What is a gun for?

You bring a gun with you so you can scare off wildlife. Maybe save your life with it if a bear attacks. I would only ever shoot a gun to defend myself or for target practice.
Always respect the weapon. treat it gently & with respect.
Only aim at something you intend to kill or shoot.
Treat every gun as if it is loaded. (go out in the country and it will be.)🤣
If you see somebody handling a gun incorrectly. Intervine immediately if it is safe to do so. If it is not. Leave the area immediately!
Service this weapon every few months. If your environment is good, you don’t need to. But you should. Once a year. I will set everything out on the table and work on all of it. Sharpen all of my fine blades and make sure they’re oiled, so no rust can touch them. Then you take apart your gun and gently oil and treat it.
No gun has ever killed anyone.
Only people have killed other people. This is a tool they use to further that goal. You should not be able to sue a gun manufacturer for the activities of someone using it.
It is that person‘s fault. Not the gun’s…

It’s my philosophy on weapons entirely. What else would it be under? If you have a better suggestion, I would hear it.

It’s a philosophy on weapons. This is the philosophy thread. The pub is hardly a place to discuss philosophy. They’d rather talk about Velcro or Prigozhin’s fake death.

It is a dangerous tool. That needs to be treated with respect.
 That is it. Everything else is what people put on it.

I always really liked the revolver. The design hasn’t changed since the 1800s because it hasn’t had to. It’s essentially impossible to jam. But I wouldn’t say I love any of my weapons. I respect them. I treat them well. That can be said for all of my possessions though. I’m a real stickler about when people borrow my things. They need to be treated well. I loaned a book to someone once. When it came back with fanned out corners. They never got to borrow a book for me again…

In many cases, the psychological motivation for owning a gun is similar to the decision to purchase a home security alarm system. You may never need it. But if you do, it might be very helpful.

what if you have been told that you are too fat, and have to buy ozempic?
I see it as a marketing phenomenon - the bonanza of lies pushing products on us that are not needed, we cave, and swallow the pitch, and buy the security system, and buy the gun, and pay and pay and pay.
Then we try to make sure we are surrounded by people who believe the same lies, and we start selling the extra stuff to others, making them feel inadequate because they are too fat or going to get attacked or robbed....
I haven't turned on a security system since I closed my store, where insurance required it. 10 years ago, and I recognize the panel in the apartment I am moving into, and just shake my head.
the only time the security system ever went off was due to a mouse or something. The police came, the noise was terrible, I had to phone the service to run their checks and all a waste of everyone's time. Multiply that by millions.
expensive nuisance. far more trouble than it is worth.
It's like they say, "people who live in glass houses shouldn't stow thrones".

“It’s better to have it and not need it. Than to need it and not have it.”
You have never been robbed. Thus you don’t feel like you need it. My father was almost executed by a pair robbers on Halloween. I feel I need it…
You don’t need to buy a security system either red. I cut boards with a saw and fit them on all my windows. That way no one can open them from the outside and get in here. I can have my windows open! It’s just planning for the worst.
So that if it ever happens, you will be the best off you can be.

Magical thinking puts everything down to karma where actually existing where barred windows are neaded is evidence of state of mind.

I sleep like a baby. I decided to feel like there was nothing kind of crawling around at the back of my mind. “was that a person outside?” I couldn’t care less if there was a person outside right now. I would call the police. That’s saying a lot because y’all know how I feel about them. All of those thoughts are completely gone now. My house is safe. It’s just a comfort. My roommates are women. It makes them feel more safe too.

