The catch-all gun thread

[Owlix]

I appreciate firearms for their defensive capabilities, but also, I would like to own a couple guns to go shooting from time to time. It's an acquired skill like any other, archery, knitting, quilting, or cooking. I would not relinquish any quilter of her needle or knitter of her darning needle just because those things could be conceived as weapons in a modern society. Nor would I take spikes from a mountain climber simply because they could penetrate vital organs of passers by.

An item only becomes a weapon if you choose it to be so. I will use anything as a weapon if necessary. Guns? Don't worry, I don't own 'em. But I do have some little bats, knives, scissors, and a myriad of heavy, hurtful objects that will become prime weapons.
So don't push me.
