Why do I "NEED" a gun? Here's why!

[yakkingallover]

My standard response is "To help protect the rights and liberties of those who would ask why I need a gun." Then a cheesy smile as they ponder that.....

Very nice yakkingallover, is it ok if I borrow that line?

It's compensation for the fact that, I admit, I can no longer knock a man down with my penis.

I have guns in part because of our history. They were a means of survival and the difference between something in the pot and not in the pot. Guns are a way of life in this country.
For the most part they were a critical way of life. Our lineage knew how to shoot as a whole and you can't say that to countries in Europe. firearms have defined our culture. WWI we went over there and shot the snot and put the fear of God into the enemy. The same applied to WWII.

I also own guns to keep boredom at bay , i enjoy shooting them ,reloading for them ,talking about them and im no good at golf !.
As an added bonus if I or my family are ever at risk of bodily harm be it from a bad guy or a cougar (we have those here ) then I have a pretty efficient tool to do the job with.
Bottom line ..its either a piece of sporting equipment or a tool , just because its good at what it does doesnt make it unnecessary.

Guns are my hobby. I like to shoot and reload. (8 rifles and 6 pistols). I need guns, because they are my only hobby.

Offroaddiver feel free, glad someone likes that line as it has only worked on one anti so far who later went shooting with me...

I'll be honest. I've never tried.
