Does the Swedish language have the "ing" verb form (gerund)??

I know that German doesn't and that took some getting used to at first.

We have the gerundium verb form, but we don't use it the way you do. The Germans actually have it too, but they also don't use it like in English. In Swedish the suffix would be "-ande" or "-ende", in German it'd be "-end". Example how it is used: "Han kom springande"="He came running". But if I'd translate a "real" English gerundium form, it would be a present form in Swedish. Example: "I'm sitting here"="Jag sitter här". I could say "Jag är sittandes här" with an "s" on the end, but that would sound totally ridiculous except in poems or very archaic texts.

One unique Scandinavian verb form, that we sometimes use similar to the gerundium form, is the passive reflexive form: "They are fighting"="De slÃ¥ss". The "s" on the end (in this case double-s, because of the pronounciation) is not the third person singular form, that it would be in English, but a special form in all tempora in modus indicative ("real" form of the verb), like in the example above, with "sittandes". So old Swedish had a combination of gerundium and passive reflexive, but no one speaks that way anymore, except in some distant villages in northern Dalarna or so.  ;)

So when are you going to move to Texas and start a gun collection?

I think you'd fit in a 12" or at least a 16" firework mortar
You win this thread because that's most unsettling to even think about.

And what about the real kind?
Where you have some cheap
little air gun, and shoot targets
We have them at fairs, and I
get a kick out of them (though
the barrels are always crooked)

When I get a Green Card.  ;) Another possibility is to get an illegal gun here in Cowardistan. I've gotten amphetamine illegally, when I couldn't get it legally for my concentration problems. A gun is harder to get illegally but not impossible. I've only been among criminals too little.

We have air guns at fairs too. There are shooting ranges for real guns as well, but unlike the US, you can't just get in there and pay for shooting some rounds, maybe except for rifles. I know that it's not possible for pistols, but it used to be possible to practice traget shooting on shooting ranges for rifles, when I was a kid.

Wow, no pistol shooting at all? Not that that would bother me, but it seems harsh.
I only go shooting when I'm at my mom's. Just go out back with a .30-06
or .222. Could probably bag a deer without a license any time I wanted too.
Totally illegal, but no one would give a shit.

You have to be a member of a shooting club to be allowed to fire a pistol. You could at most have a friend who is a member of one and shoot there with him, but there are no pistol shooting ranges that are open to the public.

From this year, it's illegal to fire a single shot on your own ground without a special permission in this sick country. One very well known (in Sweden) sports shooter did and another sports shooter reported it to the cops. That's the thing I hate with the Swedish mentality; obedience ad absurdum to any law, how crazy it might be. ::)

I have an air rifle that's pretty good. But I lack the feeling of power that my grandfather's shot gun had, for instance.
