I don’t understand how someone can go there entire life without discharging a firearm. My parents taught me and all my siblings when we were big enough to hold it up. By age 10 I fired more rounds than most soldiers and by 14 I had 6 of my own guns

If we ever have to go to war with these guys, they’re dog meat.

I’m embarrassed to be in the same species as three of these “guys”.

Being a young lad from an East Coast suburb I had never even seen a firearm,let alone fired one,before I got to BCT in the late 60’s.To my surprise I loved rifle range from the first moment we got there.Didn't do too badly for a city boy,either...just 2 points below “expert” qualifying with the M-14.

[Mr. Douglas]

I have a pump shotgun, a 30-06, a .22, an SKS and a .380.
Aproximate number of rounds I’ve put through these guns:
40 rounds through the .22.
2 rounds through the 30-06.
16 through the shotgun
30 through the .380 (I had to because I used it to get my CC)
20 through the SKS.

I have the guns, but shooting them is really boring. Well, sort of. Shooting at animals IS really fun, but as you can see, I don’t do it much.

I think guns are important, but I see them as simple tools and not really a form of entertainment. I think of shooting on a range as something I do to get proficient in their use. Just doing it for fun is, to me, like pounding nails into 2x4’s for fun. But then, I know there are things I do for fun that other people don’t see as fun at all.

The only reason for this diatribe above is to say that I kinda bristle when they compared shooting guns to being a boy rather than a man.

“The experience didn’t turn us into men, it turned us into boys.”

Love it.

[Boomer One]

True, but it’s nice to have new converts.

[Azeem]

These snowflakes are still snowflakes. I’d rather they didn’t shoot until they stopped acting like children. It’s a weapon, not a toy.

[Perseverando]

•"The experience didn't turn us into men, it turned us into boys."

Yes, guns are often called "big boy toys."

They've also probably heard the term "man up." They should try that sometime too.

Just don't use your forehead.

[VoyagerXII]

Buzzfeed Stooges...

[OldSmaj]

I really hope that no one stamped these nancy-boys' Man Card, just 'cause of this one incident of adrenaline and testosterone sampling.

And, I hope they don't give up their day jobs...whatever swishy activity it may be.

[D Rider]

My daughter, when she was in the Marine Corp PLC program used to take other candidates, that had never even held a firearm, to the gun range. Amazing.

[D Rider]

True. But guns with proper training, instruction and teaching of the responsibility of gun ownership do turn boys into men. And yes, guns are fun and turn men into boys.

[Celerity]

Buzzfeed is very good at what they do. And what they wanted to do was have the viewer draw more ire to and from guns.

Try Guys are leftist shills and they are also actors. I don’t believe a moment of it.

[Yo-Yo]

I don’t understand how someone can go there entire life without discharging a firearm.

Grow up in New Jersey.
