I haven't owned a weapon since 1970 when I returned from Vietnam. But if Joe Biden is elected president I may purchase one. The crazy social justice people who have taken over the Democratic Party want to abolish the police, close prisons and stop prosecuting criminals; so Americans may be forced to defend themselves from criminals. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPYING 1 Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 I don't think I've gone 8 hours without picking up my gun, only time my gun isn't next to me is when I'm taking a shower, even when I'm sleeping or throwing the B O N E it's right next to me on the night stand, loaded with a round in the chamber & the safety on😁 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live in a up scale neighborhood, i own a auto repair shop & for houses 🏘️ i rent out, but you never know when shit is going to hit the fan. Better to have & not need, than need & not have. I don't plan on getting a flat tire, but i carry a spare tire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes you can argue the pros and cons of either system but you have to admit the scale of violence you get over in the USA there does not prevail in the majority of other country's. Yes, we in the Uk have crime, as does anybody else, but again its the scale which is rather frightening in the USA which most people do not understand. Guns and firearms are in your culture and while that is the case things will never improve but can or will get worse. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No offence meant pal I can assure you but maybe we don't understand your obsession with firearms when 99% of our general population wouldn't even think of owning any or see the need for it that's all. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know we rag each other off but was just stating my honest views. Don't get me wrong our family have spent many happy and enjoyable holidays in the states in past years and thoroughly enjoyed the experience and the people as many of your compatriots have visited us and had similar experiences. The whole world now i think is just going bloody mad everywhere and it is sad to hear and read of all the goings on with various peoples and cultures and i dread to think of how it will all end. I think us oldies may have had the best part but hope that is not the case if only for our kids and family's sake. Take care eh. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem in America is not the gun culture, the problem in America is the inner city crime culture. In the county where I grew up probably 75% or more of the homes had guns in them, I'm now 74 years old and the last murder I remember in that county happened in the 1950s, and that murder was committed by bank robbers who did not live in the county. The people of that county had and have strong family ties and moral values which are badly lacking with the criminals and gang members in the inner cities. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We love shooting our guns, we have everything from .22LR to 50BMG, it's a fun addiction but a little costly 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
