Anyone Proud to Not Own a Gun?

Ive never been to Canada. I really want to go Ive heard its beautiful.

 

No one needs caviar, Mercedes, or DolceGabana sunglasses...The gov't isn't here to tell us what we need.

 

Good points all around.
I applaud folks that are not carrying who feel they would use it when they get mad, car rade ect. Most likly a mature choice.
I raised childrens and had firearms since I was a teenager, yes muzzleloaders will take down a T-REX on the way to school!

If you feel you are not ready to take on the huge responsibility of owning and carrying then by all means DO NOT OWN ONE.

 

The idea of having a gun for protection but not knowing how to use/operate it is seriously funny!

 

And what does your little AR speech have to do with this thread besides trying to muddy the waters?

 

I don't follow the correlation.

 

Agreed. But these are not made directly to kill a multitude of people in a short period of time.

 

What is an assault rifle? And how does not having them stop shootings? The same guy had two semi-automatic pistols.

 

Didn't realize we have mass shootings every month in the US either.

 

Yeah Im on the fence with this one and I think it can open a whole other box of worms with what the govt thinks what we dont need and are allowed to have. No body is trying to get an RPG.

 

Where are you living in colorado? aurora?

 

FTFY

If you're going to own it, you should know how to use it and operate it safely. Every gun owner should spend some time at a range and learn their firearm, how to load, unload, clean, make sure it's clear, know what to do if there's a FTF, etc.

 

Cars kill more people on an annual basis. Should we outlaw those too? Nobody "Needs" a car when we have bikes, and segways, and feet....right?

 

Ahhh hell. Here we go.

And I was enjoying this congenial thread.

Once again, IBTL.

 

Either are AR's. You have to fully understand what makes an AR an AR to realize that what the government has defined as an 'assault weapon' is not meaningful.

 

No N. CO near Ft Collins. There's just this wacko that lives in our building. All the women in our building have reported his odd behavior to the manager. Thers nothing they can do unless he actually does something. Aparantly just staring at my wife in front of her car while shes getting ready to leave for work is ok. But one chic said her cousin is a 911 dispatcher and found soem info on the dude. Nothing major just really odd with an unknown mental condition.

Its not a ghetto apt either, pretty nice.

 

Again are cars made for the soul purpose of killing people? I understand the argument you are trying to make but we're talking apples and oranges here. I agree with the right to own a gun, just dont think we need ones that can kill massive amounts of people in a short period of time.

 

ARs are made to shoot a "multitude" of bullets in a short period of time...The killing people happens when a person using the weapon makes a choice.

There are lawful, orderly uses of ARs. So because some people can not make good decisions - everyone (who wants an AR) should be punished?? That doesn't even CLOSE to make sense.

 

lol still don't lose the "brutality" associated with guns, better watch those knives are next to go lol

 

I still don't see the correlation to caviar.
