Common Gun Myths....

[stratobastard]

Guns kill people.

That's like blaming a piano for playing the wrong notes or a keyboard for misspelling words.

Exactly my point!

You can prevent a hijacking with a greeting.

No, wait, you can...

Dad's MG34 is not fully automatic.. And thats not real ammo in the box.

Oh yes it was!

Tommy DeVito: You mean, let me understand this cause, ya know maybe it's me, I'm a little f'd up maybe, but I'm funny how, I mean funny like I'm a clown, I amuse you? I make you laugh, I'm here to f'n amuse you? What do you mean funny, funny how? How am I funny?

I felt sorry for Spider!!!

If the bullet gets stuck halfway down the barrel of a Colt 45 then you can't fire another one through it to unjam it.

Oh Yes you can!

I'll let that be proven with a substantialy sized control group before I try it!

You don't have to aim a shotgun

People who carry guns think they are cowboys/vigilantes

Got some more?

Aiming a shotgun: for skeet , or hunting deer.
Not if it's a sawed off with what we've coined the term, "antichoke". reaming or grinding the last 1/4" of the barrel. That my friend, is just; point & squeeze


Yes, people that don't have a specific reason to carry, imo don't need to carry! Punto!!!

And even if I see it work a few times, it still won't convince me that it's a good idea.

The number of legally owned guns in the US has no effect on the number of illegally owned guns or their use in crime.

There's anything we can do about it at this point.

If I posted an anti gun thread it would get deleted as political.

Oh, wait, that one's true.

I hate gun analogies.

To counter yours - I think that's exactly what you're saying. That when they're misused, that's what happens.

Guns were made for that exact reason - to kill. Yes, you can use them for hunting, target practice, self defense (of course, the defense is so that you can shoot someone), speed drills, etc... but don't ever confuse them with something that they're not. They're not a "tool".

My least favorite is people comparing them to cars.

To drive a car - you're supposed to have insurance. Have that on your guns? No, you don't.

The number of car accidents every year? Sure, there's tons. There's also tons of cars being actively driven. A gun in a holster or in a safe is NOT the same thing. If there were millions of guns being shot 24-7, there'd be plenty more accidents.

To compare a car to a gun, you have to make the car just as safe. Drain the gas tank, remove the wheels, and lock it in a garage. Then it's comparable to a gun in a safe. If the car is in the driveway, then it's about as safe as a loaded gun, as long as no one touches it.

Of course, I say all this as a gun owner.

I hear you Dom. As a long time Martial artist (and longer time shooter), I do not like when people do not consider those things weapons. They are weapons and they are dangerous and they should always be treated as such.

Any dancing around this issues offends me immensely. "Well we want to make it safe"

BS - Weapons are inherently DANGEROUS. Treat them accordingly and you'll be fine. Get the least bit confused, and you are in trouble.

It's about respect - not fear.

You should love America and its gun laws, you can whine and moan all day about how you don't like them and still have the right to not buy one...awesome isn't it?

Wouldn't it suck if you were forced to own one?

Think about that when you suggest they be taken away from others.

Threads like this never turn into a pissing match debate between pro-gun control people and anti-gun control people.

Nice.
