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 disagree. Use of a straw man isn’t a sign of ignorance, it’s a sign of malice; it’s a malicious and willful misrepresentation of the other’s position. They’re evil.
You’d probably hit it before you shoot it...
There are so many new acronyms, pronouns and phrases that I can’t keep up.
Plus, I don’t care anymore.
5.56mm
Does it make me a ‘Kinky’ Ammosexual because I like 5.45 X 39?
LOL!!!!
LOL!!!!
Two microcephalics arguing over who cut the cheese.
Personally I think .50 caliber ammosexuals are compensating for something
👍🏼👍🏼
Good answer!
“ammosexual”
That would explain the strong odor emanating from the clearing barrel outside the store.
Is there a line that you must cross before you are a true Ammosexual?
If I have 2 firearms but less than 1000 rounds of ammunition, am I Ammocurious?
If I make my own reloads, am I Ammobating?
Asking for a friend. )))
I’m TransAmmoSexual (rifles that think they’re pistols) on Tuesdays, a BiAmmoSexual (likes me some rifles and pistols) on Thursdays and just a plain AmmoSexual the remaining days.
Good for you! I’m a polyammosexual (several different calibers).
Roger! I am-mo-sexual!! :-)
Great response, brother. See my tag line.
My only hope is that if I ever have cause to confront a ne’er-do-well with a firearm that he’ll be polite enough to give me time to load up my original 1860 Colt. She still shoots mighty fine. I want to take care of business in style if business needs taken care of. If it gets more serious, I have my 1860 Spencer 56-56 with 6 pre-loaded tubes of 7 cartridges in my Blakesley’s Box. That’s firepower! 350 grains at ~1,100 FPS.
Anyone can blast away with an AR, Ak, L1A1, HK91, HK93, UZI,
Desert Eagle .5-0-—all of which I own, but at my age I’d much rather confront evil with some real verve.
displays a level of delusion and lack of historical understanding
Like Gays for Islam.
Never owned. Never shot. But just reading this thread, you guys are a hoot!
Good analogy
For me, all the “little brown men” just became nothing more than silhouette targets, just something I had to hit.
Don’t know if I would feel the same now, but an enemy is an enemy.
just a target that has to be hit. Cant worry about it, it would eat your soul
