Yeah and their absurd fixation with guns...pity

dylansiggers (Jun 18, 2012 at 8:01)

Lol except these guys are canadian

ManuelMTB (Jun 18, 2012 at 8:03)

Well, it seems the absurdness is permeating canadians then...double pity

Session603 (Jun 18, 2012 at 8:09)

Hahahahahahah. mexico has no problems and is a very peacful place. hahahahahahahahah

ManuelMTB (Jun 18, 2012 at 8:13)

Read about "Rapid & furious operation", watch Bowling for Columbine & google "gun trade & drug dealers" & you would see the nature of OUR problems related with this issue man.

ManuelMTB (Jun 18, 2012 at 8:27)

Sorry, it is fast and furious operation. Anyway, forget it. I don't want to engage in a useless argumentation, I just think it is pitiful that a mtbike website depicts teenagers shooting automatic assault weapons. My own personal opinion, that's all. Peace.

First of all the program was called " fast and furious". I'm quite familiar with it. So your insinuating that without that one botched gun running program that Mexico would be a violence free utopia? You're delusional or an idiot. I'm not going to even bother responding to your reference to that joke called bowling for columbine. If you want someone to blame for the mess that is your country look at yourself and your fellow countrymen.

kaijumps (Jun 18, 2012 at 8:59)

For the record those were not automatic weapons. they are the semi auto versions. @ManuelMTB

Session603 (Jun 18, 2012 at 9:03)

@kaijumps...Facts don't really matter when your bashing other peoples freedoms.

GoAnDRiDe (Jun 18, 2012 at 12:40)

Why is it such a bad thing? Guns have been around for fu**ing ever, children are given guns to fight in wars in certain parts of the world,and your complaing about a couple guys at a range shooting clay discs, get real man, a guns only as dangerous as the person holding it

wilkey (Jun 18, 2012 at 18:01)

nick moore holding a gun.... sounds pretty dangerous to me. ------MMMMERICA!!!!!

ManuelMTB (Jul 20, 2012 at 10:37)

It all makes sense now, ah? My prayers for those in Colorado.

Session603 (Jul 20, 2012 at 16:39)

way to politicize a horrible and tragic event. you should be ashamed of yourself.

ManuelMTB (Jul 21, 2012 at 9:07)

I am not politicizing anything, you retarded @session603. I said I am praying for those affected in Colorado in those apalling events and for those that, like you, keep thinking that been able to buy a semi-auto rifle in wallmart is freedom.

wilkey (Jul 21, 2012 at 10:04)

@manuelMTB. you are a dick for trying to take something this tragic and using it in an "i told you so" manner

Session603 (Jul 21, 2012 at 13:43)

I'm done talking to you. You're oblivious to facts and reality. You can keep talking shit about the US all you want.You live in Mexico.

I went to the cabelas in salt lake city last summer whilst in utah, it was the coolest shop i have ever been in, i wish england was more like the US just for the guns.

brajal (Jun 18, 2012 at 2:54)

I' ve love the "going to the gun shop to give some shots", it makes it so athentical to this sport and culture, the cowboys here love that so much... I wish you can buy uzzis and mini-rockets on corner shops here in Portugal too ...

brajal (Jun 18, 2012 at 2:57)

it elevates life...

scott-townes (Jun 18, 2012 at 8:49) (Below Threshold) show comment

^ brajal, in some countries where guns are banned they have severe problems with knife gangs. I guess that means we have to put a ban on all knives and while we are at it, why not cars? People use those as weapons all the time when they're misused, so I guess we should ban cars as well. It's called responsibility and accountability and sadly this isn't a perfect world where everyone has those two things but that doesn't mean everyone has to be restricted because of it. There's plenty of responsible gun owners out there. It's just too bad that you don't get that and will never experience the absolute joy of owning/shooting off guns.

Anyways, nick, if you liked that then you gotta visit the Cabela's HQ off of I-80 in Nebraska your next trip around... it's like a redneck paradise.

Gun segment ruined the video for me. That's not what I log on to Pinkbike to see.

Thrillride (Jun 18, 2012 at 14:46)

Yea neither do I, but in my opinion I just thought it looked like a good time plain and simple. There are much worse things being shown on cable tv these days...

mitch1616 (Jun 18, 2012 at 14:48)

fferreiraleite (Jun 18, 2012 at 18:06)

*they're.

Oh, my bad! They were so badass with those guns I could not tell the difference. But they should behave like canadians... even in redneck soil. XD

JCSmith (Jun 19, 2012 at 10:55)

Not all American's are white trash.

PeytonP (Jun 19, 2012 at 21:01)

When Anthony Messere corrects you, whether correct gramatically or not, you say, "Yes, sir. I'm sorry", and move on with your life, dammit!

Who's Anthony Messere?

I'm a buzzkill, I know.. but it seems terribly irresposible for the Cabelas employee to hand out guns to a bunch of guys that are going to point them at each other and put their fingers on the trigger. Just sayin.. The movie moved a little slow but there was definitely some great stuff in there. The gigantic house with dirtjumps in the yard is killer.

Dont get the whole gun craze, If the states lowered the legal drinking age to 18 you'd get less people shooting and more people spewing! Not that it's a whole deal better, but take your issues out on your own body not defenceless targets I say

LTmtb (Jun 18, 2012 at 15:42)

So clay discs are more valuable than humans???
