I require nothing less than a .50 cal Barrett. Why do I need a .50 caliber? To shoot the bloody squirrels, duh. Don't ask silly questions. Now get off my lawn.

So having the highest gun r8 death per capita of any developed nation is all about self defence ... right 
Not self-defense exactly. America became a nation because common people had access to guns equal or even superior to the British army. The weak stance on gun control followed logically from there. They're viewed as the last defense against tyranny, given that historical examples of democracy, such as in Greece and Rome, had previously failed due to internal pressures towards dictatorships.
This, by the way, is not the reason I personally like guns. Some people collect stamps. I blow holes in random objects.

dear god, am i the only person to like this gun? never mind the whole "blow big holes in things" aspect, and the looks, i've relly enjoyed this thing, one of my favorite gun, my one big complaint is that the bullet's so heavy that it drops a lot at range, but it's a friggin pistol, not a rifle! "At Range" ideally with this is about 30ft tops anyway (yes you can EASILY go further, but that's the furthest you're likely to have to shoot a pistol at outside target shooting)
now i'll admit for target shooting it's crap, but as far as the engineering, durability, ease of use, etc... i just don't understand all the hatin'
I have to agree. The Desert Eagle is a great work of engineering. It's also large, heavy, not particularly accurate, and likely to blow straight through your target, a few brick walls behind them, and hit an innocent bystander down the street. But when it comes to blowing holes in things using a (relatively) small package, it's top notch.

When it comes to personal defence, HK MP7 and FN P90 are the win.
Its a pity that they are too expensive and, hehe, are illegal =)
:D
They should both be available as class III weapons, which is a pain, but is at least possible to get legally. The P90's 50 round clip is somewhat over the AWB 10 round maximum, but that law isn't in effect for the moment . . .
I believe the P90 also comes in a semi-auto civilian version.

and yes you CAN fire the DE one handed... just go to friggin youtube.
Yeah, right. This is what shooting a .50 caliber deagle looks like:

Look at that and tell me that there's someone who can fire it one-handed without shattering their wrist.
I've not found a single video where a person fired a deagle one handed that wasn't either firing blanks or was using a piddling 9mm.

supersoaker with liquid nitrogen ftw!
I hope the next school shooting comes from a super soaker flamethrower. Watching the talking heads on CNN try to ban super soakers and WD-40 would be priceless.
