peterms Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 29 minutes ago, sne said: In a move that will no doubt cause outrage, protests and calls for boycotts from NRA-nuts retail chain Walmart will stop selling ammunition for certain weapons after the latest couple of mass shootings. I've heard they will also sell heavy duty bandages, and offer thoughts and prayers, though that seems to be going a bit too far. No need to get carried away. Well, unless you're a victim, I suppose.

Seat68 Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 The first time I went in a Walmart, ammunition didn't raise an eyebrow, it was live animals that I thought was weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maqroll Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 I flirted with the idea of getting a gun after a couple of menacing incidents at a bar I worked at years ago. I took the gun course and was issued a permit. I never bought a gun, and i'm glad I didn't. I needed additional training, honestly. The 2 hour training course was a joke. The trigger on the revolver I was shooting was a hair trigger and i could've hurt someone. I also dealt with a severe bout of social anxiety and depression a couple of years later and was briefly hopeless to the point of possible self harm. Glad I didn't have a gun. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colhint Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 Similar to a friend of mine. He was carjacked in South Africa. Got himself a gun. So much worry in the house, with kids around, he was more scared than without one. He got rid after a couple of months. Mind you I can understand someone in remote areas having one. But not automatic, no way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slim i know. I've got no problem with people "Anti Gun" or "I wouldn't own one etc.." No problem at all. I find some people have an issue with a personal legal choice of me exercising a right. That what always gets me! I am supposed to understand 'the other side' and when i say, fair enough personal choice etc.. some people (not you, i don't think!), have a pop, and i'm like, okkkkkkkkkkkk. I used to have a firearms enthusiast thread, but stopped posting it, because it got hijacked, despite pming asking mods, and posting several disclaimers, that if you didnt like firearms, target shooting etc... then why would you be in it!? Same with this thread, I feel the lack of understanding of law abiding citizens want and right to exercise a legal option for self defense is stopping a real dialogue within the US. It feels like Gun owner=Bad Gun owner. I don't have the solutions, but its nice to be able to have a point of view without being ridiculed for it.

These are both massive points. The gun related suicide rates in the US are beyond insane, and it makes it too easy for someone to end it. The training is another. Even some highly trained police offers and even those in the armed forces are likely not fully prepared to handle a weapon appropriately - some guy on the street certainly isn't. Leave the protection to those who are paid and trained to protect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
