How to get your parents to let you buy an airsoft gun?
Money is not a problem, I am willing to buy it myself just I dont want to be the brat or evil guy and buy it without my parent's permission and have them get all angry and mostlikely tear up the house looking for it. I know hiding spots they dont or wouldnt think of but still not the way I wanna handle this situation. I might just buy one and have my friend hold on to it for a few years.
Why do gun rights advocates keep saying "guns don't kill people, people kill people"? Has one ever denied that a person pulls the trigger? What is the point of that statement? Bombs and Sarin "don't kill" as well, so should they also be allowed?
Not sure which argumentative/logical fallacy that is specifically, but there’s definitely something fundamentally incorrect with comparing the legality of an established right of gun ownership to chemical weapons and explosives.So here’s the deal. “Gun rights activists” don’t have to defend the existence of the 2nd amendment, the base position is that this constitutional amendment exists and will continue to exist. You’re (not you specifically) the one wanting to abolish it, and as such are burdened with making a reasonable plan of action and providing convincing rationale as to the benefits of so wildly deranging a unique facet of American society.2nd Amendment - guaranteed access to firearms pertaining to a well regulated militia. Nowadays regular citizens don’t have to protect themselves from redcoats nor worry about the possibility of internal tyrants much. However, there were no alterations of this amendment to keep up with and include the latest and most devastating death-dealing technology, no “right to bear functioning and armed tanks, mortars, rockets, military grade bio-chemical weapons”.No, Sarin and bombs should not be allowed. They are completely irrelevant to the 2nd amendment and gun ownership. Has a gun rights activist ever said that chemical weapons and bombs should be legal and obtainable?But what about cars and machetes? Should we ban those too? I mean they facilitate cold-blooded murder and terrorism right. *Sigh* if only we could regulate humans. BINGO. Get me a copy of 1984, call up the Dems and get that social engineering rolling, we’ll have these people drooling like docile sheep by the end of the century!
Why don't Americans get it that guns are dangerous?
Actually, I do get it. My guns are locked up at home. I transport them in a manner that exceeds standard. I even practice “finger off the trigger” and muzzle discipline with hand drills and spray bottlesSome years ago, I donated an hour of computer consulting time and a rifle lesson to a small local private school. In the super lefty hamlet of Hastings On Hudson, the rifle lesson draw a fury of bidding, exceeding that for my computer services.The winner was a class mom whose husband had wanted to try shooting for a long timeNow, I could have met him at the range, handed him a rifle, loaded it for him and said “have at it” Lots of informal instruction happens this way, without any legal issues or incicents. But that is not how I do thingsI did the opposite of casual: I emailed him a page of information - a summary of how the lesson would be conducted and the rules of safetyI arrived well ahead of him, got targets ready and signed us both in.When he arrived, I reiterated the safety rules and grabbed a broomstick. “The range manager’s desk is the shooting bench. Pretend this broomstick is the rifle. THIS is the direction it must point - downrange”.He nodded agreement. I put the broom back and went to the firing lineI showed him the mechanica of loading, unloading and cycling of the action with no live ammo.When I saw that he was safe, I started him shooting, with one round at a time at first, then working up to five rounds (my mags hold ten but limiting to five at a time conserves ammo and lends itself to more group analysis during a cease fire)All in all I enjoyed instructing him, and his wife told me he had a ballPS. It’s hard to read tone in a Quora posting so I would like to emphasize that Im not a “safety fascist”. I make the rules and procedures clear, and give gentle but firm encouragement and correction
As a gun owner, what is the most infuriating thing you’ve heard someone say about gun owners as a whole?
Several things in one sentence makes me infuriated actually:The AR-15 is a dangerous Military Assault Weapon and NO ONE should have one!First, instead of just spewing out pee-heard BS that CNN or Salon chucks at you like ballistic sh!t. Do your research on weapons like the AR-15Second, the AR-15 has been used by the military but so what. Everyone doesn’t have a problem with shotguns, but they have seen more military action before Maxim machine gun.Third: The AR-15 Just looks like a scary gun. If you see a picture of any gun from the Wolfenstein or Doom series, (great video games by the way) they are pretty intimidating. But when people’s brains (people who have never handled a gun like that in their life and don’t know the responsibility/training owners have to go through to aquire and use such a weapon), see what those guns can do, and then when they see the headline of a mass-shooter gunning students down with an AR-15, unrealistically compare to the fake guns of video games, movies (damn you Hollywood), or TV shows, to what actual firearms are capable of, then we have a ignorance problem spurred up by fear and a searching for a scapegoat is a necessity.Fourth, Assault weapons/guns/firearms, call them what you will, is a made up term, used as a general classification that can be used to describe a gun from anyone’s perspective.Example:In Massachusetts, they label an assault weapon is a firearm that is made up of synthetic alloy that has a telescopic stock, and/or a pistol grip. Same in Nevada, New York, and only God knows what California defines it as.Finaly, the second amendment ensures my right to own a gun (any gun of my choosing) to protect the will of the people, and if the government tries to take away our guns, then that’s the first sign of tyranny, and I’ll be damned sure that I join a militia a soon as possible, just to protect myself, and the American people.
