Why I decided to buy a handgun

>> What would lead this guy to believe he would shoot himself? If he believes this is a distinct possibility, he should seek help.

But he’s in the RISK GROUP, don’t you know. It’s all about identity politics with the libs.

[Nervous Tick]

My feelings on this...

WOO HOO! Another gun in the hands of a law abiding (albeit liberal) citizen in America! Hopefully he’ll remember to buy lots of ammo too!

Maybe we can hit 400 million by this time next year!

Why I decided to buy a handgun

Because the rifle I had my eye on was too much for my budget this Christmas? ;-)

He’s never fired a hand gun is a worry.. If he went for any training he would have. So he has a gun and no training. What could go wrong?

In hand guns alone, I could make 7 of them weep.

Well, you know that liberals are all so much smarter than the rest of us, so maybe he’s smart enough to get some training.

And maybe he’ll enjoy it so much, that he’ll actually become proficient! And bring others into the fold!

What could go right?

I will never understand this irrational fear of firearms. Two weeks ago I was in a motel room when I was awakened at 0430 to the sounds of someone trying to force their way through the slider leading to the balcony. I could also see a light flashing around the edges of the curtain. My immediate reaction was to grab the Glock 23 that was lying next to me. I opened the curtain and placed the barrel against the window. Those two thugs immediately jumped off the balcony and ran like two scared rabbits. After a lifetime of military and LE service, this was a natural response I didn't even have to think about. Yet there are beta male metrosexuals who would pull the covers over their head or lie there trembling and hoping for the best or they would just soil themselves. I just can't imagine living a life of fear, as they do. I refuse to be a victim and I take sole responsibility for my own safety. That's one of the things that separates the men from the boys.

Sounds like you need to stay in better motels!

This is the kind of guy who buys the Glowbull Warming shinola hook line and sinker. The statistical probabilities say he’s in a high risk group for suicide. From his POV he has no choice, if his statistical number is up it will drop out of the clouds and make him commit suicide.

Unless he has no gun, of course, in which case the next guy on the list gets hit with the statistic stick.

Libs don't trust anyone, not even themselves, apparently.

[raybbr]

That’s actually pretty funny. A reads about people kill themselves with a gun and immediately projects that on himself. It just means he has clearly given up thinking for himself.

I have a significant firearms collection only because I seek to get them off the market as quickly as possible before someone is harmed.

"Today I unfortunately think a different weapon might be what you need like the following. Zastava PAP M92 PV AK47 Pistol, 7.62x39mm, 30 Rnd Mag"

I have one and it is pretty much a toy, because it is so hard to hit anything with it. It weighs too much to accurately aim without a LOT of training. Also it is extremely loud. If you shoot that in the house and are not wearing hearing protection, you will be deaf for a while and may permanently damage your ears.

It is a really fun toy though. Every one likes to shoot it, especially at dusk. If you fire it at dusk, you get to see a fire ball about the size of a basketball.

It was actually a pretty decent motel. Just down the street from Sarah Palin's house. The police, who showed up five minutes later, said this was the first time they knew of such an incident there.

See, he may be a Leftard, but he isn’t necessarily stupid...He understands when danger starts to strike close to home...Then even the Leftard’s self-preservation instinct kicks in and it’s stronger than his ideology...

Even the most abysmal Leftist among us understands the difference between easily held notions of disarmament when there is no perceived danger nearby, and the need to protect his own sorry ass when it looms large...

Awww, so you bought a gun...Did it hurt much, Cupcake? Now do the rest of us a small favor and get some f’n training so you don’t shoot anybody...

need a sign like That!
