NRA - Put Armed Good Guys In All Schools

[Big Jim P]

Target shooting, hunting(Which is still killing, I'll give you), and whenever you need to send any object down a distance at a very high velocity.

What's the point of target shooting if you don't intend on killing something?

to better shoot a target? A target does' NOT have to equate to a living being and if it does in you mind, then you really shouldn't have access to firearms.

[Liriena]

But...guns ARE killing machines. Why else do we make them for?

Target shooting, hunting(Which is still killing, I'll give you), and whenever you need to send any object down a distance at a very high velocity.

They still don't detract far from the gun's basic design and quite explicit purpose: a weapon.

Fun.

You view it as acceptable for murders like this to happen so that you can have fun playing war at a firing range?

[Bafuria]

This one, for instance.

You'll have to be more specific.

You can tell this pistol is specifically designed to make holes in paper because it has an LPA sight and a nil-griff grip.

[Choronzon]

Or, you know, for fun.

It does not matter what you tell yourself, the purpose of target shooting is to make one a better shot with a killing machine. The original purpose of fencing and kendo, before swords were obsolete weapons, was to make one more proficient with a killing machine.

The very same reason why some people practice fencing or kendo.

Because they believe the zombies are coming.

Why are you bringing up fake guns in a discussion about gun control and pretending like thats an argument?

[Defensor]

Fucking assholes. Being pissed that 20 kids are now dead because of asinine policies pushed for by the gun lobby.


Yep. There is no problem. Gun violence is not a huge issue in America. Keep your head in the sand and keep buying the propaganda the NRA feeds you.


20 kids were gunned down while at school. Are you seriously saying this is being blown out of proportion?

Fuck off. Trying to prevent the massacre of children after a massacre is called trying to prevent a fucking massacre.

What a childish view of things.

You know, Boths sides of the gun debate politicizing the deaths of 20 children is pretty godsdamn sickening.

Edit: And yes, even I am guilty.

And this people, is the bottom line!

Oh really?

[Choronzon]

And this people, is the bottom line!

You are making a political argument. You are arguing for the status quo.

[Galloism]

I wonder how many of the "lets ban guns" crowd have any idea how relaxing a couple hours at the range is.

There's very few things that can lift my spirits and relax me like that.

[Vareiln]

That's funny, because I haven't killed anyone, don't want to kill anyone, and never kill anyone.
If I find it fun, I find it fun. If you don't believe me, then the problem lies with you.

[Vareiln]

You DO realize that it's very much a real gun, no?

[Choronzon]

I wonder how many people participating in the discussion are actually in the "lets ban guns" crowd.

Same I love the smell, how accomplished you feel afterward, it's just all around a good experiance.

You were not included.

There are a few hanging around that are, though.

[Vareiln]

...
Do you honestly even understand the difference between wars and shooting at paper targets are shattering flying clay targets?

You know, you seem like a cool guy. Why so furious?

Thah was a real gun. See, most anti-gun people do not know much beyond the "it's a gun, it's bad" mantra.

No, I don't. I'm not a gun enthusiasts. I've shot a few times, but would hardly pretend to know all the makes or models or keep up with all the new toys. I'm unfamiliar with the product, and vague references are not very illuminating.

The smell? I dunno if you shoot trap, but I can tell you that the smell is not the enjoyable part.
Or maybe that's just because of shotgun.

[Bafuria]

Fun.

You view it as acceptable for murders like this to happen so that you can have fun playing war at a firing range?

Do you view it is acceptable for people to die from diabetes just so you can eat refined sugar?
Do you view it is acceptable for people to die from alcohol fueled violence just so you can get a buzz?
Do you view it is acceptable for people to die from car accidents just so you can own a sports car designed to go faster than 120 kph?
Do you view it is acceptable for people to be bludgeoned to death with bats just so you can play cricket?
etc.

If we banned everything that is unnecessary and potentially harmful, life would suck big time.

Be more clear. Are you saying regulations to save lives and saturating the US with guns are equivalent?

[Choronzon]

Please show me where I have sad guns are bad.

Range time is a good, relaxing way of spending money. No different from say a dinner and a movie.
