Are you competing for the Olympic long jump? Because that's quite a leap, holy shit. What do guns have to do with it? I understand you may have some preoccupations about it that interfere in this way, but most people don't
It's really not that big of a leap, guns tense things up. This tenseness leads to more devisive people and less communication comes about. When you think of a gun chances are what comes to mind first isn't going to be something you want to think about. Now multiply that for the amount of people whose familys been affected from one. That's alot of bad vibes spreading around, a lot of depressed people not going out. If we can take those thoughts away and replace them with good ones yeah I think we would be better off. Kinda interesting you chose to make this about me when there are many other ways this convo could have gone. Also Australia did it and every one of those fuckers I run into are hilarious and idk if it's correlated or not but hey maybe let's just try it out and see.
Not typically among people who are regularly exposed to them
No, I think of the handgun in my nightstand, my father's hunting rifle, my cop brother's electronic gun safe, my friend's revolver, and my former drug dealer's shotgun
I've held that same handgun to my head and contemplated pulling the trigger, and I'm no closer to understanding what you mean by this
Seems like we could accomplish the same with universal gun safety classes/ positive exposure in k-12 (and greater access to no-cost therapy)
I think you're in the minority for feeling this way. Just because you're stating it as if it's a universal truth doesn't make it so. It's a personal feeling you shared- I didn't make it about you.
You got me there- if it makes everyone funny, that might be worth it
It would be worth. You could of bought a jet ski for the amount you spent on guns and if you have one already, what's better than one jet ski? Two jet ski's! And that sounds like a lot more fun than what ever the best thing you've accomplished with your hobby is.
Lol, time-share jet ski (ik you're joking, but jet skis are a lot more expensive than guns)
The way you're defending them sounds like you've invested a whole lot.
Nope, I spent like $500 for a handgun about a decade ago, plus maybe $100 since then in ammo for practice. People who spend like +10k on guns probably consider it their hobby, and I assume they enjoy that hobby more than they would enjoy a jet ski, but I don't know anyone with more than 3 guns, and that's one for deer hunting, one for bird hunting, and one for protection/defense (from wildlife and people)
