Recently, got into a brief exchange with an antigunner on another forum. Thought I'd share it with you.
I was answering a post about someone who had their house ransacked and robbed. My initial response post follows, then the exchange:
Laz: "I sure hope they don't try me. I seldom leave and have a terrific aim. Gosh, that would be awful if I ended up shooting a bunch of them as they broke in. That would really mess with my head."
Antigunner: "Ammosexuals always want to shoot up the neighborhood. Besides, they probably knew he was gone. Hope it works out for him, and they catch the culprits."
Laz: "Couple of points:
First: You Hoplophobes have it 180 degrees out of phase. We Ammosexuals do NOT want to 'shoot up the neighborhood'. Thus, such things as Rule 4 of Firearms Safety: "BE SURE OF YOUR TARGET AND WHAT’S BEYOND IT"
Doesn't sound much like someone who wants to 'shoot up the neighborhood', does it?
Second: While it may sound like I am sarcastic in my original post, in some parts I am absolutely not. I've done enough reading to know that any time you take a human life, it really does mess with your head. Soldiers, police, and civilians who need to take a life have adverse effects for extended periods of time, often permanently. Humans are not hardwired to kill other humans.
So, for me, firearms ownership is a lot like having fire insurance on my house: I'm hoping to never need to use it, but I will be glad it's there if it's necessary.
However, for you to start your response with what you perceive is a denigration -- Ammosexuals -- tells me that my reasoned response will fall on deaf ears. Ergo, I do not write it for you, but for others who chance upon our exchange."
I’m too old to a sexual of any kind, so I’m just an efficient shooter.
I’m bi-caliber curious ;’}
Gotta wonder....is collecting spent cartridge cases after shooting like using a prophylactic? Asking for a friend.
That is dangerous! You don’t want to hesitate while choosing which one to use.
Good job, thoughtful response to the guy.
Although I would not want to take another human’s life, I do not think it would mess with my head if I had to do it to protect family, friends, or myself from someone committed to doing evil. I would consider it to be a positive step in ridding the earth of a scumbag. Kind of like legally executing the death penalty. Some people simply do not deserve additional life on earth.
Holy Hoplophobia Batman- how did he go from reading about a person wanting to defend themselves, to that person “wanting to shoot up the neighborhood”?
That illogical leap of logic was larger than Evel Knievel’s Snake River Jump
As Clint Eastwood said “If you could reason with a democrat, there wouldn’t be any Democrats”
Me, I’m Bi-ammosexual.
= = =
In Calif it is hard to bi-ammo.
I no longer even attempt to have any discourse with the anti-gunners
The last straw for me was an extended discussion with my brother-in-law’s Jewish wife. The last people who should want the government to control firearms should be Jews. I refuse to deal with people who have no sense of self preservation. Particularly people with a 2000 year history of persecution and genocide. Both of which were largely carried out by governments. For an American Jew to be anti-gun and rabidly pro-government displays a level of delusion and lack of historical understanding that I cannot deal with.
All the Biden voters are shooting up the big cities right now.
The inside of my house is not the neighborhood.
They think gun owners think that way because they know if they had a gun, they would shoot up the neighborhood.
I should have read ahead.
Guilty as charged. (My pronouns are 5.56/.223 and .357)
Bkmk
Depends on caliber. If the cases are reloadable ... or not, like a .22lr or .22magnum. All reloadables should be collected up for reloading. Waste not, want not. I reload 12 gage and 20 gage.
I’m a polyammosexual because I like rifles and shotguns in addition to those
I tell gun haters to put their property where there mouth is; Go buy a big sign that says “NO GUNS HERE”, and plant it right in their front yard.
No takers on that yet.
