While watching the debate I only uttered two phrases over and over again: “F that” and “F you” (nobody was around fortunately, because I said it enough to make somebody’s ears bleed). At Biden’s comment, I sat there for a good minute in stone cold silence, amazed at what was just said, before I exploded in a volcano of profanity.
I don’t understand why having a weapon as your “baby” is viewed as such a negative. People adore their cars, spending thousands to soup it up. People dote over their entertainment systems, pumping hundreds to thousands of dollars just to be entertained to the max. Why should a weapon be considered any differant? I don’t shoot at people, and rarely do I actually shoot at an actual siloette. That’s mainly because I enjoy the sport of shooting. I wish more people understood that. Yes, weapons do kill, but just like people practice archery and never use that skill to kill people, the same applies to fire-arms.
Et qui nolunt occidere quemquam, posse volunt. - Juvenal
Even those who don't want to kill anybody would like to have the power to do it.
