An interesting article that should stimulate some good discussion.

As to the question...I am a no here. :yes:

 

[cuznjohn]

only have 3, so no i am not one

 

[vided]

I refuse to answer on the grounds it may incriminate me. :thumbup:

 

[mxz600]

Yes I am, are you?

But I'm not scared and I don't own them for self protection per say. It may be a part of it but I just like things that go bang, or boom.

I used to hunt a lot but gave it all up over the years, slowly lost interest. But I still enjoy the crap out of shooting up targets. Especially exploding targets, best of both worlds, you get the bang and the boom.

And then there are the hunting knives, various legal explosives (know a guy that has a license to make fireworks), bows and arrows. I also own an old set of lawn darts with the metal tip, fun stuff.

As you can see I like to have a little fun. I do have one rule though if you come to play with me. No alcohol while playing!!nojoke

Personal protection


Against the government. < If that makes this a political post then ban my doggie butt.

I need a couple more in order to qualify as "super".

While many gun owners are staunch in their defense of what they consider their Second Amendment right to protect themselves, some experts say that the fear that motivates many to accumulate weapons can be dangerous in its own right.

“If we hope to reduce firearm suicide, if we hope to reduce the other potential dangers of guns, my gut is, we have to speak to that fear,” Harvard School of Public Health firearms researcher Deborah Azrael, the lead author of the study, told The Guardian.

So concern for 2nd Amendment rights is a pointer for firearm suicide?

I'll have to add that some of my guns I bought simply because I think they look cool and/or sound cool.


Nothing beats the sound and feel of a Russian Mosin going off in your hands, although I will say I haven't had the pleasure of shooting a 50 cal yet with a $10-$15 round in it...


I think a big part of this is "pleasure sport", everyone has their thing, let me have mine. I love the sound and feel of it. Same with my cars, this is no different.

Just because some punk uses it to rob a store is no reason to over control it....I can rob a store in the middle of the night with my car just as well...are we going to try and ban cars too?



Sorry, started to get on a roll there. Bad Snoopy. :roflblack:

[Chupaca]

I was....

but do to some unfortunate luck while living in Texas....they were all stolen and I now don't qualify any longer. I am covered but not like before....:banghead:

I'm one of them, have a few more than 3, no particular reason, not esquizofrenic or fanatic, or scared , i just like them, big brother knows i got them since i had to fill out the legal forms.
If they want them you know they will get them so no sense to worry about it:thumbup:

Fear does not drive my firearms ownership; any more than it drives my wearing of safety gear on my Spyder, or having the best possible health insurance that I can afford... nojoke
I grew up in a family with a rich hunting heritage...
I actually own the muzzleloader that my Great-Great-Great-Great Grandfather William used to feed his family.
(He emigrated here in 1795...)
So if I fall into their latest categorization: I say, "So what?"
