Current Events > Do you own a gun?

(+) Yeah! (+)

nope, never will

My grandfather smoked a pack of cigarettes a day and lived to be 100.

My cousin jumped off a bridge without a parachute and is still alive today.

My friend picked a fight with a grizzly bear and he's just fine.

Hopefully you don't drive your kids anywhere in a vehicle lol

I'm really surprised you survived your family's household given your level of intelligence.

Surprised you survive walking outside. All those are either damn near definite deaths or luck/genetics based. A gun is a simple don't pull the trigger and make sure nobody else around can get ahold of it. Ya know like having a safe or something, being smart enough to not play with them drunk etc.

Sorry, I don't feel insecure in my manhood enough to feel the need to own a gun.

No, I have kids. Won't let them go to anyone's house if they own a gun and don't keep it locked in a safe, either. Only been a problem once. My oldest daughter missed out on a sleepover. Took her to see a movie instead.

People here think if you own one gun you qualify as a gun nut. Arguing with them is futile.

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

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

No the UK doesnt fetishise them like the US.

Sounds nice.

Real question, does British English just not use z's for literally anything? I've never seen fetishize spelt like that before.

We have zoos.

Is that the only usage of the letter you can think of? I do appreciate the response, I didn't even think to consider if you'd call that "soo".

There are levels of risk and responsibility. If I had a gun, Id only be comfortable knowing it wasnt loaded, the safety was on, and it was locked in a combination lock safe. I actually have problems leaving for work every day, having to quadruple check to make sure my door is locked even after I get in the car, unless I know my wife is home. Some sort of low level anxiety disorder.

Which would make it useless in any situation that I would actually need it. And since Im also prone to anxiety, I couldnt exactly trust myself to hold that thing steady enough to be effective either. Id have to go through some pretty regimented physical and psychological training just to be able to sleep at night knowing that thing is in my house. I mean, I go to sleep every night as it is making sure my oven is off.

You call that irresponsible? I call it knowing myself and weighing risk vs reward.

Yes, and I virtually never expect them to leave the house.
Used to go to the range with my dad. When he passed, I'm pretty sure I'm not going back anytime in the near future at least. They're complete last resort defenses at home and (knock on wood) it still seems unlikely that kind of trouble will ever come around.
