Gun control in America

Wondering what the rest of the world thinks of America’s obsession with guns. If you could, would you own one?

I’m thinking no, since criminals don’t have them either. But i LOVE the shooting range. That kick, the noise and the holes we make are pretty damn, cool.

Go to your friends house that’s sitting on a lot of land, setup water melons or pumpkins and watch them explode!

Since guns ARE so prevalent, most of us figure if guns are banned only criminals will have guns. I would be willing to give up my guns (I’d miss the range) if it meant less death, but it would take a decade or more to get them all from the criminals.

I also figure criminals will get bigger knives. Would I shoot to kill? Depends on the situation. At one time, an ass pulled a knife on me and I pointed my gun at his balls. Told him to get down and call the cops. He did. Told him I’d cap his ass-hole if he didn’t. I would not have, as I was pretty sure he wished he wore diaper.

I have 3 realistic imitation pistols that fire BB’s.

I did have an AK47, M4 and a sniper rifle, sold them when I stopped playing airsoft.

I used to have a .36 cap and ball revolver and a .45 cap and ball revolver. They were from kits I bought from Kmart. They had just introduced their “Blue Light Special”.

A friend of my pa’s owned some cottages on the shore of Lake Michigan that we frequented a couple times a year. Tiny quaint little town named Pentwater.

An old man was always selling “stuff” out of his garage. I bought an 1861 SpringField .50 caliber cap and ball. Never did shoot that thing. Too afraid it’d blow itself apart.

So where in the world do you live?

Airsoft is like paintball but use 6mm spherical plastic/bio pellets (BBs) and doesn’t get paint everywhere.

Then how do you know you’ve been hit? Does it sting a little bit? What if you get hit in the eye?
