for the paranoid and gun freakFollow

First off most of those kids that shot themselves, are the hell spawn of those suburban soccer moms, whose mommy and daddy buy the gun cuz a black family moved in down the street and they need to feel safe.


The Singal and BEST form of gun control is in education and trainig with guns, I have been shooting since I was about 8 or 9 and learned before that that guns wee dangerous was taught by my parents that I was not to touch them and I knew they were there. Most fo the time If a kid gets hurt with one, it was hidden by the parents, DAmmit tell your kids it is there let them knoe the fucking dangers of it, Hell let them shoot it, then put it where it is accesiable but not.


Just because a dumbass kids shoots up a school we need to ban guns? Okay I play your game. The next a drunk kills a person wiht a car, Lets ban gas, that, in the end is what made it possible to commit the crime right. It is not guns that kil people, it is not people that kill people. it is the dumbass that has no clue that kills people with said gun, knife, cynder block, fire poker, broken beer bottle,fists, poison ect. ect. Lets ban all of those to, in fact any thing that can kill lets ban it. Let us go around wrapped in bubble wrap as to not kill wiht that, oh wait we could suffocate someone with bubble wrap. It is time we blame people for killing people not the devices used to kill them. It takes HUMAN action to kill, It all starts with you.

IMO, you left off sport/target shooting, Allegory.



Bow hunting looks like fun to me. Bow fishing is tons of fun(didn't catch anything, but it was fun as hell).

Though part of me still wants to try spear hunting. Not that I think it's legal anywhere, but I'd still like to try it.

I dont wanna play the quote add argue game so endure with me. First off, I am a huge fan of gun control, should there be background checks, YES. Should there be certain guns you cant own without a permit, YES. I dont know about other states as I only have my permit in Souh Carolina, but to get a hunting permit you have to take a Hunters saftey course, I got my permit at such an early age that this was not required for me, and that needs to change.


As for bow hunting, I bow hunt. I suck at it but I do it, rifels and handgund in my opinion are more humane. I would bow hunt more if I could afford a left handed bow, I enjoy the skill of it. I dont own a gun that I have no real use for, I have a .50 cal muzzel loader, 44 semi auto rifel, a 30-30, a 270, and a 5.5x6.5 swedish mowzer(sp) modified for close contact shooting (I had the barrel shortend, synthetic stock and scope rail added) I also have a .45 semi auto pistol and an array of .22's and pellet guns.


But I should be allowed to purchase and own (legally) any gun I wish, as long I can get a permit for it. If and when I have children I WILL have guns in the house, and I WILL teach them how to use it when I feel they are mature enough to do so, and before that I will tell them it is there and they are not to touch it or mess with it unless I am around.

I was not trying to push the "guns dont kill people crap" They do, but in the end it is a Human factor, same as Arson, same as Rape, same as Theft, Same as hate, same as telling your neighbor to @#%^ off. Yes, register all guns do it when they are made where said gun gets shipped to where and all that BS.


It is human nature to take what is needed, way back when we used clubs, later on we moved up to blades, rockets and gunpowder from asia, and then to guns. Hell in the next 50 years possibly lazers. Saying a firearm is reason is like saying a match is the reason or a tank of gas is the reason. We are taught in our teen years that drinking and driving kills people. Whay not add some Human control on that. The people that blame In-annimante objects for bad thing that happen make me sick, it is a cop-out, nothing less. It is easier to blame someone else than take blame.

oooooh.. see my brain saw the word spear and automatically replaced hunting with fishing.. makes a little more sense now

I am not going to start talking about my own feelings on the Gun Control matter. I've done so repeatedly in the past, and my stance is quite unpopular with the average American. But there is one thing I am going to ask. There are actually more Guns per family in Canada than there is in the United States. And a mere fraction of the violent crimes/shootings/murders compared to the US.

Something is fUcked up in your country.

Why do you people even need a gun for protection?I have never needed to protect myself with any weapon, nor did my parents, my grandparents, the rest of my family or my friends. When I open the newspapers, I've never read about burglars who murder and rape innocent citizens at night while pillaging houses.

Is the American culture that violent? Or are most gun owners paranoid because all the sensational news reports about violence? Or are there certain people that don't feel manly enough when they don't own at least two shotguns?

Booooo!!!!!

I own a Glock 33 .357 with 6 fully loaded +1 clips in a gunmat I carry around in my car. And also own a nice little .40 Baby Eagle(my baby) with 2 clips.

But I don't go around shooting ppl or leave it laying around my house for the little kiddies to pick up and play with. Even if I had to leave my pistols in my house, I have a gunlock for each and me with the only keys to them. And I hide the clips, and dismantle the pistols scatter most of the parts and carry certian parts with me if I have to leave the house with a Babysitter there. It literally only takes 5 secs to dismantle each pistol and take key parts out of them, to ensure they are not used.

And seriously, why in the hell do ppl feel the need to leave a gun with a round in the chamber laying around??? That is just plain stupidity, and I feel no sympathy for those who do such and something bad happens. Gun Safety 101: Do not leave live rounds in the chamber......

It takes literally 1 sec to **** a gun to inject a round into the chamber. With the exception of Rifles, most pistols I have handled are far to hard for a child to load a round, so why does anyone feel the need to leave a loaded gun laying around??? Or a rifle with rounds laying next to it????? Just dumb......

There is nothing wrong with keeping a gun near your bed. Chances are if somebody breaks into your house they will have at least a knife, maybe even a gun. I would rather at least stand a chance at fighting back rather then wadded up in a fetal position wondering if I am going to be killed or not. You can't count on the cops to be there in time to save you.

However mounting it on the side of your bed is just kinda tacky. I keep a pistol in a cabinet beside my pet. I don't have any kids in the house so it is easily accessible. If I had kids in the house I would probably hide it a little better, or perhaps take the clip out. The way this gun is made you have to **** it back and it takes a fair amount of power to do so. I doubt a small child would even have the knowledge nor the strength to do it really.

Just because an American keeps a gun beside their bed at night does not mean they are a redneck or dangerous. I noticed alot of people seem to look at America like its an old western or something.

Keeping a gun next to your bed means you are a paranoid person. Let's just say on the off chance that you get a burglar in your house. The chances of that happening is pretty much nonexistant, but let's just say it happens.

The burglar is after money, or something to sell for money. Not your life. You will in most cases have no need to defend yourself. As soon as the burglar hears any kind of activity, he will flee since he is after money, not a fight. If you threaten with a gun however, he will feel obliged to defend himself if he should happen to be armed. This will mean someone is getting hurt. Which wouldn't have to happen, if you just leave the damn paranoia and GI Joe complex behind.

So you somehow disagree with my comment even though I included an irrefutable supporting argument? Yes, that's a brilliant deduction there Watson.
