Pick one gun--You got to be kidding--Thats un American-- an evil propsal--is someone sick ?
No.
This is like saying pick one car, one bike, one house, one dog, and so on.
Things change, needs change, environments change, situations change, needs change (sometimes daily).
There can not be only one.
But, with all due respect, those posts miss the point of this exercise.
Yes, yes, we all agree that "one gun" is not desirable, moral, ethical, etc.
But play along for a minute. Imagine a scenario (as difficult as that is) in which one could ONLY have one gun.
Is this that much different from Marine training where one has only a survival knife?
Don't take it so seriously. It's just an exercise in critical thinking.
It's just an exercise to get us to think about which gun is the best optimum for just about everything.
And, if one were to ever suffer the same fate that many have - poverty - where one had to sell a bunch of stuff just to have enough to eat, but had enough money to keep one gun, which one would it be?
Yes, yes, it's un-American. Despicable. Horrendous thought. Hope it never happens to you, much less me.
But if it did, which one would you keep ... and why?
It's just a game.
Really. It's just a game.
