Don't worry. The NRA has you by the balls with their fake horror stories. You're a sheep with a gun. Congrats.

There are more guns than people. I think rednecks need a new boogeyman
TheLadyChasing
Why does everyone assume only the Reds have guns? I live in a blue area of NY and everyone I know is armed, including me.
OlanDyurai
Turns out, we use them for sport. You just happen to fear them due to a lack of understanding how they operate.
TheOnlyOriginalScreenNameLeft
Not safe in CA still.
Rayfasa
Best immediate benefits of trump winning, ammo prices won't spike and it won't be sold out either. 10-12$ for 100 .22 rounds is ridiculous.
Fahargo
WTF? Ten cents a bullet? Me and my dad used to go threw 500 of them in like 50 minutes
WiqidBritt
You ever get the feeling that if a dem prez didn't take your guns away in the 8 years he was in office maybe it means he was never going to?
RangeDay
A lot of us weren't afraid of him taking our guns but restricting what we can buy. He tried and was very vocal when the majority voted no.

I can't see the safety well enough to tell if you are lying.
madetheaccountjustforyou
Yes, this was posted on November 9th. Multiple times. Why post it on Nov 12th?
Ark161
8 years and no one ever came to take them away, just media incited panic for all.
goochthecat
And, you know, all the attempts to ban them, which we successfully stopped, blocked, and sued away.
Ark161
As a gun owner, I can say with 99% certainty that it was never going to be a thing...people just freak out because the news said so.
shitbagactual
+4 for not keeping it condition 4
Meeeeyo
That's when they're the most dangerous. When they are useless.
KingLost
You've always been safe
AngryGroundhog
Oh i get it. Because you bought that NRA bullshit about Hillary taking away your guns? Just like Obama was gonna?
KaJuN
Not necessarily take them away but chip away gun rights bit by bit until there's nothing left.
SlackerTactical
you could argue it was the work of the NRA that prevented this, just like vaccines prevent certain disease.
sweetmoses
Except that neither Obama nor Hillary ever claimed they wanted to take anybody's gun. It's just a lie the NRA tells you idiots to sell guns
SlackerTactical
But they have praised Australia's gun control laws as a model for US law. That would include, among other things, confiscation.
sweetmoses
Nope. They both praised Australia for doing SOMETHING about guns. But both of them have said confiscation in America is a conspiracy theory
SlackerTactical
and cannot be passed down. once the owner dies, the rifle will be taken by the NY State police.
SlackerTactical
except thats wrong too. California confiscated SKS rifles, and NY currently has a de facto confiscation on ar-15 rifles. cant be bought
Icareyouasshole
Remember, the second ammendment wasn't made for self defense, but to possibly overthrow a future corrupt government.
TheFluffyFury
2nd Amendment actually exists to allow states to keep law and order without needing the Federal government all the time.
Smackthegreat
Its a little bit of both. Moreso self defense of individuals than the govt. especially considering the social climate we are in.
ameki
"It's okay little buddy, nobodys gonna take you away. Wanna go to a family restaurant?" *Enthusiastic front sight wagging

