Can someone please tell me why guns are cool? I don't understand the obsession or appeal.
And don't even say it's a sport.
>>29698548
Go shoot one and report back.
>>29698548
Why is [whatever you think is cool] cool, OP?
>>29698548
>how I know you've never fired a gun before
People like different things. I'm not going to say you should or shouldn't like something and I'm not going to justify why. I just do
>>29698548
It's a sport, sport.
>>29698548
Well, it's really not about guns being cool. Shooting is just a sport.
>>29698566
>>29698557
There are plenty of people who don't like shooting guns
Sucking dick isn't a sport, but OP would still go to the Olympics.
>>29698548
It's something that anons have control over in their sad unfulfilled lives
>>29698548
Goddamn.

>>29698595
And there are plenty of people who do.
Just sayin', if you want to learn more about a thing the best way is often to try it out. If you still don't like it then that's fine - you do your thing and we'll do ours.

This is pretty much the only answer.
And do it in an environtment where you can actually shoot something fun other than paper, go blow holes in mud or something.
>>29698557
This. I shot a sporting clays with an o/u for one fucking afternoon and now I lurk /k/ every day.
Historically interesting.
Mechanically interesting.
Practical to have.
Fun to shoot.
If someone can't be trusted with a firearm after drilling the golden safety rules into their heads, then they can't be trusted to be out in society as a whole.
>>29698595
I only don't do it cause I'm a poorfag college student who has to deal with out of state tuition to boot. But goddamn, the kick from my nugget makes me cum every time.
>le ebin maymay rifle xDDD
I got one cause a friend let me shoot his when I first started shooting, and just loved every little bit of it. bolt actions, or well, any kind of manual action firearms are just the funnest things in the world, down to just reloading them
OP here, don't you guys feel bad about maintaining a hobby that leaves so many innocent people dead?
Inb4 4chan's typical response of gang related shootings and blaming blacks. You'd probably be more likely to care if all of the 30,000 deaths were whites.
>>29699635
>>29699635
Shooting people - be they gang members, criminals, or innocent homeowners - is not a hobby I partake in.
Shooting targets, or hunting, and being very safe in the process, is a hobby that kills very very few innocent people and I don't feel bad about it at all.
>>29699635

Why are cars cool? They're just enclosed rolling chairs.
Why do people like music? It's just a jumble of sounds put together.
Why are movies cool? They're just a bunch of pictures put together in sequence.
Why do people on this board like traps? It's just dudes in panties.
Why do people use 4chan? It's just a bunch of no-lifes who argue over shitposts like these.
>>29699635
Nope. We dindu nuffin.
>>29698548
I don't know man they're kind of fun to shoot at stuff
also watching actions in slow motion gets me hard

Agreed. She looks like a fun lay.
>>29699635
Let me guess, you're one of those people that thinks self defense is wrong too? As a hobby no, I don't run around shooting children and black people. I shoot paper, and a lot of people hunt. How are target shooting and hunting not sports, OP?
>>29699744
>meaningless
Are you serious? Every shooter is a law abiding gun owner until he isn't. Are you saying that the deaths brought on by these "law abiding gun owners" are meaningless?
>>29699692
So everyone is a criminal because they could become one at anytime
>>29699776
You're painting with a brush so broad you're encompassing the entire known universe, friendo.
You're just as law-abiding as the rest of us, until you're not. Maybe we should just get rid of anything that could potentially cause harm and live inside big padded cells.
Damn fucking right it's meaningless.
>>29699779
If there weren't guns, you'd be less likely to become a criminal

>>29699635
Whites can be criminals too. Turns out, being a shitty person and being capable of doing evil deeds isn't something exclusive to blacks and spics. It's something that's well documented throughout history.
And no, I don't feel bad about it, and don't care. It sucks for them, but life ain't easy, and shit happens.
I'm not white, and came from a true police state and have worked hard to get to where I'm at. I know what tyranny is first hand, and will never let my guns go. The only morons who think we don't need guns, or think that guns are evil, or that it's bad to partake in this hobby and natural born right, are the morons who've led a cushy life and don't know what real hardships and real struggle are. So fuck off.
>>29699803
And if a group of disgruntled youth come by with their baseball bats and hammer, and club/beat you and your family to a pulp and flee before police can arrive. Then what? I fear that owning a bat may make people just randomly start clubbing sea-err...children to death. Think of the chilluns! We're practically handing them weapons to slaughter innocent people every day!!
>>29699880
Dude, did you know that those people buying gasoline and beer bottles could turn them into incendiary weapons? Better ban those!
Fuck, you could make a sling out of your boot laces, too. Hope you like velcro and sandals!
>>29699803
That's a load of shit, and I know you're baiting, but I don't care. Does having knives make me a criminal? Do I want to magically kill because I have a bunch of knives, bats, lead pipes, cars, anything else lying around? No.
>>29699692
And that proliferation is good, and it's for our safety. Do you think women shouldn't have the right to fight back against a rapist? What about the disabled? What about someone with heart issues/asthma/anything else? We all have the right to our lives, and the right to fight for them. Fuck off with your bullshit attitude. I bet you've never actually had a gun held to your head. Because I have, and I know what it means to be unarmed, and the potential for catastrophe that it carries with it.
>>29698548
I like the history behind them. When I shoot a rifle like my Gewehr 98, I know that I hold a piece of history in my hands.
A rifle that was made when the world was on fire.
A rifle made when men killed men in the thousands each day.
A rifle that was held in the hands of a man who slept in mud, ate rat, and shit in a hole next to the bodies of his dead comrades.
The rifle I hold in my hands has shot at men, other human beings, for being from the wrong country.
The rifle I hold in my hands has been working without any replacement parts for a hundred years.
My rifle was made when killing men was a sport.
When I pull the trigger and send a bullet down-range, I know that I am keeping history alive.
History is my passion, the firearms used during that time is my obsession.
If you don't understand that then go back to your reality tv shows and gossip magazines.
>>29699899
Why would people just hand out so many weapons?! It makes me sick! I'm gonna go hide my fear with 3 cakes, some cheeseburgers, and ranting on my twitter page! smhfambalamtbgfhyoloswag

