I have yet to see a counter argument. I've just seen some name-calling and attempts at internet snideness...

life is precious, and god... and the bible.

Anyway, this thread is about my choices in arms.

you sidestepped the question. an 8ball of coke is as lethal as a .40. why don't you feel scared by the 8ball?

 

I didn't sidestep it, when did I say I wouldn't feel scared by the 8ball? The point is the temptation the object inspires, not the object itself. The handgun offers the temptation of the power of life and death over yourself and others. You're right that if you'd be taking the 8ball not for the high, but simply for the thrill of playing russian roulette, then it would be equivalent. Except for the part where you can't kill others from a distance with an 8ball of coke.

get a new fucking interface 1st. I have a firewire notebook adapter card if you want one. I can send it up. Also, I don't really care for the handgun so much, but I've never held it.

That is a possibility.

EDIT: In retrospect, military life was prob the worst in my entire life. I reckon I enjoyed homelessness more.

I've fired the one pictured. They also have a ported version that should be more accurate.

yeah it's a shorty. My buddy got a 357 the other day. I hadn't seen one for a while and it was like, christ, you're fucking big. wayyyy too big.

Springfield makes a smaller model as well, which would be better for concealing. However, IL doesn't allow conceal so it seems pointless...

ya i think we talked about that. i forgot about that. hmmmmm.......

The funny thing is, here in Chicago I can buy the carbine but NOT the sidearm.

Harking all the way back to this... elaborate please.

And to contribute to the thread: i'd kill someone trespassing my house with a meat cleaver and enjoy it; i was once robbed at gunpoint and needed a couple of years to recover from it fully (was only a kid etc), yet i've held and fired guns afterwards and i don't think guns just by themselves carry any sort of ominous presence, they're actually kind of fun.

Those guns sure are guns!

pew pew pew

i think they banned handguns in chicago recently.

i also think that you probably shouldn't own a gun unless you're prepared to use it. and by use it, i don't mean a shooting range.

edit: i am liberal in most respects but i think people should be able to own guns with some restrictions (you know, responsible shit like making sure that someone with a violent criminal history doesn't get them, like you don't give a former heroin addict a morphine drip, that sorta thing).

clack clack

half of me feels like you should have the right to have a gun if you want it, but the other half thinks that's just fucking stupid. i understand shooting for sport, game, whatever, but the fact of the matter is a ton of guns go towards killing people. before you retort with all the knives, weasels and spoons do that too arguments -- guns are designed to kill people. the first colt pistols were literally advertised as being a way to level the physical playing field between men and women. not between men and deer. i've never seen or heard of someone going hunting with a handgun. you did give your disclaimer though... so cool guns, bro.

because you can only kill yourself with the coke

ahh yes but how many families can you potentially ruin with cocaine habits?

lol sorry

i think the jury is still out on whether coke overdose from a distance is possible

lol are we still comparing cocaine to a loaded gun?

lol you could throw syringes that automatically plunge themselves

lol truth lets ban all the drugz. oh wait. so they banned the things that can only directly hurt one's self, leaving the things that can demolish anyone for sale in walmart. i know you were being facetious, but still that argument is just the worst!
