If you don’t, no need to reply telling me you don’t. I live in the woods with some critters. I live pretty far from neighbors/police so having a gun gives me peace of mind. I also hunt and consider myself a gun hobbiest. I enjoy shooting targets, cleaning/organizing, reloading and earning food with guns.

    This. I’m not into violence, but the Republicans are getting scary and they have a lot of weapons. It’d be easier to reconcile my issues with violence if I had to shoot someone than it’d be to reconcile the issues I’d have if I wasn’t able to fight them trying to hurt me or my family.

    Plus target shooting is fun.

      I’m a punk so I’ve never been totally adverse to violence but usually a knife was good but now I really feel uncomfortable with the vibe I was getting and I felt it was time to get strapped. Fuckers always want a victim but shit their pants when they realize they found a fight. Someone kept eyeing me a little while back and I just stared back at them while clicking my gun belt and they went white in the face and got back in their truck real fast cos they’re all chicken-shit bullies.

      I can’t get enough target practice though, I even set up a little shooting gallery in my basement for bb and airsoft guns just to keep sharp when my ears are dying after the 50th trip in a row to the range where someone next to me had an AR going off the entire time. Nazis and klan bitches make for fun targets though in the basement gallery. I ended up with a .22 rifle as well to bring to the range and that is just so much fun to shoot with. That thing is nearly silent with some CCI quiets, you just hear the bolt hit the rim and the bullet impact
