| I'm an American and do not own a real gun. I have a paintball gun, but that's different. My mom was always anti-guns though, and she is Norwegian. So is my dad, so I'm first generation American. That has influenced my view. I have fired guns before, but have no desire to own one. Most times you shoot the wrong person anyway. I'm not willing to take that chance. I do have a marine knife though, in case someone tries to break in. Don't know if I would ever actually use it, but I got it for free. It's badass. KABAR rocks! |

I second that.
I own several. I target shoot sometimes, but mostly have them just because I like them. I keep them loaded and wouldn't hesitate to use them if necessary.
If you have never fired a gun before you don't know what you are missing. Its just plain fun. |

i own a 12 guage pump shotgun that i use for hunting....it's still at my parents house though....i gotta remember to bring it with me next time i go.....guns are fine as long as you know how to use them and are safe and responsible. i go clay pigeon shooting sometimes, and its very fun...i wouldn't buy a handgun though....i don't really think of it as a means for defense, unless like previously mentioned, you are camping in bear country :nervous:
we (americans) don't shoot our guns in the air when we get excited though.... |

Except in Tennessee across the Mississippi during 4th of July, but those are a bunch of idiots. My old roommate had an AK. It was pretty tight. You see fire coming out of the barrel when you shoot it. |

| i dun own a gun, but i would love to. i have always wanted to learn how to shoot at firing ranges and and stuff. it just seems like a lot of fun...and well, i jus like guns okay? i wudn't go hunting cuz i dun find joy in killing animals...but it is prolly not recommended that i own a gun as i have anger management problems and self-destructive tendencies. *shrug |

| NO, I don't want to own a gun and even if I did, my country's gun laws are a bit strict at times. It's hard to get a carry permit at times and to legally be able to carry a gun 24.7 is virtually impossible to obtain. |

I have a Remington Model 700LH 30-06, a Remington Model 870LH 12ga. shotgun, and Franchi 2500 Over Under 12ga Trap Shotgun, MHK Side by Side 12ga. shotgun. All of which are for hunting big game, upland and waterfowl, and the trap gun for clay target sports which I shot on the University Team several years back. I miss shooting at Nationals :(
I only have desire to get a sporting clays / waterfowl semi-auto...such as a Eureka.
It's simply part of the way of life around these parts to own hunting rifles and shotguns :) |

I don't i honestly do not see why i would ever need one in my home.
Maybe if i took up hunting, but then i'd rather borrow one.
Never fired a gun, although i would like to try under controlled circumstances as i think it would scare the out of me.
Would you, and why?
Are americans more likely to have one? As this is my (mis)conception.
(and yes thought about this from the 'do you own thread') |
Already got two 12 gauge semiautos, a 30.06 and a 9mm handgun. Enough for home protection and sport... although an RPG could come in handy if I went elephant hunting or something. No misconception; believe Americans are most heavily armed in the world. Probably why nobody would dare attack us, particularly the South.

| shooting ranges are fun, especially ones wehre you can bring your own stuff to shoot up. i think i'd make a pretty good sniper hehe...(not too into handguns though, see them more as offensive weapons rather than defensive weapons or recreational gear.) |

| guns don't kill people. bullets do. I thinks guns are good. Hell if some bastard crosses the line i call my home... BLAM. that'll teach him a lesson not to steal. I just say "He's coming right for me!" right before i fire. Yeah they can do some crappy things, but ugh... what doesn't. As long as they do background checks i thinks it's all good. 4th Admendment rocks! |
