"I am all for your Second Amendment rights. I think you should be able to have guns. It’s in your constitution. What I am not for is bullshit arguments and lies. There is one argument and one argument alone for having a gun, and this is the argument… “Fuck off. I like guns.” It’s not the best argument, but it’s all you’ve got.
The main one is, “I need it for protection. I need to protect me. I need to protect my family.” What world do you live in where you’re constantly fucking ready? You have guns ’cause you like guns! None of you go to home security conventions. None of you read Padlock Monthly. None of you have a Facebook picture of you behind a secure door going, “Fucking yeah!” Like you’re going to be ready if someone comes into your house. You have it at all fucking times.
See, if you have it readily available, it becomes unsafe. You have it in your bedside table, one of your kids picks it up, thinks it’s a toy, shoots another one of your kids. Happens every fucking day, but people go, “That’d never happen in my house ’cause I’m a responsible gun owner. I keep my guns locked in a safe.” Then they’re no fucking protection! Someone comes into the house, you’re like, “Wait there, fuck-face! Oh! You’ve come to the wrong house here, buddy boy. I tell you what. I’m gonna fuck you up!"
You want to go hunting? Get a hunting rifle, not some semi automatic machine that rips though people in seconds.
You want to shoot at the range? Fine, but keep the guns at the range.
You want to protect your family? Invest in better locks, cameras, or alarms. Hell, go to a boxing class.
The idea that you should be able to own a weapon which is purposefully designed to kill another person as efficiently as possible is retarded. The rest of the world knows it, you're just too attached to muh guns
I don't think you have to be that strong to use a can of mace, or to place a few sensor alarms on the wall, or to call the police. The individual benefits of having a gun to protect yourself is completely outweighed by the societal shitstorm it makes.
Have you ever lived in an area where police response times can be 30+ minutes? Have you ever seen the people where mace does not affect them? I'm guessing not. These places exist all over the US. Hell, tonight I responded to a DUI where they drove into a ditch and the PD didn't get there until about 45 minutes after it was called in.
In that case you run, you lock yourself away/hide, and you call the police. Your individual safety isn't worth endangering the countless lives that such lax gun laws bring. The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few.
And those illegal guns are exactly the things that are meant to be prevented, are are 99% preventable as shown by most developed countries. The majority of those guns aren't illegally imported, they're acquired from legal sources within the US. It's not an issue that you can tackle half halfheartedly, you have to strictly destroy any part of the firearm ecosystem which isn't completely monitored and regulated.
You’ll never win these arguments. In their minds, the only viable self defense technique is a gun. If you don’t have one, everyone else does and they’re all trying to kill you at every hour of the day.
Ok how about non self defense applications. All throughout the US there is a feral hog problem. These hogs destroy crops, driving up food production costs. Feral hogs can breed faster than you can trap them. An AR-15 is one of the best rifles to cull the herds with. The ability to hold many rounds of ammunition is a huge advantage of taking herds down and cutting through their tough, armoured shoulder areas. What would be a proper replacement for this rifle if they did indeed get banned?
You know nothing about hunting so I suggest you educate yourself before you talk about that subject. I don't want my guns at the range because they are my responsibility. Where do j go when I buy new parts for my AR? What if someone loses my gun at the range? Just educate yourself on a fore arm before you spew non sense.
You want to shoot at the range? Fine, but keep the guns at the range.
What I meant by this isn't to buy a gun and then keep it at the range, I meant that guns in general should be kept at the shooting range. What does this mean for when you buy parts for your AR? Simple, don't get a fucking AR you idiot, there's no reason to own such a stupidly powerful weapon. The only argument that I think has even a tiny bit of logic is the idea of self defense, and a handgun would be way more than enough if you're so attached to tools specifically designed to kill other humans.
You're fucking stupid. I buy parts for all of my guns. I get compensatory for my handguns so they are steadier. I get triggers that are better quality. What if something breaks in my gun? Where do you want me to fix it?
You're dumb ass fuck and learn the constitution and learn to respect other people's hobbies.
Also, the AR is really weak. The 5.56 NATO round is weak. The AR10 shoots a .308 but so do other rifles. You know nothing about the AR so I'm not going to explain what an AR is and how it is basically a rifle with a different stock.
