I own 2, the first I didn't want, the 2nd, I bought because of logistics and to show support for the 2nd amendment, they are both shotguns, the first is a single shot, the 2nd is a pump action, giving me better capacity as well as a warning to anyone illegally in my home, you hear that "clack clack" sound, you better run home and change your shitty pants or you might not make it home, because you (not YOU but a criminal) will end up in cuffs or a body bag
I can understand this, im a gun hater, I hate guns(yet I have some, figure that out). the reason for having guns isn't just one reason, but it varying reasons, the best being defense. defense of ones home from an intruder, I could give you links to youtube pages where a gun saved a life, and one where the victim of a rape would have likely not been raped, which would illustrate the need if for no more reason than it took 6 minutes for the cops to arrive, and by that time this poor woman, just out of a hospital, was thrown on a table, panties ripped off, and penetrated, the cops had to pull him off and out of her. in our case there are reports of meth labs in the area, and methheads aren't known for thinking right, so it makes sense to be armed, plus we have varmints, and any day I might have to put down a rabid animal, or something attacking our pets. the last is the purpose of the 2nd amendment, its not just to protect us from crime, but the founders knew that our government can become tyrannical, and its even been said that the tree of liberty from time to time must be watered with the blood of patriots and tyrants, tyranny and freedom cant exist together and having guns, having the right to them, represents freedom. freedom to never touch a gun in your life if that is your wish, and the freedom to change your mind, if you wish, to have a nice juicy steak, all the fixin's and to believe whatever it is you believe. I don't know how I come off in this, I don't mean to sound like im trying to push anything, that aint my intention, all I mean to do is give something to think about, and ill leave it at that.
