It's Christmas Day and your girlfriend says she got you a present.

It seems larger than a box of chocolates so you open it and discover an AR-15 inside, with a lipstick kiss mark on the barrell as well as a fresh box of ammo.

"Merry Christmas sweetie!" she says as she looks at you expectantly.

Inverse to boyfriend if that way inclined.

How would you react?
What do you do?

Thank her then sell it to someone that actually wants it, use the proceeds to buy something I actually want.

If she gets upset about it then oh well, no sense in keeping something around that I have no interest in using.

I'd happily put it with my other AR, and hope for an A2 clone next year.

That's a pistol btw

I would be very surprised that she didn't know after 15 years together that I have no interest in guns, plus the fact that I live in a sensible country with gun control laws so I wouldn't be able to use it.

What guns would you consider to be exclusive to hunting?

I live in Britain and here in Britain many types of guns are banned and we have the strictest control measures in the world.

If she did get me a shotgun which legal I would sell it or bin it as I have zero interest in guns.

That isn't legal. Of course, CE doesn't know gun laws and imagines it's as easy to buy a gun as walking into a store in GTA.

Oh really?

Almost everyone here has no idea about getting a gun. Most here think it is like a video game where you can just walk into a shop and buy one like you would a candy bar.

I still think it's less strict than Australia, Japan, Singapore etc.

And in ancedoteal experience I know a ton more British guys with guns than German guys. People just ignore the law.

I remember going into a "hobby" shop in Dover that has fishing stuff in the window but the moment you walk into the store all you see is guns.

I don't buy that it's strictest place in the world for gun control, in law or in practice.

Yeah my first thought was "that's not even legal in my state" which drastically changes this scenario lol.

If I was in the US, I'm someone who is for stricter and more highly scrutinised gun control.

On that stance, I should not be allowed a gun.
