When violence and hate are your only hobbies

I think most people who have shot a gun before would agree that it's pretty fun. Rural or not.
29
Agreed. Most people just don’t make it their entire personality like these dullards lol

Yea that's fair. I don't shoot like animals or anything cause I'm not gonna eat it and it seems fucked up but I will shoot some bottles or targets and that is fun as fuck.
That's my whole problem with the idea of gun bans or whatever. I don't personally own any guns but if I did sure it could be used for self defense but honestly I'd buy it with the main goal of shooting stuff for fun.
And while I think there has to be a way to get guns out of the hands of people who want to use them for bad stuff I don't think it's fair to punish everyone.
Like I hear people talk about banning assault rifles and I've never shot one but that looks fun as fuck.
I don't know the point I'm trying to get at but as far as this little meme.
Nobody is going to rural kentucky to riot.

I used to shoot competitively and still go target shooting from time to time. Definitely enjoyable and I recommend it to anyone with an interest. I’ve never hunted for the same reasons as you, but I have no problem with it as long as they plan to eat it. Gun control is always a hot topic unfortunately and it makes me a little unpopular in my shooting friend groups. I just don’t see the problem with more in-depth background checks and a centralized data base, but they act like it would be the end of American freedom. Outright bans on guns without reason aren’t great imo though.

I think the problem with the centralized data base is like, I don't know I don't trust the government not to fuck it up.
Say I have to register my great grandpas service pistol and the government decides it's unsafe and wants to confiscate it.
I don't know if anything like that would ever happen but I can see why people would be wary of something like that.
As far as more in depth background checks I can get behind that.
I know it's unrealistic but I wish as a country we could just go around and get all the guns, just all of them and start over. I know that would never happen and would piss a bunch of people off but just go take all the guns and make people register, take a background and mental health test.
If you pass you get your guns back or can get more guns.
We just have to many guns in the hands of the wrong people in this country.

I've only fired an air rifle. And even then I was terrified of the recoil and noise.

Once you get used to it it's a adrenaline rush.
Plus it's just fun.

Agreed. Though without the human targets... and I don't have that good aim.

I have an idea. Rioters should just randomly show up in small shithole rural towns and riot.

Like anyone wants to go there 😂

Projection is a powerful and wonderful tool and the right don’t even realize it’s the only one in their arsenal.

More important rural people live where there is nothing to destroy.

God I bet they’re going crazy about the national ammo shortage too

Yes, and we also realize that you're the primary reason that illegal firearms get into cities that have banned them. No shit, people have guns in Chicago, all you have to do to get one is pop over to Indiana or Wisconsin and pass the background check with their much looser standards and the address on your ID not giving them cause to halt and check to see if you have a legal way to possess it and not just trusting your word for it, because you can buy all sorts of stuff even if it's illegal to own those things where you live. Just ask pet stores in California. They stock supplies for ferrets, even though they're illegal to own there, because people do it anyway, and most of the stuff falls under more solid plausible deniability reasons than "trust me and my friends, bro."

Rural people only need to realize one thing. Other people own guns too.

At least they admitted rioters are much smarter then them.
Because we all know there’s a lot more than one thing that these type of rural people need to realize.

You posted a picture of the results of someone shooting a gun and said when violence and hate are your only hobbies. What conclusion were you expecting for me to draw from that?

Cool. So do urban people except we don't run around thinking we're extra special snowflake Real Americans.