BrianBoyko
Yeah, now don't you feel ridiculous for thinking Obama would take away your guns? Also, how's losing the food stamps?
Poxopi
America needs more gun restrictions.
2xpencive4u
No it doesn't.
Poxopi
Uhhhh yes it does
Redrunner36
No it doesn't. Law abiding citizens don't need to be hindered with more laws that end up helping criminals find softer targets.
Poxopi
You're right more guns are the answers to the thousands of lives being lost by gun violence /1
Poxopi
An epidemic that obviously affects European countries too
2xpencive4u
Nor does placing more restrictions on law abiding citizens when criminals will gain access to illegal arms anyways if they wanted.
2xpencive4u
and not my fault most gun violence is due to degenerate gang culture resulting in a huge percentage of this "Gun violence" you refer to /2
Poxopi
Well actually that's only partially true, if you limit the number of guns manufactured 1/
Poxopi
So yes tighter gun restrictions could actually hell
alonzoftw
Sorry but gun laws don't prevent criminals from getting them.
Poxopi
Yes they do, when was the last mass shooting in London? Certainly not as recently as the last mass shooting in an American city.
alonzoftw
Those weapons involved were fully automatic rifles, which are illegal. How well did the laws protect the victims from that?
ChicagoStyleDotHog
Nah. NRA is still gonna play you gun owners like a fiddle.
goochthecat
The NRA responds to the demands of its members. Nobody us getting played but people who don't understand it.
goochthecat
Do you think we don't like buying weapons and accessories? Do you think we don't want to support gun makers?
Completelyoriginalusername
True, they convince their members they need things that the gun companies want them to buy.
goochthecat
Do you think we don't want to buy those products? Do you think we don't like supporting the makers of the things we like?
fuckingtnuc
A lot of us "gun owners" aren't being played like a fiddle. Not every one is a single issue voter. Voting this year was painful though
Occasionalfunnycomment
I agree I was all like maybe I'll give Gary a try (read about him) maybe Jill (read about wifi and vaccinations) nope.
LordNoodles
There was no fiddle this year, we got an accordion and didn't know what to do
sweetmoses
If you think someone could or wants to come take your guns, then you've been played
ChicagoStyleDotHog
Freal. This.
fuckingtnuc
Come and take them? No. But Hillary has backed some shit gun laws. Bernie was a lot more selective when it came to that. I voted for him...
fuckingtnuc
In the primaries. Her (vomit), on the 8th. Politicians like her have a legacy to create. They're more willing to push for laws that don't...
fuckingtnuc
Don't even contribute to the cause, but will add to her legacy due to the political leanings. Same with republican and pro-life
MrBuddhaBond
Okay so I'm British, and I'm just wondering if someone is nice enough to explain to me what appears to be an American fascination with guns?
Mimsey
America was founded by the gun. Expanded by the gun. Saved from depressed by the gun. Then became a world power with it. Guns = America.
azmyth1
BLAM! BLAM! BLAM! BLAM! BLAM!
Dude98271
The second amendment of our constitution affirms our right to keep and bear arms. So citizens would be able to defend ourselves against harm
Cataleast
I am also legally allowed to keep firearms, however I don't. The right to bear arms doesn't explain the somewhat prevalent desire to do so.
Rocket350
We have the right to have them. It's freedom. It's 'merica.
NotAPervert
It's the one right that helps defend all others. Anything else relies on the kindness or aversion to inconvenience of politicians.
SAWhowhatnow
They make people with a micro penis feel like they have a regular penis.
Draconieray
can confirm, when my penis isnt enough i just shove a gun in, not the safest of sex but oh well
SanSilv
I have guns and I have 6 inch willy...?
naughtymedic
My micro penis does not like you drawing attention to it. Now its an innie
strawberrys0da
Sorry you got downvoted. I thought this was hilarious.
SAWhowhatnow
Downvoting makes people with tiny penises feel like they merely have below-average penises. ;p
strawberrys0da
lmao they proved it true.
ChadMMart2
People are also fascinated with the notion that someone is coming to take them away... Which no one has ever said they wanted to do. ????
buttshredder
Well they do, but gun owners assume it's to pacify the population for the coming slaughter or some shit, and not reducing school shootings.
MegatronPewPew
See there was this year, 1776, and since that year we just eat breathe and sleep guns. Weird.
Sonicdahedgie
Our country was founded on the fact that citizen owned military weaponry is a very tl;dr version of it.
elucidatefurther
In addition to being great for recreation, their ownership is fraught with historical context tying into many people's closely held values.
dokujaryu
My kids are 5 and 2. I do not approve of or own any firearm. They take sticks and pretend they are guns. Explain that and you'll know.
GoddammitMrNoodle
I think it's a penis thing.
JumpTheCheeseburger
I think your ancestors had something to do with that.
backoos223
Right before we stomped a mud-hole in their ass and walked it dry! USA! USA!
NobodyExpectsTheSpanishInquistion
I read that in the voice of the most redneck guy possible.
vigilantvigilante
guns are the reason we're not British '
TheLadyChasing
We just like them. They make us feel big. Also, there were bears and stuff when we got here...
thecynabal
It's not just an American thing, I live in the UK and do Target shooting, we shoot Bolt action .308 .223, Semi auto .22LR and 12 Gauge.
RustyCreakySqueaky
@thecynabal @lordnoodles
LordNoodles
What
thecynabal
It's a bot
RustyCreakySqueaky
Dude I'm not a bot I just liked your comment thread i appreciate you for considering me as being apart of the superior race
LordNoodles
What do you use for 223?
thecynabal
Tikka T3
LordNoodles
Are you guys only allowed bolt actions for target shooting or do you get semi autos as well? How hard is it to get guns in UK?
thecynabal
Pretty much, Semi Auto is restricted to .22LR and 12 Guage shotguns, Its pretty strict in the UK to own Firearms but not impossible.
StartInternetFights
A complex issue, but I think part of it is less than 200 years ago the continental US was frontier country. Firearms were essential to 1/2
StartInternetFights
To survival and the importance of firearms has remained ingrained in our society. Not many generations this continent was untamed ya know
boombaby123
Replace guns with tea, and american with British. Then tell me your answer. When you answer replace the words again, there is your answer.
LordNoodles
The Chinese called. They want their cultural export back.
victorthevagabond
The tea or the gunpowder?
LordNoodles
Yes
OrangeRhymer
As an [American] i like [guns] because i enjoy the way it tastes. See? It makes sense now.
oneeyedirishman
This is... a little dark but not entirely untrue if taken literally, I guess.
shootyourgooCthulhu
Guns taste good? That's kinda weird, who taste their guns?
zimirken
The cleaning fluids have great smell.
oneeyedirishman
People who are very, very sad.
MrBuddhaBond
But that's a completely unfair comparison, you can't kill with tea, unless you drown someone in it...
boombaby123
We tried killing fish with tea in boston once on a drunken bet...then it got turned into some huge political statement by some hipsters.
RisingPhoenix92
I heard it was an attempt to clean the Charles, first and last time it worked.
alexanderthegreater
Its a complex sociocultural phenomenon that would be utterly possibly to explain to the unfamiliar in less than 140 characters

