Since helicopters are more expensive, Gao Xi can only dream for the time being, after all, there are still a lot of things to cost on the ranch, and he must save now, and only buy some things that are cheaper and must be had.

Take guns, for example!

Although Dong Chen said that guns are mainly used against cougars, wolves and other beasts, Gao Xi is not stupid, he also watches the news and knows that a shocking incident happened in the United States not long ago.

At the behest of the U.S. Federal Bureau of Land Management and the U.S. National Park Service, Nevada used nine helicopters and 200 police and snipers to violently clear the "last farmer" Cliven Bundy, intending to confiscate a total of more than 900 cattle from his grazing, of which 277 have been seized so far.

The farmer refused to buy a livestock license from 1990, claiming that the 600,000 acres of farm had been inherited since 1870. The federal government said Bundy owed 1.1 million and disputed it for 20 years, and the other day carried out a force clearance after assessing that his cattle had affected the lives of desert turtles.

Cliven Bundy has the support of other local farmers. Taking advantage of the lack of manpower of the police to fully control the vast area, they rode like cowboys to recover 30 cattle from the herd of cattle in police captivity. As the standoff dragged on, Nevada politicians spoke out in support of Bundy in protest against the actions of the U.S. federal government, a move that was subsequently supported by Republican politicians. Demonstrators, armed with weapons and flags, gathered to surround the US police camp with massive public attention and support.

Finally, on April 12, the U.S. federal government relented. The sheriff who commanded the clearance shook hands with the rancher, Cliven Bundy, and the clearance and seizure operation was terminated, and the police returned the confiscated cattle to Clayfin Bundy. It is estimated that the operation has cost 3 million.

Although it cost a lot of money in the end, after all, the American rancher defended his power.

If there is no gun, then it is estimated that he can only be shot and killed in vain, this is the reality, so Gao Xi still has a very strong ** for guns, he wants to buy two pistols, two rifles, after all, as a man, he still has a strong interest and curiosity in guns, but China bans guns, and he has no money to buy them, so he just played during military training, because there were acquaintances at the time, so he also played a lot of bullets, and the marksmanship is not very good, but he is familiar with guns, I heard that he bought a gun in the United States, Especially when buying a rifle, you must be familiar with this firearm, otherwise others will not sell it, and I don't know if it's true, but Gao Xi doesn't have to care about it.

I thought that the place where guns were sold was so serious and solemn, how depressing, and how nervous it was, but when I really arrived at this place, I found out that there were guns sold in the shopping malls near here, not only selling guns, but also buying other things.

"Aren't you afraid of being robbed here?"

"Nonsense, it's not a BB gun that he sells!" Dong Chen shook his head, and then took the lead in walking into the store.

There is a special place in the store that sells guns, and there are all kinds of guns that have only been seen in TV series and movies before, what **, what AK47, etc., there is almost everything, Gao Xi's saliva is about to flow out, even if he sees a beautiful woman, he is not so excited.

There were also some guns hanging on the walls, and there were actually those sniper rifles with great power from a long distance.

"That seems to be called Barrett, right?" Gossey asked.

"Why do you ask that, a rancher, don't worry about that thing, it's better to buy a more practical rifle and pistol." Dong Chen said in his heart, no matter what it is called, the power is too great, once the shot passes, who knows what will happen, especially he is clear, Gao Xi is just a gun practiced for a period of time during military training, and he has never touched a gun since then, let alone him, it is estimated that the store owner will not dare to sell him those things easily.

There were no customers in the store at this time, and the owner sat there watching TV, and from time to time he let out a hearty laugh, Gao Xi took a look, it was actually "Friends" that he liked very much, and the film was really funny.

Seeing Gao Xi and Dong Chen coming in, the boss immediately stood up, rubbed his hands and smiled, "Two gentlemen, do you need any help?"

"We run a ranch nearby, we need two pistols and two rifles to defend ourselves, the boss will introduce you, you have too many things here, I am dazzled." Gao Xi originally planned to choose it himself, but when he saw the number and variety, he wilted directly, so he honestly let the other party introduce it, otherwise, he would have to choose the head of the person.

Well, it's the feeling that a woman enters a jewelry store, likes everything she sees, and then doesn't know what to buy in the end.

"Sir, are you a permanent resident of the United States?" The boss asked.

"Can't you buy a gun if you're not a permanent resident?"

"Strictly speaking, but there are special circumstances."

"Forget it, needless to say, I'm a U.S. citizen, so I'm okay now, right?" Gossi wasn't interested in asking about so many boring things, anyway, his purpose was just to buy a gun, as long as he got his hands on it, it would be fine.

"Of course, but have you ever used a gun before?"

"Used." Gao Xi spoke, looked at the AK47 that seemed to have just been disassembled on the counter, and then directly started to assemble it again, which was learned during the period of military training, and fortunately he had acquaintances, otherwise, if you want to touch the gun, you only have to practice target shooting, it is completely out of shape, three bullets per person, it doesn't matter if you hit it or not, it will be over directly, it is simply a pit man.

"Okay, it looks like Mr. is still familiar with firearms, so please fill out a form and then we can talk about guns."

Gao Xi took the form and looked at it, there were quite a lot of questions, in addition to personal information, he had to answer a lot of questions, such as whether he was suspected of committing a crime in court, whether he had been in prison, whether he had a history of mental illness, whether he was taking drugs, whether he had abused his spouse or children, whether he had been fired from the army, and so on. By law, shops cannot sell guns to people with these problems. Moreover, the buyer must sign a pledge that the gun is for his own use and cannot be resold for profit, otherwise he faces a maximum penalty of 10 years or a fine of $250,000.

If it's a foreigner, it's even more troublesome. In addition to not being able to buy a pistol, the purchase of a rifle must also be guaranteed to be used only for hunting, so you must first apply for a $10 hunting license.

"Now you understand the benefits of me letting you become a U.S. citizen, right? It's not that I'm asking you to be an American, it's that a lot of things are up to you. ”

After filling out the form, the boss took the form and ID that Gao Xi had filled out, and called the FBI on the spot to report Gao Xi's information, because anyone who buys a gun must be reviewed by the FBI. It was Saturday, and it was already past 6 o'clock in the afternoon, which had to surprise Gao Xi that there were still people at work in the FBI at this time.

It seems that Americans have to work overtime sometimes.

"How long will this take?" Gao Xi was afraid that he would wait too long, so he asked.

"Except for a very few people who come here to buy guns, almost all of them can pass the FBI's review, most of them can do it in two or three minutes, but some have to review it for several days. Well, Mr. is a U.S. citizen, which is relatively simple and can be done in a few minutes, but if you are a foreigner, it may take several days to wait, which is more troublesome. After only a few minutes, the boss got things done, and then said to Gosse with a smile: "Now you can choose a firearm, sir, if you want a pistol, I highly recommend four, this first is not small, it is Israel's **, this gun is very powerful, it is possible to kill a bison with one shot, the other is Glock 18, with a load of thirty-three rounds, which is the largest among all pistols, and one is the TT33 Tokarev 7.62 mm pistol, which has the longest range." ”
