[QUOTE="The Other Side, post: 979753, member: 17969"] SOBER, this is what a "[B]nut[/B]" says. You have articulated some points very well on this thread, so why not jump in the water and answer the questions i posted? Two posters called me ignorant about guns, I asked for an education. Why not be the first to explain "your" logic ? I know most gun owners who feel the need to carry a gun everyday, everywhere have themselves convinced that they are taking a "proactive" approach to personal safety, but that is a secondary thought to the primary thought which is FEAR BASED. In order to protect yourself with a gun, you have to be in FEAR in the first place. I have a couple of gun repair shops on my route, and the typical customer including the owners are cut from the same cloth. Braggerts whose only intention is compare substitutes for small apendages in order to feel "brave". Now, for the record (again), I never said all guns were bad. What I have said is that people who own guns should keep them at home, locked up. If you want to target shoot, no problem. If you live on a farm in the middle of the USA and you need a gun for home protection from Bubba and Uncle Dad, ok, I understand. If you want to compete in contests both pistol and rifle, then no problem. Where i have a problem is with persons who "feel" the need to carry a weapon with them at all times because they are so afraid of society, they need to wrap themselves up with a gun(s) like a child would a security blanket. There is absolutely NO NEED to carry a weapon with you at ALL TIMES unless you are suffering from some kind of pychological disorder. We as human beings base all of our decisions on some form of psychological basis, and those who convince themselves that "they" are safer because they have a gun strapped to themselves are really just afraid inside. What kind of thought process goes through a persons mind when they need to run to the store and pick up a few items, then maybe to the gas station before heading home, but before doing so, they have to load 15 rounds into a semi automatic pistol, and 6 rounds into a .38 and hide it in a jacket?? Who does this? Where are you going to shop and get gas, Beirut? Is this kind of person that uncomfortable being unarmed that they have to take that kind of firepower on this kind of trip?? What is it about being unarmed that this kind of person cant deal with psychologically? Tell me SOBER, what is it about your GUN that makes you feel whole? Dont run away from the conversation like the last guy, step up, convince me with your logic. Peace TOS [/QUOTE]
