What kinds of guns do you have?

I don't own any guns, in fact I've never fired one but knowing some of you are gun enthusiasts do you wish to share? Better yet do you have pictures? Some might question why I've started such a thread, simple it's fascinating.

DonDiego prefers the simplicity and reliability of a revolver.

I don't own one either - but I respect the constitutional right to own one and understand why law abiding citizens in certain neighborhoods do so.
I have a 1928 Fox Sterlingworth Double Barrel 12 Gauge that has never been fired. I inherited it from my Grandfather. I also have a 38 Revolver my dad gave me when he decided he probably couldn't shoot or threaten anyone anyway. It's never been fired either. I don't even know what brand it is. I just unloaded it and locked it in my safe and it's been there ever since.

My husband has some guns. Some rifles, at least one handgun, etc. I don't know details of them; I don't even know how many. He does not hunt or fish. I think it is a combination of fascination (he knows quite a lot about old and new guns) and protection.
I own several firearms however have not shot any of them in years. I was in the Army and like the historical aspects of firearms used in the military.
My most recent acquisition was an 1887 Martini-Henry (Zulu War era) long lever rifle. I also haven't fired this one and I'm not sure if I could find ammo for it.

I will probably divide everything up between my two sons.

3 guns and have not fired one.
Teddy Cruz has a machine gun! Or he thinks he does. You would think a Second Amendment fanatic like Ted would know the difference....

I have about a dozen long guns and handguns, both old and new. Only practice with the handguns regularly (one of the shotguns is loaded and ready to go...still waiting for that drone).

The cooking' bacon video seems to indicate semi-automatic fire. The video is heavily edited so poor old DonDiego cannot determine if the rifle is capable of fully-automatic function or not.
If it concerns melon head, a telephone call or e-mail to the "Central Iowa Impact" gun range in Boone, Iowa would resolve the matter.
Even DonDiego's local gun-range offers fully-automatic rentals, . . . and is thrilled to sell the ammunition required.

Nonetheless, there is evidence that Senator Cruz "knows the difference": Shield Tactical Shooting Sports Complex - July 2014,
