers did in the American Revolution, we will need sandbags….you’ll do just fine.
Also, a “well regulated militia” means it is disciplined and practiced/trained. It does NOT mean under the rule of a list of regulations. So, to train, modern technology allows us to use paper targets, indoors, NOT a tree trunk in our back yards.
Now hurry on back….recess is almost over, Honey.

Jan. 16, 2013 at 8:37amWe have several ranges that rent fully auto machineguns, sub machine guns and pistols. Yes, machine guns are legal here in Nevada. One of the only things they have not screwed with. No they re not cheap but not that expensive either. Full auto is fun. It always puts a smile on your face.

Yes, isn’t it interesting, that the gov’t in general and politicians/activists specifically, tend to interpret words in the Constitution, especially in the BOR, to have the widest meaning and application as possible, or as needed for their causes/agendas, but totally ignore the simple meaning of infringement as it appears in the 2nd, and will argue incessantly that it means they *can* infringe on it in a ‘reasonable manner’ (as they define it, of course) all they want. Once they got the NFA, its been totally down hill since.

Have they asked Eric Holder for ammo? Just tell him you’re in a Mexican drug cartel & you should be good to go.

Remember Obamacare was going to lower our insurance costs and give thirty million more people insurance; oh and if you like your insurance you can keep it? Lies. lies, and more lies!!!!
