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') |

no
the only gun I would want would be a pistol... It'd end up in my car... I have road rage...

| Don't want or need guns. Only cause trouble. And it is no misconception that Americans are more likely to have one. But there are other parts of the world where they are more likely to be had. |

There are 7 guns owned for every man woman and child in Alaska :D
they still think of themselves as first defense against Russia.
Everyone thinks of guns as weapons, but the definition of a gun is a tube that releases a projectile. The purpose of such a thing isnt in the definition for a reason. Its because you can do whatever you want with it.
Last week I went up target shooting with my friends. We do it a lot. Its 30 bucks for 2 hours of awesome fun.
I have no expectations of ever having to use my guns for self defense. I live in a really nice area.
This thread is gonna be a "but people die all the time from them, America has a lot of gun related deaths, I dont see the point, they are useless, bla bla bla"
Theyre fun.
Also for you inactive people: when you camp with bears you better be damn well prepared to defend yourself or make some noise to scare them. And animals. Id rather have them dead than me if they attack and im not going to stop camping because I might have to kill an animal (been doing this for 10 years, only fired once and it scared it off).
Its an extremely small portion of the population that uses them for killing people exclusively. Robbers, thieves, home-owners defending their stuff.
If you arent an American, you wouldnt understand. Americas minute-man is a very deep part of our culture.
so yeah, just because you "dont feel like owning one" doesnt mean a lot of other people feel the same.
Every time Ive taken friends whove never shot a gun shooting, they love it. Be safe, be safe, be safe and everything turns out fine.
Im trying to cover everything in this post cuz im gonna get pissed reading ignorant reponses :p |

i dunno how many guns are in other countries,...so i think ya gotta google some stats.
guns have their purpose, some feel safer with one, some just love to shoot, some love to hunt.
I have a few buddies that have a few guns and rifles and all they do is go to the range and shoot off some rounds. I highly doubt the majority of you would ever understand why they do, but hell, they love it. |