Great! Please go ahead.
whatevermanishowedup
My reason is I was trained with them, my family feels more safe, and I use deer meat as supplemental meat throughout the winter.
whatevermanishowedup
Beyond that I was raised around them and how to use them safely and also that in our world with constant changes its good to be prepared.
RisingPhoenix92
See the you're British part.
RangeDay
Parents home country bans guns except small caliber. Drug dealers, kidnappers, general bad guys have 50 cal machine guns. Regular people are

Afraid and get what they can to try and defend themselves. Politicians are corrupt and send cops to confiscate what little people have to

Guns are cool and this is right is one of many rights that keep the government straight and bad guys at bay.
RangeDay
Defend themselves with when things get tense. Citizens are then afraid of their government and bad guys. I like guns because
RangeDay
They are cool and believe it is one of many rights we need to keep the government straight and bad guys at bay.
MrBuddhaBond
Well isn't that what the police are for, to keep the bad guys at bay? I've seen a lot of different views on American police and not sure 1/2
Cataleast
I'm curious as to what said home country is.
redronin911
Its simple my British friend. Its fun to some of us. Like me. Find a place to rent one. Try it. My dad hated them until he fired one.
Mentok
I wasn't born here but I love guns. Maybe there's lead in the water...oh wait
Cataleast
Or in the air. In condensed form. Moving at supersonic speeds ;)
alruss93
I'm British but live in the US and things that go pew are just good fun (if used responsibly) and can become a good hobby. (I have 4)

Well it originates from when the British tried to take arms away from citizens at Lexington and Concord back in the Revolutionary war...

