        I do not own a gun and never want to. But I have little problem with other people responsibly using guns, and I think guns are fun.

          I wouldn't even know where to get a gun from. I'm middle class and I don't live in south London. I've never even seen a gun in real life before.
          Exult in your existence, because that very process has blundered unwittingly on its own negation. Only a small, local negation, to be sure: only one species, and only a minority of that species; but there lies hope. [...] Stand tall, Bipedal Ape. The shark may outswim you, the cheetah outrun you, the swift outfly you, the capuchin outclimb you, the elephant outpower you, the redwood outlast you. But you have the biggest gifts of all: the gift of understanding the ruthlessly cruel process that gave us all existence [and the] gift of revulsion against its implications.
          -Richard Dawkins

            Sold my hunting rifle years ago. Still have a cheap SKS with modified swappable clips, plus lots of strip-clips.

              Used to own a single-shot hunting rifle, my 13th birthday present. Used to go hunting and target shooting with my Dad.

              Got rid of it about 20 years ago.

                Don't own any, and while I do want one, I refuse to get one.

                  I don't own one, since I'm in the city. Well, even if I were in the country, I doubt I'd own one, since I wasn't brought up in a household that had them.

                  But my sister and her husband just built their 14 year-old son a really nice gun cabinet. I helped them move it to the living room to be "under the tree" on Christmas Eve. Their family also uses hunting bows and muzzle-loaders.
                  I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

                      You pick a hell of a time to show restraint.
                      Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away.

                        Just a different world. They have lots of places to hunt and it makes no sense at all to infringe on that way of life.

                          What about my grenade launcher, don't you want to know about that? It's attached to my tank which is a nice conversation piece too.

                          Actually I'd like to have a nice shiney new Bradley.

                            There are guys that own historical tanks. There's a guy in the midwest has a Tiger, very cool.

                              The only problem with that is I doubt there are any EZ payment plans for a Bradley.

                                You could just petition the U.S. government to give you a tank or something. Seems to work for everyone else.
