Is it because you just like shooting sports? Or is it for SHTF scenarios? zombies? Repelling an invasion? Economic collapse?
I need a new good reason!! |
|
So that I can feel like I have even a moderate chance of getting a single glancing hit on Chuck Norris when he comes to roundhouse kick me in hte face for saying that Bruce Lee's foot was his one weakness. |
|
|
because you cant depend on the cops or anyone else for that matter.
|
|
So far, my guns have only been used for recreation. I own them for protection.
|
|
Who told you I was well-armed?
Do I know you? (Mental note: Time to buy more guns, ammo, SHTF supplies, tin-foil...) |
|
If I'm armed better, more familar, and better trained with my weapons than than the person attempting to do me harm then I win
|
|
Because the 2nd Amendment tells me I should be if I enjoy liberty.
|
|
I'm not- all I have is an old Nambu. I'm saving up for a Charter Arms .22 cal.
|
|
Because when I can't, I don't want to think I should have when I could have. |
|
|
and................. ................................................................................JUST BECAUSE WE CAN |
|
|
+1 All of the Above. The older I get, and the further we get from being a real Constitutional Republic, the more paranoid I get. |
|
|
If you're selling your guns cheap I'm sure you'll find some buyers here.
|
|
Because I am lazy.... Getting up from my couch to beat, kick, bite, disarm somebody is far tooo much work..
|
|
No comment. Just the laugh. |
|
|
Tragically, all my wares were lost in a freak accident involving a midget, some Clorox, a shop-vac, and a butane lighter.
Horrible, just horrible. |
|
I dont own any tanks, jets, bombers, high explosives, grenades, C4, RPG's, stingers, artillery, or BFG-9000's.
I don't consider myself "well-armed". I am vastly outmanned and outgunned. |
|
+1. You forgot nukes. |
|
|
I have worked around the scum of the United States. They would not think twice about doing whatever they had to to take what I have, including taking my and or my families life to get it.
Because I can |
|
But I am not, there are just so many cool guns, historical guns, fun guns and I have so little cash.
|
|
I'm well-armed in a vain attempt to over-compensate for a disproportionately small peepee.
|
|
Because I am a member of the unorganized militia, as per US code, and as such I need to provide my own weaponry, and weapons for those members of the militia who can't provide for themselves the tools of war.
Because I am a free man, and I will die a free man. |
|
I fear a dishonorable, shaking on my knees, "oh please don't kill me sir" kind of death. And I'll try to not make that happen.
|
|
Because the Zombies WILL attack one day.
If you say they won't then maybe you're a Zombie sympathizer..... |
|
this works for me. |
|
|
None of the above. I'm an art collector, and firearms are the highest expression of the industrial arts. I'm not well armed, I'm highly cultured. |
|
|
like a fat woman drowns her sorrows in chocolate cake this helps releave the embarrassment of being quick in the sack
|
|
TEOTWAWKI, SHTF, Tyrannical .gov, Hurricanes(a by-product anyway), Lawful Self Defense, zombies, aliens, the UN, because I can, to piss of libs, cause the Constitution says so, because they are fun, so I can hunt, why not, doesnt everyone,...
|
|
i like that quote!! |
|
|
I would not ask another to do for me what I am not willing to do for myself. |
|
|
Why do I give a Damn that YOU need a GOOD Reason for me to be Heavily Armed?
|
|
1) Home/self protection (a few)
2) Target shooting 3) Action shooting 4) It's a collection...you can't just stop at one. |
|
I like shooting.
It is relaxing. It is fun collecting. It's my money. Max |
