Who asked for unfettered gun use. I object to your casual mischaracterization of my support of the principal of self defense which millions of people have chosen the AR 15 platform as an option to that end, with your dogmatic and in my opinion irrationally ideological contempt for scary guns just because I decided to build one myself and they have become a symbol for liberal loathing.

I have one thing to say to you. The greater the self hate the greater the projection of that hated being imagined as a threat coming toward you from others. I have no obligation to surrender my own personal rights to defend myself because of your mental illness.

And the more I know at a conscious level that my fears of you are just the same thing, the product of the fact I am also nuts, the safer you are. You are not my real enemy, I am. The more aware you are of what you really feel, the less you can pretend those feelings represent objective reality.

I would rather live next door to a happy go lucky down to earth conservative gun owner than sone of the liberal paranoid screechers that post here. Nut cases are created by an intense fear they will act out their self hate on others.

Look for a Hobbit to carry ring.
Just concede you have no issue with my having a Scorpion attack helo on a pad in my back yard.

2A and all of that?

I have no issues with it whatsoever as I trust you will have met all of the laws that would be required to have one there. I would love to have a Thompson’s machine gun but not so much that I would be willing to acquire legal permission to have one or spend what it would cost. Cool factor only goes so far. Time and money also have value.

Not so much for "cool factor".. It would have been nice to pick up the 22k reward for the inmate escaped in this area last week though. :)

Hopefully alive rather than dead or alive. Personally, I would use a gun on a person or animal only in self defense. The only way I would ever collect a bounty, then, would be by the surviving an attempt by someone with a bounty on their head to kill me.

For no amount of money would I want to live with having killed somebody for any reason other than defense of self or innocent 3rd party.
