Friend of friend on facebook jumped on the whole "no need for automatic weapons or even semi-automatic weapons, they are just used to kill."

My response...



Sue, I think you have a very narrow "city minded" view. you might want to read up on what the difference between semi-auto, automatic, and bolt guns are. Your claim of semi-automatics are more dangerous would be argued easily by many target shooters that shoot competition every day. The mechanism doesn't define it's use, the intent behind the trigger does. You are choosing to see a single use for guns when there are many.


I am scared my guns might jump outta my safe and kill me, you know they usually kill their owners... SMH

The last person who started the "gun debate" left the conversation when I stated that my legal guns were safer that you voting for Obama.

Usually I try to have a civil conversation with them about the differing points they bring up, and invite them to shoot a bit, so many times I can convert them. But after about 15 minutes and I can see they'll never get it because they're closed minded, I usually just tell them they're either fearful, mentally challenged, or an Obama voter and leave it at that!

Over the years my patience has waned, and the wife tells me I frequently have an attitude problem...go figure.

Make that four and my wife loves to shoot.

Somebody, maybe Charlie hotel damn, summed it up perfectly:

She sees the world the way it should be or she wants it to be and I see it the way it is.

Haha. Took me a second to catch that. Yep that was me when talking to my MIL.

And then I killed her.

And I got one to admit that places like Israel where guns are everywhere are safer... :)

I tell them I heard North Korea is wonderful this time of year if they want to be "safe."
I like that.

That is a little nicer than what I tell them.

I had this conversation this weekend. It went like this:

them: "You carry a gun right? Do you honestly think you could have stopped that guy in the theater?"
me: "Maybe, and maybe not but I at least would have a CHANCE to do something. What's your plan?"

I do my best not to make points like F-U or you are a comme and stuff like that.

What I tell them is this, you (as in they) have rights and privileges to do and perform all kinds of acts at anytime. At what point have I regulated their rights and privileges? So do not regulate mine.

Lastly I ask them to go with me to the range, if they say YES I setup a FUN time, shooting cans, balloons and things like that. I do not use human type targets or talk about how this round does this or that. Just a fun shooting day.