Redgreen you seem to be completely opposed to me actually reacting to the multiple robbery incidences that have happened in my life. “ psychedelic Gummy Bear.”
Here’s one for you. “closed Minded”
Why is your focus so small? Why can’t you see other peoples perspectives? Why can’t you be empathetic to somebody who is recovering from having a lot of trauma?
You’re an ignorant fool. I don’t wanna hear from you for 60 days. In the 60 days I will contemplate if you can be unblocked.
But honestly. Ever since I first showed up here. You seem to have had some sort of strange obsession with my posts and your responses are always so unhelpful. Usually not even attached to the thread properly. You comment on a thread that I made. On different threads! Sometimes going across four different ones! Which makes us look like crazy people that just walked in off the street talking about literally unrelated to the post nonsense! If you had actually been commenting on the correct threads. We could’ve actually had a real conversation where people could’ve contributed. Instead of me, talking about meditation, and then being accused of being a psychedelic gummy bear.
(utterly flabbergasted.)
Which makes you look like you are out of your mind. Actually respond to the correct threads. Otherwise people think you are talking nonsense.
I have made threads as simple as
Can I make a pancake with it?
As simple as I can get, then you would come at me with something like.
“What is a pancake, sword toting psychedelic gummy bear.”
“It’s food I’m making, what do you want?”
You need to get off your pedestal. You need to look at the world around you. You need to realize that people can think in different ways from you. And that isn’t wrong. I already told you & have expressed in multiple ways and times. How non violent I am. I’ve been practicing Taoism for years dude. I just want to feel safe. Check your self, with your therapist. Because you come off as an ignorant, scatterbrained, dick.

So you've used your 'weapon' in coercion, and probably wouldn't see that influence spreading into other areas of your interactions.

This behavior pattern:
(From another thread) "I said what I needed to say. It was constructive criticism. It had to be spoken. She needed to hear it. But I was done. I didn’t wanna hear any of the after affects right now. I’m at work. So I blocked them."

This is some thing that happened a long time ago buster. I said the constructive criticisms the night before too. She decided to wait until I was at work to try and call me and start popping off. This is a pattern of behavior that the iPhone just lies, it had nothing to do with the personal discussion I was discussing that I was trying to take a break from. That’s what I was establishing.
In regards to your “coercion”
I understand that this is a contentious topic. But y’all keep trying to put words in my mouth. In the first two sentences of this post. My entire stance on all weapons is very clearly laid bare. Whatever else you people are inferring from. It is wrong. You can twist & turn. Try and make it whatever you want. My stance is still, always has been. Always will be.
Weapons should be respected. They are tools. That is it!
No, threatening, coercion, warfare, murder, or psychedelic gummybears, has ever happened!
If you had been robbed, or had your family almost killed by robbers more than five times. You would have the exact same stance I do. If not being outwardly violent.
The fact that I am such a gentle and kind soul, despite all of the incredible abuses I have suffered over the course of my life. Is astounding!
I’ve been working on my anger and the fact that you people are being so close minded about the fact that weapons don’t need to be used to kill people. Blows my mind!
Don’t hurt anyone. Straight up. You don’t need to. When someone tries to hurt you. That is when you can defend yourself. In that defense, you could hurt them. But you should try not to.
What trogs say. Will not make me change my mind about this.
The fact that I’m getting so much pushback almost makes it feel like you guys only use weapons to kill and hurt people.

That language was quite harsh. I realized as soon as I pushed submit. I went back and changed it to Trog. You are far elevated above that.
Your comment is the most cherished on this entire thread.
Somehow even with the thesis statement standing right at the top of it. I am accused of a violent stance. Which I have never had. Closest I get to anger now is Hangry.
Apparently the concept of shooting a gun at a target on the farm is completely foreign. So weird is my country to these people.
That some would love to just dismiss me as an ignorant, violent, hick. God for bid that different people be able to get along and share an idea…
“Oh no, he does things differently. We better throw rocks at them.”
You know this is why all the Taoist are dead except me right?
Bunch of stupid fascist showed up didn’t like what they were saying, and then had them all murdered.
God forbid that we actually respect nature, and treat things with respect.

Even words can be weapons, and when stoned enough, thoughts can seem to be weapons or at least weaponized and impossible to evade.
I think that our esteemed member leads with his wounds and wants a special case consideration for how he as managed to fold everything into self soothing by worshiping his revolver as a philosophical talisman.
This is an amazing thing that he has done with his mind, although, the lethal talisman is not equal to words, it is truly a deadly invention that has been raised to an inappropriate significance.
Hopefully he is slower to discharge that talisman than he is to clicking keys on his computer.
