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.

    Some are for designed with animal hunting in mind, some for hurting people, and some for target sports

    The same was once said about dogs; but then we learned.

      I can honestly say that I have no idea what you mean by this. Are you pro gun, or anti dog? Do you think that guns aren’t designed with a purpose, or that there’s some other purpose beyond shooting at people, shooting at animals, or shooting for fun? Companion firearms?

      I’m trying to guess but I honestly don’t know.
