Not quite what you're asking, but I was an anti till I took high school US Government and realized that 2A was literally designed to be a protection for the people against not just criminals, but the government
Anyone else have an experience like this? My teacher was even a gigantic liberal who literally looked like John Green will probably look 20 years from now and somehow I still got it

More like cynical, paranoid and pretentious.

Thought polymer guns were asking for an explosively mangled hand. I learned it was true, just nowhere near as often as I thought.

No it was to keep an armed trained body of men ready to defend against foreign powers such as England then seen as the tyrannical government.

As a small child in non-freedoms country:

>before, growing up influenced by my antifunz Jewish mom: lol I don't need guns those are for rednecks, cops, and the military
>now: "shit, I need a bigger gun safe"
I grew up a fudd and always asked why anybody would need something like an AR-15 or daki
I now own both
>>30459281
Wait, $200?
For some reason I thought it was like $10,000
>>30459602

lol that feel. My better half gets so anxious when the guns are out despite being a great shot herself.
>>30458886
I used to think guns were pretty cool but now I think they're really cool.
>>30458886
Before I got into guns, I thought gun people were fat, stupid, angry, and generally all around assholes.
This is still mostly true. I do however enjoy my arsenal of fun
>>30459602
Grew up with a tacticool Glockfag dad and now appreciate milsurp/retro stuff.
First gun I ever shot.
>>30458886
Before I knew jackshit I though all rifles and pistols were laser beam accurate.
Then I started learning about cartrisges, ballistics and stuff and was like "I was a tard. This shit is way more indepth then I though."

Literally no. Any form of tyranny.

My dad shot black powder competitions and I learned to shoot on his sharps rifle. For the longest time, I thought that all guns would put up big clouds of smoke when fired.

I had a crossbow when I was a teenager, which I kept on top of my armoir in my room. She took it without me knowing one day and hid it, when I demanded it back she said she didn't feel safe with me having it because "what if it's sitting up there and it accidentally goes off"
>bitchWAT.tiff
Fast forward to now.
Visiting parents this summer and I'm in the garage getting a beer when I see it. She had stuffed it behind some boxes in a corner of the garage (which leaks when it rains), and as I pick it up, I realize that over the past 6ish years it's just been rusting, the strings were left on the limbs so now they're frayed and useless, this whole thing is fucking totaled
>I'm gonna put that bitch in a home
>>30464867
*she* being my mother. Forgive me lads, it's early.
>>30464867
....was it drawn when it was taken and stuffed in a corner?
Because that's how things accidentally themselves and just "go off"

?
Not really a misconception I had about guns, I was just terrified to even hold the things until I learned how to actually use them.
I used to think the majority of gun owners were Bubbas. Now I see that most gun owners are intelligent and crafty as fuck. The leftists who tout their humanities college degrees couldn't survive a day without civilization.
>>30458886
>freedom ain't free
>fuck I hope some dumbass doesn't do some dumbass shit and gets my ammo banned...fuck
such is my story of 7n6
>>30465376
like how the libruhls ask gun owners what they're so afraid of / why are you so paranoid, yet they're the ones that are apparently afraid to go outside in fear of being caught in a mass shooting
Used to think 1911's were real fuckin cool, then I realized they are real fuckin cool just not practical.
