I do not believe hoarding guns and Chef Boyardi is a rational response to anything tbh.

I don't understand why anyone wouldn't own a gun if they were allowed to. Seems fucking mental to deprive yourself of one.

I'd love to own a gun but I'd rather lose that right than have guns available to most people in the country.

I think of gun enthusiasts the same way I think about idiots with gigantic lifted pickups.

You want gun protection.. get a full auto tricked out paintball gun and blast a motherfucker with 500 rounds in 10 seconds. You can keep the frozen ammo in your mini fridge's freezer with your ice cream sandwiches.

I'd wager that the number of extremely responsible gun owners far outweighs the number of idiots with guns. You'd also be surprised at the large number of people you come across in your daily life that own a gun(s).

About a third of adult Americans own a gun.

Side note: Going to a range and shooting stuff is pretty damn fun!

What about chicks with dozens of tattoos?

If a person has a hobby you don't agree with that makes them an idiot?

One third of Americans own a gun. There should be a hell of a lot more gun mayhem going on on a daily basis across the country if my "assumption" isn't correct.
