Firearms are used for several reasons
-Cheating in a knife fight
-Commiting Crimes
-Hunting
-Destroying small objects out of boredom
-Target Practice
These tools first came around in China with the work of gunpowder. Europe began using firearms in the late 1300s. In the 1500s, the arquebus arrived and anyone could be recruited into the army in a short time, thus knights or any other honorary soldier that had spent a years to a lifetime training weren't needed as little skill was involved in operating a gun. In modern times, many countries have banned them, but they remain common in criminal hands. Although most firearm owners are honest non-criminals, any idiotic scum can get their hands on a firearm, giving it a bad reputation, and giving politicians thought about banning specific guns. There is much controversy in this issue, afterall some people just like going duck hunting with 155mm howitzers, and small concealable silenced automatic weapons designed for murder are perfectly safe after all.

Get the Firearm mug.Another one of man's best friends, second to the dog. You load a bullet, unlock the gun, aim at your target, pull the trigger, and get smacked in the face by kick-back. Usually protested against by hippies, anti-war protestors, liberals, and other idiots. The United Kingdom has fallen prey to the liberal predators in Parliament who passed laws controlling the ownership and usage of firearms, and not just safety laws (like the United States.)
I love my firearm. I sleep with it in my bed.
"George, I killed my firearm because i pet it too hard."
"Don't worry, Lenny, I'll fix it for you."

Get the Firearm mug.When you spread athletic muscle cream (such as Icy Hot) all of your arm and hand and then fist someone. A sub word or phrase if this would be Fire in the hole. This is when you put your muscle creamed arm in the poop shoot instead of the vagina.

Get the firearm oviparity mug.The asinine requirement to purchase a firearm (rifle or shotgun), ammunition or even BB guns in the People's Republic of New Jersey. Although not technically required for possession of such items, it does, as a generality, serve as a de facto proof of being "eligible" to possess firearms. Application for FID is typically made to the law enforcement agency at which one resides. Non residents apply at the nearest NJSP trooper barracks. The process is highly intrusive and involves signing a waiver to allow disclosure of mental health information to determine eligibility and the providing of references who must attest to the "fitness" of the applicant.
The process is supposed to take no more than 30 days, but do to prevailing anti 2nd amendment attitudes and sentiments held by most law enforcement agencies, it can take, in some cases, upwards of a year to be issued one; other localities, more accepting of the second amendment will issue within 30 days. In addition, there are multiple cases of denial for "arbitrary" and vague reasons, often termed as "public health and safety".

Oh you want to buy this gun, ok, let me see your Firearm Identification Card before we can proceed with this sale.
Oh, you want to apply for a FID. Here sign this mental health waiver and we'll hopefully issue your card in the next year or so.
LEO- Let me see your FID.
Law abiding citizen-Sir, respectfully, I do not need a FID since I am in possession under one of the exemptions provided for by NJ law.
LEO-Get the fuck out of the car and get on the ground!!!!! You cannot possess a firearm without a FID!!!!!

Get the Firearm Identification Card mug.1. Someone who knows a lot about firearms and likes to study them. This could apply to either historical firearms (like the Lee Enfield and the tommygun), or modern firearms (i.e. Glock, USP, MP5, the M16 family), or a combination thereof
Steve is a firearm nerd. He could name you thirty different automatic firearms in his sleep in addition to their clip size, fire rate, and ammunition type

Get the firearm nerd mug.refers to the day of the week, followed by Thursday, in which guys go to the gym before going out to solely work on the arms (firearms) and then proceed to kick off the weekend of partying with shotgunning a beer thereafter (firearm)... a total frat move
"Firearm Friday is tommorow, so we have to do bi's and tri's at the gym for the ladies right before shotgunning those Budweisers"
