No guns, I would like to have some historical antique/replica ones, but even ancient black powder single shot stuff requires a bunch of dumb regulatory hoops to jump through here. So maybe in the future. I do archery and thats completely unregulated even though my bow is likely a more lethal weapon unless your wearing plate armor.

I don't own a gun because I'm poor (and living in California).

I'd like to own a gun and shoot at ranges. It's loving expensive to rent guns in Los Angeles. Thinking about getting some sort of pistol.

I have an old rear end ruger 22 for shooting farm pests on my dads land. People think I'm a crazy murderer in waiting when they find out because this is Ireland and the news calls everything from a pistol to a sawn off shotgun an ak47.

If I ever need to use a gun I know how to use one, but using a gun for self defense is absolute crazy hosed insane. In the absurd hypothetical situation that I would ever need to use a gun it would be a ridiculous surreal odyssey a la hollywood where I'm hawkins in navy seals. Billy nooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!

I am also a homeowner and I also have insurance but you are not going to be happy with yourself if you break into my house for any reason other than "I live here and locked myself out". And it is entirely possible I won't be happy with myself after we're done stomping each other. I don't pay for insurance so some rear end in a top hat can stroll into my house and steal my poo poo and possibly hurt my dogs. I do it in case I'm out and some rear end in a top hat does that and I can't be there to fend him or her off.

I do own guns but they're for hunting big dumb animals and scaring off big scary animals that want to eat my livestock. Not shooting people. Unless that person comes in with a gun in which case I guess we're gonna throw down.

Before someone asks: Yes I have been threatened with a gun before. Yes I have been shot before. Yes it sucked. Thankfully it grazed rather than entering and exiting. Responsible gun ownership is a good thing. The US needs better gun control. It also needs better firearm education overall.

Someone pulled a gun on my dad in the parking lot of a restaurant after he'd just gotten paid. I was a little kid and in the car with him because we were going to go get a milkshake since he'd gotten a nice big bonus check. He shot the guy dead because he had a gun in his face. Police report confirmed the assailant's gun was loaded. It's not crazy to defend yourself (or your family) against someone who wants to hurt you.

its good that it definitely left no lasting psychological residue and you certainly are not fetishizing home invasion as a chance to "throw down" not at all. I too worry about the endless hordes of miscreants beyond my lawn and speak like I live in a fort besieged.

Sounds like a retarded motherfucker who didn't know what the hell he was doing. What do you think they had on their tombstones.

The man smashes in Shaquin's door. A wide shadow lays quietly upon the couch. The man stalks toward him, nervous, gun at the ready. If the landwhale is awake, he must euthanize it to protect his identity.

"Nooooo. Take whatever you want," moans Shaquin, dashing his cheetoh stained hand across his eyes. "I didn't see anything!"

The thief's will wavers before he chucks the gun and tears his clothes off. He pitches himself across Shaquin's bulbous form, crying, "Thank GOD you understand my tortured life! Kiss me, lover!"

Shaquin gasps and shoves the man away, sitting up and staring at him in horror, "Excuse you? loving trigger warning. I'm an atheist."

Well, Fluffy Bunnies......I meant that really specifically for me. In reality people are terrible shots and I would rather run than be ever tempted to be some bullshit quickdraw wannabe vigilante nerd sheriff gunning someone down because I Had A Legal Firearm On My Person. Pfft. Guns are for pussies. Are you really implying this guy would have murdered your father and you, a child with milkshakes, had your dad not shot the guy? If a guy has a gun in my face, there are other options for a grown rear end man who knows how to defend himself than killing the person with a little gadget that fires little pieces of metal thousands of feet per second or whatever the gently caress. The point is guns aren't good. Really, if you wanna kill a deer, catch up to it and beat it to death with a club ya loving barbarian...and I will gladly pay some dough for the meat. Mmmmmm....deer meat....

I feel this is asinine to include but I'm gonna ask anyway. The Gun was loaded, but was it cocked and was the safety off? Life's not a loving video game or movie. Cute story about the milkshake mugging though.

The guy had killed two other people in fairly recent muggings (who HAD given him the cash) so yeah high probability he was going to kill us too. I know the safety was off but I honestly don't remember if it was cocked or not.

That's a high quality avatar right there.
I own a three handguns and a rifle. I go to the range once every few months. Not a fanatic, but I like my guns.

On the other hand, I think handguns should probably be illegal. They're responsible for the vast majority of gun deaths, and the only service they really provide is the ability to be concealed. That's something that the average person does not need to be able to do with a deadly weapon.
