5.8 Million More People Hit The Gun Range Than the Golf Course In 2008 In The U.S. - Polidicks

[QUOTE=Broseph_;22227478]Dude I recognize my mortality every single fucking day, that why I would never fucking break into a house since you never know if the person who lives inside has more guns then teeth and a itchy trigger finger, and a extreme lack of trigger discipline. Also as I said, It would suck to find out you killed a unarmed person[/QUOTE] The person who breaks into your house is an idiot, no one disagrees. However, they made a mistake, and why are you the one to dictate death as a punishment? The problem here is that you're violating the whole thing US law stands for, simply because it's your house.

He as a adult knew before hand of the possible consequences from breaking into someone's house, be it prison, or be it a load of buckshot, he is responsible for his own actions, and anything that's the results of said action, simply because he's on the bad end of things does not make it a fucking mistake, what about me? the person he is committing the crime against? Do I have no ability to to stop what he is committing to me? The prevention of harm and distress he has caused to me ether directly or indirectly? The fucking world isn't full of sunshine and rainbows.

If we lived in America, he may have been killed that night and the homeowner would have got off scot-free. That's not justice, that's barbarianism.

That's not justice, that's barbarianism.[/QUOTE] Most people wouldn't shoot, they'd just intimidate, anyone who shoots someone that doesn't show any signs of aggression and just wants to leave is a horrible person, holding them there until the police arrive is understandable though. Not everybody is as trigger happy as you guys seem to think, nor are the criminals huggable teddy bears that aren't aware of what might happen when they try to steal another persons shit. And how exactly do you stumble into a wrong house? Do all of the people in the area leave their doors unlocked at night or something?

Shooting guns is fun and all, but it's really a stupid hobby when you think about how much ammo costs and how limited your targets are. XD I don't I had fun shooting an military grade M16 with my dad even though the recoil hurt my bewbs. XD Also, I'm a vegetarian so animal hunting is a definite no (although I might make an exception for buffalo. Those fuckers are ugly).

I love golf. I have no interest in firing a weapon, nor do I wish weapons to be legalised (UK).

[QUOTE=ProboardslolV2;22223762]I have a gun. When you can only shoot at targets, it gets boring really fast, so I can't imagine what the appeal is behind it.[/QUOTE] Some people think that. But i feel that it's a game of constant improvement. Shoot, adjust, shoot, adjust, shoot, until your aim is dead on. Then you tear the middle out of the target completely! And when you're done with that, move the target back more, repeat! :haw: With enough ammo and practice you can go out to crazy distances and hit the target every time.

Clay pidgeon shooting is damn addictive.

YEEE'HAW! *shoots a six shot in the air* [editline]07:14AM[/editline] [QUOTE=BANNED USER;22227105]Differences between GOLFING and SHOOTING. 1. Shooting is actually FUN [B]Golf can be fun to.[/B] 2. Shooting doesn't require a membership to a country club, or having to pay 100 bucks for a round. [B]You ever heard of a Tee-Off Range? You can play for twenty bucks ,and get a big bucket of practice balls.[/B] 3. There is no dress code involved for shooting, for golf you need slacks and collared shirts, which aren't very comfortable in hot weather. [B]Bullshit. I wear around collared shirts all the time ,and a good majority of those are black. (I live in Arizona)[/B] 4. Golf is generally a retiree sport, where shooting at a gun range is fun for everyone. [B]What...? I've been golfing since I was five. My max yardage is 160 yards on the first swing.[/B][/QUOTE] [editline]07:15AM[/editline] [QUOTE=JDK721v2;22227253]lol in the immigration thread right? sgt. sgt. thinks you can just gun down someone solely if they break into your home :cawg:[/QUOTE] If you fire a warning shot ,and he/she doesn't leave.

You do realize that firing randomly poses a rather substantial risk to completely innocent people right?

[QUOTE=JoeSkylynx;22257557]Not sure mate. I remember seeing a law if you own the property it's legal, but I'm not sure...[/QUOTE] No it depends, you can just go shoot a gun in your area due to you owning the land. You have people next to you so they can report it. But if someone is in your house and you shoot a warning shot i don't believe it is a problem. Its one shot, it could have been in the guy robbing the house instead. But no someone fired a warning shot and now they got a hole in their wall.

[QUOTE=archangel125;22224412]Guns should be handled by civilian law enforcement, private security contractors, and the military. If civilians MUST owned guns, they should be stored at the local gun range under heavy guard. The odds of a crime being committed against you in which owning a personal defense weapon would be useful are very, very low.[/QUOTE] Most police officers who have been on the job for a few years inside the United States WANT civilians to have firearms. Nobody is more aware of the fact that police are not omnipotent and will almost universally arrive after the crime has been completed and the damage done. The statistics about home defense and self defense shootings are higher than anyone seems to believe. Furthermore countries with firearms in the hands of civilians have a fraction of the home invasion rates of other nations. I mean Jesus, you live in Canada, your nation has off the charts rape incidents. Rape is the poster child for concealed carry of firearms as it allows a physically weak or average victim to immediately level or, more likely, take control of, a playing field.

I know I'd rather head to the gun range rather than the golf range if I were given the choice.

[QUOTE=archangel125;22224027]Watch "Bowling for Columbine" by Micheal Moore. You may find some things in it interesting.[/QUOTE] too bad the whole thing is faked and all of his guests are paid and lied to. Shooting victim Mark Taylor - "I had no idea what Moore's agenda was. And he had an agenda. He had it all planned out, completely. I believe that every American has the right to have a gun. We should have the right to protect ourselves." "He lied to me on so many levels. He said that if I would be in his movie, he'd get me in front of the right people, help me make my own movies. He made promise after promise.... Man, he is something. You'd have to get to know him on a personal level." [editline]09:22AM[/editline] [QUOTE=archangel125;22224321]I've fired rifles before in training. Well, rifle. The C7. I don't like it at all. Oh, it feels great when you feel it kick against your shoulder and see a nice neat hole appear in the center of your paper target's chest, but I use it with care and only handle it when I absolutely must. Stereotypical NRA members, many of whom are decades older than me, don't seem mature enough to appreciate a gun for what it is. Modern firearms are tools that have been designed and perfected for one and only one purpose - to kill. Whether hunting rifle, machine gun, assault rifle, sniper rifle, machine pistol, SMG or handgun, they were made to kill another human being or animal in the most efficient, messy way possible. But no, to most of the people in the NRA, it's all about making them feel more badass. Just a poorly veiled attempt to compensate for their poor sex lives. They must all have tiny penises or be impotent.[/QUOTE] lol an M16, no wonder you're anti gun

I prefer golf, thanks.
