Why More Americans Want to Own Guns

[Aegon]

Older guns as collectors items? Awesome in my book, especially because I'm a history buff. Those guns sit on a shelf. Doesn't negate my argument though, since those guns were once manufactured as weapons for the purpose of shooting. When they're bought and sold now they are meant to sit there and be appreciated...because using them like you'd use a modern gun would be a bad idea in most cases. As for the rest of your argument...you're literally supporting what I said. "Hunting" (shooting animals), "target practice" (shooting things), "stopping an attacker" (shooting people). Nothing that you've said negates my argument that guns are first and foremost deadly weapons. I never used this as a way of saying guns are bad and we should ban them. I used it to show that you can't compare things that are made to be weapons to things that are not made to be weapons.


Again, I was arguing against comparing guns to cars. Nothing more.

Again, you are wrong! Guns actually put food on some people's tables, and that means sustenance for many Americans of whom you've made it plain you have not considered. Muscle cars do none of that which a vehicle of more civil temperament cannot do just as well. Therefore, if you you are going to go about confiscating peoples' target pistols or hunting rifles which you decide are "unnecessary weapons", then you have to confiscate all the muscle cars first.

Your reasoning has never been anything other than shallow, and your tone always disrespectful around here, so I could really give a fuck what you think. Being the asshole that you are, you came in here and made the blunt argument that "guns are for shooting", with the obvious implication that they are made for killing people. You clearly don't know jack about what gun owners do with their guns. You've only made it clear that you've never considered whether a '22 would be useful for hunting game birds, why a shotgun is actually a practical option for this, nor the interest in target shooting, for which handguns offer much greater challenge. You never touched a gun in your life, did you? You can take your ignorant, arrogant attitude and go fuck yourself with it!

Wow. WOW. YOU'RE SO MISSING THE POINT! Also, when the fuck was I rude in this exchange? You're the one who started off by calling me ignorant and now you're going on this vulgar tirade. 

LET'S MAKE IT CLEAR. MAYBE IF I TYPE IN CAPS YOU WILL GET IT? I AM NOT SAYING GUNS ARE BAD BECAUSE THEY'RE USED TO SHOOT. I AM SAYING THAT THEY ARE MADE TO BE USED AS WEAPONS, TO SHOOT THINGS FOR FUCK'S SAKE I'M NOT ARGUING IN FAVOR OF CONFISCATING ANYTHING. And you know what, nothing you've said, through all your cuss words, has negated that! People get food on their table BY FUCKING SHOOTING THINGS. THAT'S ALL I'M SAYING. I HAVE YET TO TAKE A PROPER STANCE IN THIS DEBATE. I shared a funny video on the subject and then I said, simply, that guns should not be compared to cars in this way. Because guns are made FOR SHOOTING THINGS and cars are made for DRIVING. I'm not even talking about muscle cars for fuck's sake. Stop putting fucking words in my mouth because you don't like me

The primary purpose of a gun is to be used as a weapon. To shoot things. Things include, but are not limited to: targets, wild animals, ceramic pottery, and yes....people! But that wasn't my GODDAMN point, now was it? But no, you have this picture of me for some reason so you figured, "Oh yeah this guy's going down this path with it". Guess what: I fucking wasn't. All I was saying was I don't think you can compare things that are made to be weapons to things that are not made to be weapons. ...so how about you go fuck yourself with that dense head of yours, buddy? 

Jesus Christ....I mean, it's one thing to be attacked for something I was arguing, but....getting attacked like this for something I didn't even say...
