I don't even own a gun let alone many guns that would necessitate an entire rack.

But seriously I do. Mostly inherited from my dad.

Yep, multiple. First was for self defense after I was assaulted in my own home, the others were because I found out how cool old cowboy action style firearms were.

Doesn't mean you can't own one, just have to show reason to own it. Pass some security checks, have your gun cabinet inspected etc.

I don't own one either, but my old man used to have a shotgun for game hunting.

I know I put that face there for lols but Im happy to not have one and that guns are regulated to only certain people for jobs. I dont see myself ever wanting to own a gun for any reason personally

Oh me too.

Not that I don't appreciate the appeal of shooting as a hobby. A day at the range can be an enjoyable experience.(assuming it isn't pissing down and the driving wind at the firing point isn't in the opposite direction to that indicated by the flag at the targets; which accounted for 95% of my range days. Ah well, if it ain't raining it ain't training.)

Archery is probably an easier bet (regulation wise) in the UK, if you seek the dopamine of hitting targets.

No because I am a superior British man where we have the good sense to ban those things unlike trigger happy Yankee Land.

Little fact for you, Number of civilian guns in The UK just over 3,000,000. Population of The UK just over 67,000,000. Number of civilian guns in The US just over 393,000,000. Population of The US 340,000,000.

Yes there are more guns than people in The US!

I used to. Had to get rid of it when I went through some BS legal issues a few years back.

Would like to get another one now that I have no record, but Trudeau has made that extremely difficult.

Might get one in the US if I can, but it depends how the election goes before I make any big decisions.

I have a .45 with hollow-points for potential intruders that want a really massive hole in their groin. Otherwise, the handful of others are shotguns, a .30-06, and an Army revolver from 1860 inherited from my dad.

Depends on your definition of gun. I have a couple big bore air guns. They're not firearms, but they are absolutely deadly and they look like a gun.

Yes I own many. Never once purchased one though. Inheritance is a hell of a thing when you have a gum nut relative. Got probably a few thousand worth in guns and a free truck.

Don't worry I've been properly trained in handling guns. Had to for my job. It's a yearly thing gun safety them qualifying on accuracy. But also said relative taught me. Personally himself but he made me read the manual for every gun he had he could still find the manual. Which for those who don't know a good chunk is gun safety stuff.

There is more to shooting a gun than hitting a target. Yes that's part of it but it's hard to describe. The loud bang the recoil all of it adds to a adrenaline rush.

I actually don't go out shooting very often. Usually just once a year as part of my job. But it is fun if I can ignore the pressure to do good.

See, this is why that previous poll on how many guns people here own, with no option for 0, gave a bullshit representation of this board and gun ownership, as people were erroneously concluding.

As I had suspected based off comments in the previous thread & potential lurker voters and as the poll currently shows, the majority of the board doesn't even own a gun.

So you feel you are too irresponsible then? Someone responsible would have measures in place to make sure the kid doesn't get ahold of it. And if you can't trust your wife well your fucked cause she will use a kitchen knife while you are asleep if she must
