What is it with the Guns?

[Mycroft]

Seriously. As a (fortunately) non-American, the whole guns thing is a complete puzzle to me.

You'd have to read the threads for the civilian perspective.
But for us pro-gun types....
- We have a constitutional right to them.
- They're useful for self-defense, hunting, sport, & collecting.
- They feel like liberty.

 

[Quetzal]

That is a good looking question...

I like guns. I mean, I also support legislation but that doesn't mean I don't like them.

For instance, this is without question the most gorgeous firearm ever constructed by human hands.


And of Lugers, the single greatest one ever made is this one;

I would kill all of you to have this one.

Tommy Lee Jones would call that a "nickle plated sissy gun".
Here's a real gun.....

Not all non-US are puzzled by the guns. It makes sense to me that regular law abiding citizens have access to protection.

Too many cowboy films?

 

[Mindmaster]

If guns are equivalent to penis size... Er, why settle with a gun when you can have a portable sniper rifle + flashbang + flamethrower that's capable of killing a polar bear. Yep, .454 Ruger Super Redhawk is the only gun you need. Probably can also double as a club if you run out of ammo.

 

[esmith]

Ok, let's get serious here. Who want's one of those "sissy" pistols when you can have this: .50 cal Desert Eagle

1) Hunting for sport is cruel and inhumane.

2) What rights? You don't have any.

3) Guns are not toys.

4) Fair enough, I guess. But that shouldn't entitle you to one.

The Right to Bear Arms is outdated, constitutionally. The reasons for why it was put in there no longer apply to modern American society.

Self Defense from whom?

Dang it...you took the words right out of my mouth: "They feel like liberty". I guess you have to understand what real freedom means, and costs, to get it.

Seriously?? Did you even watch the news last weeK?

You think it's outdated.
I don't.

Self Defense from whom?

Bad guys.
They happen.

Now that sucker is downright U G L Y. You're welcome to it.


But if you want to see a picture of one sweet-looking gun take a look at this beauty ⤵

You can't think of any time you would need to defend yourself?

1) Hunting for sport is cruel and inhumane.

Do you count hunting for food as sport? Hunting for food is more humane than buying burgers.

1) Hunting for sport is cruel and inhumane.

2) What rights? You don't have any.[/QUOTE]
You mean to say we shouldn't have any rights. Will big bro take good care of us?

Someone got killed. The gun protection thing really worked for him.

Self Defense from whom?

Actually, it isn't.

"In District of Columbia v. Heller (2008), the Supreme Court handed down a landmark decision that held the amendment protects an individual right to possess and carry firearms."
