Guns

Tree hugger that I am I have to opt out of this thread. I think I watch the news too much to not be bias against guns, in general. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a total peacenik. I can probably decapitate you with a frisbee. Carry on fellas.
Seeing Walter's pic all I could picture was "Hey, look what I found under daddy's bed. What does this thing do?" Pop pop pop....pause. Indeed, scary.
 
For the record, this was not my gun. This pic is about 15 years old, my friend is in law enforcement and is a gun collector. I did shoot it, as well as a ton of other stuff. I grew up around guns as my parents were both sport shooters. I don't currently own any guns, the ones I inherited I gave to this same friend.
 
I grew up in the ghetto.
It was 3 separate times.

I now live in a spot where it would take 10 minutes for a cop to get to my house. That's way too long. I don't need to hire someone to show up with a gun. I have my own and I know how to use it as well as a police officer. They aren't magical people.

Also vast majority of places in this country is not accessible by the police in 10 minutes. You can't assume everyone lives in a densely populated area like NJ.
 
Hunting makes no sense to me unless you live in the bush and need to hunt to survive.

Wait until you run over a deer on the highway going 70mph. I see 10x more road kill on my drives to Michigan than I see car-car accidents.

This. Population density of deer in parts of the sourlands are 200/sq. mile, 10 times what they should be. The only feasible method of control is hunting.
 
You guys live too close too people

I got many places to shoot out back yards

You all need to move

I've been woken up twice by a fox trying to get in my chicken coop. What if one day it's a coyote or bear? Do I just stand there and watch my coop get torn apart and chickens eaten. Nope.

Shoot off fire crackers?

Calling a person to come with a gun because "good citizens" should not need guns? I don't get that.

Don't own a real gun myself. And I haven't built a panic room either. I'm just rolling the dice that it isn't going to happen to me. Just like getting on an airplane or going to NYC at night. Or unprotected....

But there are pirates and marauders. If there was a meth lab across the street I'd def own a couple handguns.

Don't mind people hunting. If you ain't a veggie, then the path for the animal may be different but the result is the same.