>>29698548
I am deathly afraid of guns, that the idea of ending a life with the squeeze of a single finger is terrifying. It's why I won't have one in my house even if it was for protection. Ironically I am suicidal and yet afraid of death and what follows at the same time.

Fucking troll bait thread, but in real life, whenever I meet an anti gun person, I ask what are they afraid of, and if they have ever shot a gun before, if they haven't shot a gun before I offer to take them shooting...and if they take up the offer, 100% after going shooting, they become pro gun.

This. I shook Grant Imahara's hand at Comic con, it was like shaking a dead fish. I felt as if I was going to crush his hand with mine without even trying. It was so pathetic because I looked up to the man because he was able to build things that made me wish I was able to. But all that respect for him was washed away with one shake of the hand.

Far less likely to care more. Gun violence doesnt bother me, people and their fucked up morals bother me. Which is all the more reason to own a gun
>>29701149the reason being is because the hot ones really don't have to work at it. Big or ugly girls know they're big or ugly and there for will do fucking anything for a good lay
>>29698548
1) because they are powerful. They can take life or cause destruction remotely. Its the same reason fireworks are cool. Or why people had a fascination with "will it blend" on YouTube. Its seeing something be reduced, destroyed through the application of physics and chemistry. However, unlike fireworks firearms are controllable and repeatable. You can apply that destruction in a precise way. People like to say that guns are phallic, a symbol of SEXUAL power, that is just Freud being wrong about everything. What they are is a symbol of GENERAL power, of mans mastery over the physical world, brought into a handheld version.
2) they are complex and intricate engineering marvels. People like cars, planes, watches, trains, tanks and other mechanical things because of their complexity and design. People like guns for the same reason, they are moving works of human ingenuity. Thousands of years of chemistry and metallurgy culminated in that firearm, it is a thing of beauty in that way.
3) Firearms help to make a man self-sufficient. If a man can kill a deer he can provide for his family. That ego boost of KNOWING he is a true man is fulfilling even in a society where abundant food exists. There are countless pills to make your dick bigger or harder or whatever. These play on the exceptionally common fear of man not being a REAL man. Once again, the gun doesn't have anything to do with his dick, but a man who feels like he could care for his family in any situation is a happier more secure man.
4) Self-Defense. Humans are scared of the dark, of deep water, of insects and snakes. We fear these things because our ancestors feared the true danger of these things. Guns give us the means of protection to make us feel safe.
5) Sporting. Go shoot some clay pigeons and tell me that it wasn't fun. A lot of people enjoy shooting sports for the same reasons people like bowling, golf, curling or any other number of individual precision sports.
>>29698548
It is a sport, what are you going to do faggot, shoot me?

Nothing. Nothing comes after. You die, everything goes black, maybe it hurts maybe it doesn't and then nothing. Or maybe there's a lake of fire or a bunch of fags playing harps and shit. Nobody knows, nobody's going to know and it doesn't matter if they did because you'll die anyway.
Now calm down and enjoy your life.

I think you responded to the wrong post, mate.
>>29698595
This
I shot a rifle at a target and was totally unimpressed. It just vibrates, smells bad, and makes holes. Shooting fruit and an old x-box felt the same. I never felt the power. Maybe our mistake was not using soda.
My pistol experience was more interesting because you have to master technique to get good results. I found out I have woman wrists though. I do everything competition shooters say to do but I can't seem to lock my wrists, 9mm flips almost 45 degrees and ruins my grip. If I was teacupping like a retard I sware it would fly out of my hands.
I really want to try shooting clay pigeons or long distance shooting. If I don't have fun with that I'll just be sad.

In medieval HRE, when a vote was being held on something (election or not), you had to bring a weapon to the poll to prove you were not a serf.
Because a man unable to take up arms in his own defense is a dependent, not a citizen.
I will always own a weapon because owning a weapon is a rejection of the idea that the state has a monopoly on ethical violence, a concept that is bullshit for a multitude of reasons.
>>29698548
Because guns are symbolic of the freedoms that our veterans and active duty soldiers have fought to protect, because they are cool, because they are useful for protection and sport, and because they are awesome
Who thought it'd be a good idea giving a Giraffe guns?
okay so i'm a lefty, and I have loved guns since i was a kid.
my parents tried everything to break me of this love, but it all failed, ridcule, exposure to nightly vietnam war stories, my parents tried everything.
something about firearms just makes my brain work a little better, i do most of my math in terms of firearms, they just make sense. I love everything about them from the smell of gun oil, to the sulfur smell of burnt powder.
i love there clever mechanisms and the zen of cleaning them after they are fired.

It's true that you may never need a gun. But knowing how to safely operate a gun and use it effectively will 100% make you and the people around you safer.
If that just means packing up grandpa's loaded pistol after his heart attack, it's still a good skill to have.
Also, guns are the individual's weapon of our time period. Used to be swords and shit, now it's guns. We advanced as a species because we sought out the most advanced weaponry.
