That has to be the most ignorant thing I\'ve heard in a while. You know, some people buy them for sport just like shooting a bow and arrow. I\'m eventually gonna buy a couple rifles one day. Am I gonna go on a shooting rampage? No. What am I gonna do with it? Hunt and go to the shooting range. Why? Because I find shooting rifles and shotguns to be quite fun. Anti-gun people piss me off. Its my right as an American to own and fire one. Don\'t tell me I\'m gonna kill myself with one because I just have a bigger chance on getting killed in my car. If you are responsible, firearms are quite safe.
Lots to talk about here...
First off, if you are in need of a gun in the middle of the night how do you intend to get it in time? You hear a crash (if your burglar is a dumb fuck) and you immediately hop up, run to the closet, open your case? Not only is that improbable, but if it were true it would be stupid. How many times have you woken up to a bang and automatically think it\'s a burglar? It could be a million different things.
If you\'re thinking off not being safe with it and leaving it in the open, say on your nightstand or under your pillow, then you\'re asking for trouble. If you don\'t ever touch it that doesn\'t mean someone wont pick it up and start looking at it when you aren\'t around.
Guns are an obsession in America, there are plenty of statistics that support that statement. It\'s time every macho guy swallows their pride and realize it\'s not usually worth it.
By the way, killing animals for sport is pitiful. It\'s a sad display of humanity. Because you have a gun, it doesn\'t matter if the animal has a right to live or not. But that\'s another subject, but not suprisingly these trigger happy mother fuckers are the same small dicked people that must own 6 or 7 different guns.
