the gun store should theoretically be the safest place on earth. nobody goes there except people who are proficient with the basics of how to safely use a gun.
or does this prove my point that there should be basic gun control steps taken?

You're implying that it's inevitable that all gun owners are going to kill someone. That's pretty nearsighted and ridiculous.

Fuck your guns, shove them up your ass and pull the trigger. You are too fucking stupid to have kids, and damn sure not responsible for a deadl weapon. I hope you fry and rot in hell. ENOUGH IS FUCKING ENOUGH.

So I'm going to go fire some guns at a range in a couple of weeks. I figure I should know what it's like if I'm going to debate against being a gun nut. I am not into it - i feel no curiosity about what it is like to use a deadly weapon at all to be honest - but a friend convinced me I ought to try it if I feel strongly about the subject and want to speak against gun culture. I dunno... it'll be weird and TBH i feel a little guilty fornsome reason. Like I'm helping to propagate the culture. Strange. But it'll be educational, definitely. Know thine enemy, so to speak.

It's like republicans caught in gay affairs. They are also just knowing the enemy.

It's nothing special. People who love it are nuts. They have to be having Rambo fantasies or something, otherwise I don't see what the big deal is at all. I grew up shooting (Boy Scouts and with family) and it is so overrated it isn't funny.

Don't be surprised if you really enjoy yourself. I have taken many people shooting for their first time before and now they have 10x more guns than me. If you want to take it seriously and are looking to shoot well, try to relax and control your breathing. Its hard because you will be amped up, trust me on that one. Match up your back sights w/ your front sight and don't jump on the trigger. Pull the trigger with a smooth consistent trigger pull. Now of course none of that crap matters if you get yourself into a gun fight….

Gun store incident demonstrates many gun owners mentality.
"Come and Take it"
"Don't tread on Me".
"I Don't call 911 call smith and Wesson".
As to shooting guns, yeah gives many sense of empowerment. Instant gun muscles. Unfortunately it's these exact folks that shouldn't have guns. Oh well the foolishness will continue.
Please elaborate for us, I'd like to know what you are thinking.
They were saying how ridiculous it was to kill someone over money.......especially such a small amount. Too many people who shouldn't own guns do. There should be more education and training mandates for new gun owners.
Things along that line.

I have no idea what that is supposed to mean, lol. Sounds like you are saying perhaps I'm in the closet about being a gun nut, lol.

If you cared enough to research, (I don't) I'm sure you would find that shootings at gun stores are incredibly rare.

Legal concealed carry is entirely different than gun ownership. People who legally carry concealed pistols are among the most law-abiding citizens in this country. More so than law enforcement officers, actually.

I will be very surprised if I enjoy myself. I don't like loud banging noises, abrupt physical sensations, or being around deadly weapons or in a building filled with people who do enjoy deadly weapons, lol. But even if I do enjoy myself, I am against the principle behind recreational gun use, fun or not, so I'm definitely not going to be making a habit of it either way. But thank you for the tips, since nothing is worth doing unless you're going to try and do it right. If I'm going to try it, I obviously want to hit the target, and while I won't be amped up, I will be nervous and uncomfortable, so basically the same thing physically.

I read about this story on a gun forum earlier. You know what's interesting? They were all saying the same things as the posters here.
Specific to this incident? Or somewhat more generally?
Beginning from stand point of where we are in agreement is better than opposition isnt it?
Both. A lot of gun owners agree with much of what is greenly the outcome of our discussions about guns on AMT.
Changes should be made. Too many people who shouldn't have guns do.
Well that IS heartening. It will take more voices from that "side" of this to speak often and loudly. And perhaps force the chief advocate to modify its position somewhat, because to be honest it really seems as if the NRA no longer represent its membership but rather the manufacturers. In the end its the manufacturers that are benefiting from this debate.

If you look at gun owners as "thine enemy" why even bother going? Gun ownership is a personal decision and if shooting makes you feel uneasy or guilty, don't do it. It's certainly not for everyone.

But its better to learn first hand what some of the appeal may be to form a more knowledgable opinion , isnt it?

Did you miss the "so to speak" part in my post? It was a figurative comment. I.e. if one is going to debate something they should know everything they reasonably can about the subject. What you are saying is, to me, the equivalent of burying your head in the sand if you don't like something. I am not that kind of person.

This doesn't reflect my experiences at all. I don't have "Rambo fantasies" and I don't shoot for fun. I go to the range to develop and maintain proficiency with a tool that may one day be needed in an emergency. That's it.
