I thought liberals were supposed to be free spirited and open minded. Right, someone who has a gun MUST be planning to kill someone, because that's all a gun is used for.
There are many reasons to own a firearm. You maybe choose to own one purely for sporting purposes, or to put meat on the table. While I am deeply interested in the sporting purpose of my firearms I am completely prepared to defend myself, my loved ones, my properties, or my rights as an American. So while I have many plans it is my hope I will not have to act on them.
So many people just fail to see the use of firearms beyond killing people. I blame the liberal media.
I don't know where the myth came from that liberals are open-minded. They are the least open-minded people on earth. They over-simplify everything and will believe anything they're told by their handlers. They're quite dangerous in that respect.
While there are many uses for firearms such as target shooting, competition, hunting, and recreation the primary usage is for killing. If this were not so then there would be no need for the second amendment. I think as a gun owning American you need to be OK with this. The anti's will always use the argument that guns are for killing. I think if we agree we take their biggest argument away from them. While it is used by scum fuck criminals to kill innocent people it is necessary for citizens to be able to have the ability to utilize deadly force as a deterrent or to give them a chance against said criminals. This same deterrent is also necessary to make sure the government never oversteps it's bound and the people have no means to stand up to their tyranny. Freedom is not something guaranteed by God, King, or Law. Freedom is something good people must provide for themselves by proficiency at arms.
A+ response. I agree. Our freedoms were fought for and won by the founders of this nation. And how they fought was with a rifle in their hands.