SanSilv
Idk why did Parliament ban knives.
Yarek2745
Very cool. Big booms. Kill thing.
Yarek2745
No but I don't really think we should have assault weapons and shit. UK gun laws are pretty dope.
strawberrys0da
Many Republican officials and the NRA spread invalidated, fear-building rumors that the government wants to ban all of our guns.
strawberrys0da
That would be impossible, but people still freak out and hoard guns just in case.
Rocket350
IF they could, do you think they would? Left or right.
strawberrys0da
I believe that the left would, for sure. I've heard many people say that it's the best idea.
Rocket350
I beleive that too. Just look at CA, NJ, Chicago, MA, NY, CT to name a few. 2nd ammd rights been erroded. What's the common denominator?
Thor73
Not much of a rumor when California is passing laws that ban things on cosmetic features that are "scary". Or laws making it very difficult
Thor73
to exercise a constitutional right so as to make it essentially a ban. If anything comparable was done to any other amendment people would
Thor73
be very upset. If the government is willing to trample on one than why not others? Not all slippery slopes are wrong, and caution should be
TheLastSouthernGentleman
You may never know until you feel the recoil and smell the powder smoke. It's an awesome feeling and that's just the recreational part of it
Cataleast
Fired an AR in the military a lot. Still don't like it. It's loud and uncomfortable.
2xpencive4u
But the military doesn't use ARs... M4s and a bunch of other select-fire rifles, YES!
Cataleast
This is the one we used: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rk_62
Cataleast
By AR, I mean "assault rifle". Not AR-15 specifically.
2xpencive4u
Ah. I see.
SanSilv
Oh your a conscript, yeah I'd expect that.
MrBuddhaBond
Well I've fired a rifle when I was in army cadets, LA98, it was interesting but I never felt a need to chase it furher, which is 1/2
MrBuddhaBond
An option living in Britain, maybe I just need to life American life to understand
MrBuddhaBond
God dammit, "live American life" sorry, long day
bekind2joeblake
No one ever came for you guns... in 8 years... what fake fear are you gonna bitch about now?
Ohashootystealy
There was that time that the batfe banned 7n6 ammo importation, then tried to ban m855 ammo which resulted in a resignation.
Coldin
And yet people were still afraid the government was going to take away their guns.
SlackerTactical
when elected leaders praise Australia's gun control as a model, it strongly implies that if they could get the votes, they would take them.
DeanP3456562456456
They're gonna take my Mexicans. I kept the receipt just in case.
nicetomeetyouimdad
who else is going to do my landscaping???
goochthecat
I hear the UK has some Poles and Romanians who need jobs.
LordNoodles
California got really screwy gun laws, have you forgotten about that?
LordNoodles
Or New York, Massachusetts, Maryland, Connecticut, Colorado, Chicago, etc
bekind2joeblake
How many guns were taken from your home?
goochthecat
None, because we stopped them from trying. Do you think they wouldn't take it if they knew they could get it?
bekind2joeblake
I think your tin foil hat might be just a little too tight.
earlywormy
Personally I never feared Obama would take guns away. Hillary is a bit more ruthless
exosquadwasmyfavoriteshowwheniwasachild
I mean...he was the best thing to happen to gun sales in many years.
earlywormy
Maybe so, but I didn't fear him, but still Hillary scared me shitless. I don't speak for everyone but it's just my opinion on it
LordNoodles
That was a reaction though, it was not Obama saying "yeah guns, buy em! 2A4lyfe"
exosquadwasmyfavoriteshowwheniwasachild
Then again, didn't stop me from buying and selling a few. I'm an opportunist at heart =).
LordNoodles
Make much money?
Tazmo523
Just because Obama knew he couldn't do it, didn't mean they weren't constantly trying to fear the public into a ban. It was their goal
Smackthegreat
What you just said there makes no sense. No one is going to take away guns because, 2nd amendment. Safety makes sense. Paranoia d0esnt.
Tazmo523
Law maker try to undermine the 2nd amendment
Smackthegreat
Protecting people from crazies is a good thing. No one is taking zee guns. I have a few and dont worry about that kind of stuffs
Tazmo523
True but people shouldn't think certain lawmaker sant to ban all guns
saranglegacy
LOL
gringissimo
Just because you're paranoid...
SAWhowhatnow
By "they" you mean "the Republican Party". Putting the fear into uneducated rubes gets them elected.
Tazmo523
No fienstein said she would like to take ALL guns away
SAWhowhatnow
And how, pray tell, would she do it?
Tazmo523
OK so she was a law maker. So she would try to write what's called a bill. Now here the fun part from there it could become a law.
IOnceShatAPlum
It works though!
SAWhowhatnow
Sadly, yes, it does.
RPGSilver
Cmon guys all of you, it's a joke. America is already fighting enough hate we don't need any more here or anywhere else.

Ran on hate. Citation needed
