The only pro gun argument that holds any weight with me is that you need them in case the government tries some Hitler shit. Other than that, they do way more harm than good.

Dude, you needs guns for self defense in case of a home invasion, in case you get mugged in a sketchy part of town, to hunt, to go to the fucking shooting range, etc.

Guns aren't the problem. The problems are current regulations, corruption, laws and penalties that aren't harsh enough on gun runners and other legit criminals, and regulations.

It shouldn't be so easy for your average dumbass to get a gun. Parents should be more responsible when they have guns and use a fucking lock box.

It's an issue that's not going to go away, unfortunately, without human nature changing radically, or some much tougher regulations. I don't like the government meddling in lots of things, but guns are fucking dangerous and responsible government interference is okay in my book.

With a child living in my home, the gun would need to be in a lock box. If an armed robber came while we were sleeping, I doubt I would have time to get the gun out and do anything. 99% of the time, they are there to rob, not to kill. I will take my chances.

The shit about being mugged in a sketchy part of town is really stupid. Why would I be there in the first place, and am I supposed to walk around with a gun at my hip? I've been hunting a few times, but it's really not essential. If you can afford guns and ammo, you can afford to buy meat. I've also been cross bow hunting. There are alternatives if you really like the "sport."

I shot guns all the time when I went to college in Montana. How my buddies acquired these guns is how I know how fucking easy it is to get a gun without buying one from a regulated store. We would go in the woods, set up empty bottles, and have shooting competitions. It was a lot fun, I've shot tons of guns, AR-15's, AK's, Mosberg's, 1911's, 45's. I don't hate guns and I don't want them banned. They do more harm than good though. That's the only point I was making.

Strongly disagree with this entire paragraph, except for the gun needing to be in the lock box, or well hidden, with a child around. If you have even a shit home security system, you will have plenty of time to get your shit together and find a gun. And if you have a kid sleeping in your house, you aren't taking any chances. You are going to try and suppress the home invader, and kill him at the first sign of a violent threat .

Responsible gun owners have stopped numerous crimes over the years; particularly armed robberies at banks, gas stations, things of that nature. You never know when some sketchy shit is going to go down in 98% of places on the Earth. If you are strapped, you can respond if shit goes south. Don't get caught bringing fists to a gun fight. I'm not advocating walking around with a .45 on you belt, but keeping it in the glove box isn't the worst idea...

The middle of nowhere Montana is a lot different than densely populated urban areas that draw criminals and homeless in far greater numbers.

Bow hunting is a lot more fun, a lot more difficult, and a lot more intense than rifle hunting. They are both legitimate activities that are useful in controlling animal populations.

That sounds like a lot of fun, damn. Love doing stuff like that, though never with assault rifles.

Only justification PGOS needs.

Killing a bear is pretty cool, but it's more impressive if you do it without a fucking military grade sniper. And without a guide.

Swing your sword or gtfo Leach!

Fair notice - I am in the army of Obots that will be carrying your asses to the re-educamation camps when the day comes.



Australia did a good thing when they changed their firearms laws. They made their country safer, and gave the lie to people who said it can't be done, or that it unfairly impinges on people's freedom. And if you think that the 2d Amendment is so the people can rise up against the man -

A bunch of goodolboys with rifles and pistols will not stop the US Army and US Marine Corps if it ever came to that. And if it did come to that, the country would be falling apart at the seams anyway and the military would probably be choosing one side or the other anyway.

Anyway - I know almost everyone of you disagrees with me, and I don't really give a shit, and I'm not going to CollegeDoog this thing up. So mock away.

Disagree,
