Pretty broad brush you're painting with. Are you saying security guards, police, hunters, ranchers, etc... are all mentally ill? Are you saying olympians (shooting and biathlon) are mentally ill? Are you saying Gern, RR, and other board members who have posted that they own firearms are mentally ill? Just trying to understand this post, which lacks any sort of specifics and leads me to the same conclusion GF reached.

All opinions are equal, no matter how ridiculous!

My question is why do you need a gun or a weapon? Still haven't gotten an answer.

Smh. Shame. I thought we were on the same page with violence.

Guns don't kill people. People kill people. Zero guns have decided to fire themselves and kill anyone.

Right now the people in the ghettos who have guns, didn't obtain them legally. If we remove all rights to buy guns, then we have zero chance to defend ourselves against the criminals who obtain them illegally.

Anything else is spin and thinking too much into.

If we all had a pistol on our hip the world would be so much better. I wouldn't get raped if someone knew I had a pistol on my hip. People wouldn't steal if they thought the consequence would be death.

Just my .02. Doubt many will agree here but I refuse to compromise my beliefs.

You realize that these three people could have had an AK-47 strapped to each of their shoulders and they still would have been killed. They were ambushed by a crazy person.

I bought mine because we had a stalker issue.

I keep the gun separate from the ammo. If I ever had to get the thing on short notice I would be screwed since I would have to find everything, load it, figure out how to fire it (since I haven't fired it in years), etc.

I might as well just get a nice baseball bat.

So you have no reason to be opposed to regulations which make it harder for lunatics to get guns?

We sure as hell aren't getting rids of guns so baby steps with regulations.

To me, those of us in democratic countries clearly do believe our opinions trump those of others, otherwise we would not vote for like-minded politicians who we hope could realize our collective opinions through actions. Otherwise, why not just vote for which ever candidate has the funniest hair, or the coolest car?

But hey - if we're lucky, maybe you people who think that forks and knives are as lethal as guns will stay home, while those of us who give a shit about the epidemic of shootings in your country can help change that through our votes. Or maybe I'm just mantally ill.

I mean there's something wrong with you when you come out of the gate calling people (me) a dumbass, but I've seen you post on the forums here and I'm not a bit surprised. Do you let the animals know ahead of time that you are hunting them for sport? Are you hard up for meat? Sounds like you're real thought out all together.

I dont like the idea of hunting. It makes me uncomfortable. I've never been, obviously, nor would I go if I were ever invited. But I had it explained to me once, what they do is after they kill the deer they take it to the butcher and get it turned into food which they go home with. This type of hunting, while I am uncomfortable with it, is not something I would advocate for abolishing. I mean I dont like it, but like mcgruff said there's a big tradition thing there and it is, in fact, a survival skill. I'm still gonna judge you for doing it, cuz I'm a whiney city liberal (not sarcastic) but at least I admit it.
So I don't think that hunting rifles ought to be completely outlawed. I think they need to be harder to get, like you gotta have a current up to date permit before you can get a rifle or some bullets and still get the background check.
But those semi automatics or whatever, the kind that takes lots of bullets and fires them all quick in succession or the kind with really big bullets, they are not necessary. They need to go. I dont like the idea of a handgun in the house for protection either. revolver or the ones on tv. I mean I get it. But. I like baseball bats better, tbh. I've got a crowbar type thing too.

Note these are all my opinions and not perfectly informed. I own them regardless of how not perfect they are.

I can respect hunting.

I have a tough time respecting owning guns as 'toys' (under the guise of 'protection').

PJ_Soul · August 2015

I have no idea how a person can go out for fun, look at a wild animal, and shoot it dead and be really pleased with themselves for murdering it, even though they don't NEED to do it for food, etc. I think it's sick.

Buying cheap chickens harvested from factory farms is worse than killing your own animal, in the wild, to fill your deep freezer.

So what are we doing here? Saying that two wrongs somehow make a right?

I'm not going to agree with you that hunting is wrong. I don't do it, but I understand it. Human beings eat meat. Fishing with a single line and hunting are the most natural ways for humans to get their meat. Not only that, the meat from the wild is much healthier than the meats we buy at the local store.

You got hung up on someone watching an animal in the wild die? I'd bet you wouldn't think much of animals in the slaughter houses. If you're a vegetarian and own no leather... I think you'd be in a position to cast stones at hunters. But if you're not, its hypocritical in my mind.

What the hell happen in Virginia??
