Not all all. Nor do I fear them.

I shot a gun once and did not really like it. I dislike fire alarms a lot more.

I like guns.
The laws in Australia make it hard to own them though.
My favorite gun is the Ruger 10/22 in stainless with a folding pistol grip stock, 6 power optics and Harris bipod.

Yes, as long a it's me or someone trained in gun safety handling them. I start to get nervous when I see idiots using them.

I like shooting rifles and handguns with a decent caliber. It's no fun when they don't have a kick.

Guns are a tool -- they are very useful if you need them and have become proficient with them.

I hate guns! They're expensive and take up space, but I must keep buying them and I cannot sell any. On top of that, it isn't cheap to keep them fed.

Damned things!

Makayla - Yeah, idiots scare me. My girlfriend and I were shooting once when some morons drove up and parked their truck right between us and our targets. They stepped out, beers already opened, and immediately started firing at things. We got out of there without even picking up our brass.

I wanted to keep shooting that way as if they weren't there, but unfortunately the law still values the lives and property of stupid a**holes.

I don't feel a need to own one, but I enjoyed myself when friends took me to the gun range and would definitely go again given the chance.

I don't mind guns however guns should not be glamorized as this sends out the wrong message.

I like them a lot, and own many. I have one as old as the mid-1700s, which was used in battle in the Moorish Revolution. I also have several rare 1st generation Colt SAA revolvers, a Civil War era Dance Bros. cap & ball (made for the Confederate Army). I also have modern-day assault rifles (legally bought at the time, and legally kept under Texas rules in Texas). I guess I'm a gun collector :wink:

Good show on the collecting. I used to be totally avid in shooting..hunting..reloading..collecting etc. Great investment might I add. Since Obamie got re-elected the libs gonna be making a move to grab em. Listen to the poor Mate from Oz. The guv'ment has the citizens totally disarmed and crime is rampant and growing stronger down there. Nowadays I just pack for personal and innocent bystander protection. I like one which is small..accurate and holds a lot of big nasty hollow point fast moving bullets. Sig .40 P226 works nicely in that role. As I was taught..Being tried by 12 is better than to be carried by 6. Glad to see others from God's Country which hangs out on here.

Kinda funny when you think about it... We glamorize tanks, missiles, drones, assassination squads, nuclear submarines, bombers, etc etc etc. We spend trillions on this s**t and think of cool names for it like "stinger" "patriot" "tomcat" "hornet" "eagle" "typhoon" etc etc etc. Then we send our kids to invade Iraq for nothing with these things and get a bunch of people killed while meticulously tracking the body count that we create. All the while back home we're worried about sending the wrong message to kids about handguns and video games. Makes sense to me.
