Disney world is located in Florida. i forget florida is just a nuttier texas sometimes i just dont get the appeal of collecting firearms. people talk about getting a new gun like its a new video game console. they talk about gun mods like its like customizing a pc. is it really that exciting? i mean all it does it make a little explosion to send a projectile to damage something. i dont want to hobby shame or anything but...why guns? --- "well, yeah, and a lot of minorities go to see minstrel shows, too." - PyroSpoon <cite>FelineCyborg posted [p:975191474] in the overla...

You don't get the appeal? Thats fine. They do. right, i dont get the appeal which is why im asking. i have friends who are hobbyists in niche things like trains or geocaching or hell even being a disney amusement park nerd is weird, but i get it. im not a stranger to being a hobbyist in weird things. to me a gun is a tool to cause damage. thats like a dude collecting hammers or something, but even that makes more sense to me than guns because a hammer would see more use in daily life than a gun would. i guess there doesnt have to be a reason but i can still find it strange. at the very least its morbid. overclocking a pc to get 5 extra frames is weird but theres at least a productive outcome no matter how asinine. modding a gun so it kills and destroys things 5% more efficiently is morbid --- "well, yeah, and a lot of minorities go to see minstrel shows, too." - PyroSpoon <cite>FelineCyborg posted [p:975191784] in the overla...
