My hands are NOT filthy, thankyou very much!

Yeah yeah... I know most women are raped by people they know and they wouldn't have a chance to whip out a gun in a typical rape scenario its still a right for us Americans to defend ourselves.

I live out in the country, I own a gun, I am responsible with it.

I am not necessarily against gun ownership, but I don't think obtaining one should be as easy process as it currently is in most American states.

Also, most responsible people I know who own a gun are not so vocal about "the right to own a gun", they just have one like they have any other work tool around their farms.

From my experience, people who are very vocal about "the right to own a gun" tend to be lunatic assholes who love their guns, are "proud" of them (whatever the fuck that means) and seem extremely eager to use them as often as possible. I am extremely weary and cautious about these kinds of people.

Also, this ad is stupid and funny.

I think people that care about guns are stupid. I've known too many people who have been hurt by guns.

When somebody wants to kill you you will most likely not have a chance to react unless you live in a permanent state of PTSD paranoia. After you kill a person you think is trying to hurt you, you will wonder if it was really necessary. Police consistently struggle with this issue.

Life isn't a fucking movie Cena, you dumbshit.

That being said, I don't care about gun regulations and you can shoot your gun to make yourself feel more important if that's really what gets you off.

That being said my dad once chased away a stalker who was trying to rape his friend, so he lived with her. That's a pretty rare scenario. It doesn't make up for the people I know who were murdered before they even knew what hit them.

My gun is for protection from bears.

Beat me to it.

And by the looks of it, he's about 12 feet tall.

Unless she's in New York City, in which case they WILL ignore rape and that 10 year old kid WILL try to rape her.

I have some gun people in my life. I can confirm to you that for these types, this kind of thing is a fantasy they live out in their heads several times a day. I couldn't tell you how many times I've been regaled by the "idealized attack" stories, wherein an anonymous assailant, who is always either unarmed, or armed in an inferior way, comes from the front and is eliminated cleanly with a gun which was readily available.

My personal favorite has always been the "Al Qaeda coming down the street with a handgun" story I heard a few times. Naturally the attacker is alone, attacking a suburban street and quickly eliminated by a now justified AR15 assault rifle at long range.

Thank you for confirming my suspicions, Raggamuffin. I am surprised that many of the fantasies involve the attacker being unarmed or armed with a set of brass knuckles, rather than it being a more even handed thing. But I suppose a fair fight would lessen chances of a kill shot first try.

Why do I think some of these people would call snipers, or even someone attacking from behind, incredibly unfair and/or unrealistic?

What's not to love about guns? Especially assault rifles. Spending money you don't have, on things you don't need, to impress people you don't know. With assault rifles it all boils down to three things.

Either

1. You're waiting for some post apocalyptic, Turner Diaries scenario, where society breaks down and you must become the 'Warlord of Walnut Street' to protect yourself and your property against ravaging minority rape squads (the rape squads are all themed though, like in the Warriors).


2. You're a member of a clown themed minority rape squad waiting for society to break down and you can rape and murder whitey with impunity.

or

3. You live in Central Florida.

To my eternal shame, I live in central florida. I hate guns because I think if I'm around one long enough, the chances of me committing suicide go to about 5% per day (not cumulative, but still don't like those odds), but there are enough crazy critters at night and enough base and/or meth heads that I wonder sometimes if I need one. Then again, I look like Bigfoot so they're probably more afraid of me just as I am.

Guns are awesome. What is it with people hating on guns and being a wuss?

Also my gun helps make up for the fact that I watch MLP.

Better to be permanently disabled than RAPED!

I have to agree with you. The gun enthusiasts who enjoy dark fantasies about eagerly anticipating the perfect attack scenario are a very small percentage of overall gun owners. Target shooting is a legitimate hobby and sport.

Not owning a gun myself, can anyone tell me roughly what percentage of target shooting enthusiasts do not own guns themselves and just rent them at the range? It seems that if all you want to do is target shoot, you do not need to own a gun at all.

Rental guns are usually clapped-out pieces of shit, and you are required to use the range's ammo which is often 2-3 times the actual retail cost of equivalent ammo elsewhere so it isn't a real cost-effective option. These only exist for the most casual shooters to have a thrill every few years, or for people to try out specific guns before they buy them.

There are many, many types of competitive shooting but almost all of them require extensive practice and fine-tuning with the same gun(s). Personal ownership is an absolute necessity and is totally safe when done responsibly. Modern guns are completely incapable of hurting anybody without gross misuse.

I love shooting but I fucking hate the morons it attracts, both pro and anti-gun. Luckily even at the lowest levels of competitive shooting politics don't really come up ever. If you stay away from gun shows and most gun forums you can avoid a lot of the really shitty gun enthusiasts.

Personally speaking, I don't fear guns, or hate guns. I just think the standard conservative jerk-off fantasies about guns are bigger piles of horseshit than claims from the same people attempting to link breast cancer with abortions.

Example: Arizona has some of the laxest gun and concealed carry laws in the nation, so where was the fabled responsible gun-toting citizen strolling by to keep the peace and save the day when Gabrielle Giffords was shot? And that's only the most recent massacre to come to mind. And women aren't going to proudly gun down their attempted rapists, because their rapists are their boyfriends or platonic friends or their filthy uncle.

The gun lobby sells fairy tales.
