So somebody knocks on your door thus interrupting your gameplay and you respond by (Phallus)ing your shotgun? Did you even bother looking at who was there, you know, in case it might have been the cops or something.
I'm all for second amendment but that was just plain stupid. |

when you live in a town laden with drunk college kids, violent ex felon bums, and a rising rate of armed home robberies, a shotgun is a good investment (along with all my other guns)
Congratulations, you just describe average city USA World. Doesn't mean you need to be a paranoid and irresponsible gun owner ready to blast every damn thing that moves within 30' of your home.

Right-O, well at least you won't be around too long to inflict this stupidity on others.

and it wasnt just "kocking" it was both hands in fists banging repeatedly on a door at 2am... i would think that would startle anyone
And it could have been a neighbor who was escaping an armed burglar. This is why they invented peepholes. But hey, go on exercising your poor gun safety skills.
And if you must know, I live in Hicktown USA, right next to Average City USA. We have one Sheriff and one Deputy, and everyone owns a gun. Doesn't mean we're (phallus)ed and loaded every time there's a spooky sound. |

I live in canada, for about 6 years I lived in the pad part of the town I lived in, never saw any of this. I think a big part of it is that people are much more violent in the USA. Lets stop the Americans are violent people view. Humans by nature are bleeping violent, guns or not. If a person wants to commit crimes and harm others they will do just that, be it with a gun, a knife, a car, or a baseball bat. But on the main point I do agree, racking the shot gun sight unseen at some one pounding on your door is a little overkill. For the record I am not some anti gun hippy, I currently have 3 rifles, 2 shotguns, 4 pistols, a Bow and arrows, and various knives in my bedroom alone. They are all tools that we as Americans are privileged to own, and a few people being irresponsible with them are the reason the government wants to take them from us all. You were being sarcastic when you wrote that last paragraph, weren't you...guns as tools? LOL! Tools for what - you need to go hunting your Big Mac?
As a matter of fact yes. |

I'm all for letting people own guns, but a little bit of honesty concerning the reasons people want guns to be legal would be nice. That "safety and protection" bull crap is just annoying.
Why's that? |

Do you take away all guns because of a small majority of offenders? Do you take away all knifes because some people stab others with them? Do you ban potato chips because they make fat people fat?
If knives were as dangerous as guns, they'd give soldiers knives instead of guns. Somehow it seems harder to commit murder using potatoes as well.
Soldiers do carry knives...... |

They give them both because either or can get the job done just as effectively. I know I'd want a knife if I were the first through a door and a insurgent tackled my ass to the floor. Be pretty hard to aim an assault rifle when the target is on top of you. |

This sounds as silly as someone saying "i own 3 trucks, 2 SUV's, 4 cars and a motorcycle" only in this case we're talking about killing tools. One handgun for self defence? Sure, it's understandible, if i lived in a country that would allow me to have one i'd get one too. But that many? Why? Different rounds and guns for different applications. I hunt , I like to go to the range for target practice and competitive shooting, home defense, and concealed carry. I enjoy my fire arms and have a lot of fun with them, and get just as much practical use. If you enjoyed classic cars and had 6 of them would you consider that odd?
And they are a collectible like anything else you can get out there. Several of my guns belonged to my grandfather and I've gotten many more just because I like the look of them. In fact I have a few that I have never fired before. My most used however are:
My .308 British Enfield is my hunting rifle. For a rifle that is 80 years old it is incredibly accurate with iron sights. The only modification I've made to it is a hunting sling and a ammo sleeve on the butt. It still has all of its original markings, paint, and dings in the wood.
My 12 gauge Winchester semi auto is my bird rifle. This one is a hand me down from my father.
My 9 mm is my fun at the gun range pistol. Ammo is cheap and I can kill those paper targets all day long. We also occasionally bring out a .38 that has quite a bit more kick to it.
And my AK-47 is my other fun at the range gun because, well, its an AK. You can't help but admire the simplicity of the design which has been incorporated into almost every Russian rifle since then (Dragunov, Saiga, RPK-74M).
What I like about guns are the hundreds of ways you can change them and make them look, each one becoming an individual little work of art. I've always have been fascinated by the function of the design as well watching how the chamber gets pushed by by the gas created by the bullet firing, ejecting the spent shell and then catching the next round and chambering it all in one action. |

if they are not authorized they die. Shooting someone for knocking on your door is illegal most everywhere. Will you feel justified in your paranoia if you shoot a young panicked mother who ran to the nearest house because her baby is hurt? edit: by all means, answer the door prepared for bad things. Chain on the door, foot behind it, gun concealed but accessible...but do NOT approach the door expecting to shoot someone. That's how innocent people die and you become a murderer.
Something tells me the panicked mothers are going to pass up the Branch Herzogg Compound with his electrified barb wire fences and attack dog's  . It probably makes the Chainsaw Massacre house look like a safe location to go to. |

overall, yea i consider myself one of those sane sensible gun owners and i gladly would respond to any nut threatening public safety in my neighboorhood, again because if its in my area, i immediately think of my family and the chance that a murderous physco my stumble near my mom or dad or something...
You hear one shot and see one, no, two, no, thirty people with a gun and a spooky face? Who's the agressor? No time to guess as someone gets a bit too carried and begins shooting... and all in a sudden, there's a hundred stupid American shooting each other.
Would be a great way to reintroduce natural selection to the human race. We've been long overdue for that. |
