I'm just saying that psychedelic experience are often associated with clarity of mind. Meaning you can see through all the hype, debate, bravado, etc and see your personal need for a gun for what it truly is.
Having lots of guns on the street makes the police jumpy, that's a fact. I'm not saying take guns away from private citizens. I'm just thinking that the self protection part has became a mantra that most people just parrot and stopped thinking about the real motivation or even the utility value for wanting a gun. I don't see private citizens in America today breaking into gunfights like in the wildwest. But the sheriff seems to still live in that era.
Apeshit? Are you so offended that you can't see when someone is simply disagreeing with you? That's pretty sad son. Perhaps take a breather before you post. All you're saying is you think that just because you got high that everyone is just like you. That's just not the case. Having feelings one way or another doesn't make you right about things. I can feel bad about stepping on bugs but that doesn't make me dumb enough to imply I should just sit down and die because I can't prevent the impact my existence has. Law of the jungle, son. Life feeds on life no matter how beautiful and that means it needs protecting. That's clarity.
You win. Because I'm lost in your philosophy.
There's nothing confusing about it. Even if life has no inherent meaning I can still value myself and recognize that bad things happen. Go walk around in the bush with nothing with you and then go do it with a big ass knife and tell me how little self defense matters. Feeling safe is important it's one of the first things your parents should ever help you experience and you probably love them for it. Even the purest person's blood can pump with rage. Love is complicated.
My father said to me bare knuckles won't kill. It's not accurate but the gist is, he taught me that having a weapon on your hand in a rage is likely to end with a lifetime of regrets. If you can't feel safe without a gun, knock yourself out.
I feel that most people call guns a tool for self defense but take it as a license to be a dick. If you ran into a thug brandishing a gun, you would run away if you don't have a gun. Correct? Doesn't having a gun in your hand makes it more likely that one of the guns will pop? I know there are nut cases hellbent to murder innocent people. But compared to the likelihood of things getting out of hand in a fit of rage, don't you think "self protection" is on the same coin as "I'll fuck him up before he has a chance to fuck me"?

I know what message you're trying to convey here, but even a slight knock on the head can kill. Even bumping ones head on a cabinet door. The head is highly vascular and prone to blood vessels bursting. There could be clots etc...unknown to the person and when the bump or knock to the head happens, BAM! Dead! So yeah, bare knuckles CAN and DO kill.
I have a gun now, but it was inherited by my husband from his dad. It's a 38 special kept by the bed, and a couple of rifles we keep at our cabin. I have shot the 38 twice in 3 years. The rifles haven't been fired by me yet. I grew up in Texas, so I know what gun freaks are like pretty much. In Texas anyway,lol.

the aztecs ate mushrooms, too. But they also sacrificed neighboring tribes by the thousands to the sun god.
Were they enlightened?

Seeing how America has enough firearms to arm every man, women, and child, I'm gonna say most, if not all, of us have firearms or know someone who does.
If not, I guarantee we at least have a big whoopass stick like psi.

Ephesians 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Psalm 12:6 The words of the Lord are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. Hebrews 11:3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. Revelation 3:11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.

Guns are as American as Apple Pie, NASCAR and McDonalds.
I just realized I do own a gun, a BB gun air rifle. Does that count?

Multi-Pump.
I was thinking of getting a CO2 for the convenience and near-silence of it.
Do you own any Air guns?

I had a pump rifle and a co2 handgun just for shooting targets and bottles. Definitely liked the co2 one better, much easier and quicker.
Shot a target that I taped to a tree once, the BB bounced directly back and hit me right in the sunglasses, could've been awful if I wasn't wearing them. Almost had a Christmas Story moment

So do you actually believed that owning a gun helps to improve your personal safety? Or you just liked that you can shoot a few tin cans whenever you feel like it?
If you own a gun for reasons other than the three options offered, please elaborate why you feel that there is a need to own a gun.
If you don't own a gun and feel like sharing, tell us why not.
Where is the option for "all of the above"? People own guns for more than just one single reason/use.
I was given/gifted my first rifle when I was about 6 or 7 years old. I mostly just use it for recreation/target shooting, but I can also use it for hunting small game and for protection/defense if needed.
I've actually been looking into getting a new gun sometime in the near future .
