Guns are illegal and my Dad says they're bad.
Which sucks because I really want a gold plated AK-47 with ACOG scope, foregrip, folding stock, laser-sight, flashlight, grenade launcher, tacticool rails, a tactical spoon attachment and some hello kitty stickers!!
Don't forget, for your Remington/Mossenberg, my little pony rainbows, clouds, ponies and blues on the stock and every single non-vital piece there is. (my dream skin :D.)
What idiot would gold-plate his/her weapons anyway? Doesn't make you look more intimidating, just makes you look like a hapless richard who knows absolutely nothing about firearms other than "pull trigger, maek b00m b00m".. likely from cowadoody.
Besides, gold shines like a mofo and in darkness/ambush prep would give you and your team away.
I don't see the fuss about buying a gun when you're not going to use it as intended, killing something.
Some (like myself) like to go down to the range and shoot some steel plates. Think archery, that's a sport that tests accuracy and skill and such... except if you miss, depending on the gun you're using there's going to be a 1/4-foot-deep crater where the shot landed OR there's going to be a(n) bullet hole(s) in whatever was behind your target.
Guns are the most practical choice for home defense anyway. When people see guns pointed at them, it sparks a battle of psychological warfare. Nobody wants to die or feel a lump of lead rip through a bunch of nerves all in a split second, therefore could scare the trespasser away. If not, pump a few into non-vital limbs and see if he's still standing/eager to rob/kill/rape your family.
Which, in that case, would buy time to call the authorities.
ITT: self- and home- defense?
