I hate people who treat them like some toys and fantasize about them. That makes me think they are in some sort of death cult. That they found socially acceptable way to love violence.
I would still get one for safety but it is a tool made for specifically one thing. To pierce the skin and rip through the inner organs of a person.
They can serve a good purpose but they are fundamentally grim tools of pain and suffering. They shouldn’t be celebrated and glorified in their own right, that is sick. They can be used to preserve something precious but at a price to pay.
You’re right. Most of the issues with guns aren’t with someone who keeps one to protect themselves from a wild animal, it’s those who keep them to… those who have semi automatics and live in suburbia and fetishish the idea of someone?? breaking into their home so they can use their big, fancy, killing weapon??
Like… They have a perceived threat that’s never going to happen and yet they keep this murder tool under the guise of protection when it’s really just something they think is cool, but is also something that is more likely going to be fatal to themselves and their family than to an intruder.
