My gun rights are being trampled by my wife(NJ)

I can’t imagine telling my husband he can’t have a gun—or just about anything else he wants.

That being said, I bought him his first gun—LOL!

[occamrzr06]

It’s either a plane that shoots bullets, or a gun that flies.

Jeff needs to take his wife on a vacation.

To Israel.

before long she will want an AR in pastel with a Gucci sling.

[Doctor 2Brains]

VERY well written.

Exactly.

This. guy. is. an idiot.

I think lots of men restrain themselves from various purchases including guns out of respect for the wishes of their spouse. In this case a nice .22 pistol would be an excellent introduction to shooting for the gentleman. Compromises can be reached about storage of the weapon and the nice argument, even if not completely true, is that a .22 just for target shooting is a good one being very believable as a half truth. If he wants to engage in outright lies he could tell his spouse that his boss target shoots and to get ahead he should join him. Greed is an amazing motivator but much simpler with less moral issues is for the guy to just grow a set of balls and buy one. Easier to beg forgiveness then get permission sometimes. Once one gun is in the house and the spouse starts to see it as a harmless sport, perhaps the wife even enjoying trips to the range herself, further purchases can be made.

all you need to know about me

His 3 favorite topics: me, myself, and I. What a narcissistic fruitcake. These mental cases are always leftists, consumed with vanity and envy.

Jeff.

Get thee to a doctor.

Your estrogen levels are farrrrr too high.

Jeff is a major project, like too many American males. They were never taught to be men.

It's a little bit more complicated than that.

All his life he's been around people who didn't understand guns, and who feared guns because of that.

His mind is open enough that he's questioning all that, which is a good thing. He needs to learn about guns, so that he knows the truth about them. He needs somebody to take him shooting, so he can understand how much fun it is.

There is a world of difference between purchasing a gun to use occasionally at the range and being mentally and physically prepared to use that gun to defend yourself and family in a crisis situation.

Nothing is gained, however, in having the populace scared of firearms. I agree with the recommendation to send him to the range, but he should also take his wife. She’d gain a lot from seeing that firearms can be handled safely, that most people are responsible with firearms, and that among responsible firearms users, safety and responsibility is the rule, not the exception.

You can act like a MAN!

Jeff turned his gold dubloons in when he got married.

[GenXteacher]

I’d never dream of marrying a woman that didn’t like guns. That’s a deal-breaker right there....

[EGPWS]

And that’s the truth. Literally, not allowed. My wife won’t let me have a gun.

That's why they are democrats for they follow instead of lead.

[Popman]

Jeff, here is a clue....your wife is your partner not your master...

If you want to buy a gun, first educate yourself, go to range rent a weapon to get a real life experience of handling a weapon, tell your wife you are buying a gun for these very good reasons....take her to the range to reduce the fear factor programed into her liberal mind that guns in fact are not to be feared....

Buy the correct weapon...

Be a man and not a pussy...

Your wife will thank you in the end.... That you care enough about your family to be the protector of her and your family

Did I say stop being a pussy....

Ummm. Empty magazine wells so basically, since I don’t see any magazine packs anywhere, they are carrying around clubs. Kind of like no loaded weapons on bases except for the MP’s. When seconds count the cops are only minutes away.

Helping keep mankind warm for 65 years

[prov1813man]

Yep, if he found his manhood pretty good chance his wife would appreciate it too.

[rktman]

Now I see some magazines. Ya gotta love Israel and the whole IDF. Hopefully they aren’t being PC’d to death too.
