Colorful firearms

So since you swore an oath , that makes your opinion more relevant than mine ?
All I said was that I think making a real gun look like a toy is stupid and no good can come from it.
According to you this makes me a democrat ?
What happened to your oath that you served so honorable for that gives me the right to my opinion.
If making a real gun look like a toy gun is such a good idea to you , could you give me one example of how it can possibly be a good idea.

Oh and by the way , I also served my time honorably with 3 tours in the jungle.
I believe I have as much right to my opinion as you do to yours.

Stupid people are entitled to stupid opinions, even me. I don't actively engage in telling folks it's a bad idea to do something if I'm not aware of the direct, immediate, and known consequences. Until then, I STFU and let folks get on with their lives. Life, Liberty, and The Pursuit of Happiness I believe was the term used .

I swore an oath and served 11 honorable years so that you could be so "particular" with that opinion, but that oath means something to me. It's folks like you who poo poo the idea of doing such that I'm more concerned with. Honestly, it's not much different than any demonrat.

Sure.
Cause someone wants to. Same good idea as modifying any other property that an individual owns. You know, that whole freedom thing.


Plain and simple. By your mentality no one should modify or customize anything.

You seem to gloss over everyone else's well made points in how you are wrong and insist on the pissing match over whose opinion matters more (news flash - neither.) Hate to break it to people but it doesn't matter if someone sat on a couch whackin' their pud all day while watching designing women (Annie Potts - oh my) or if they were single handedly fighting off the Vietcong with a pair of chopsticks and a rolled-up "my little pony" poster, or stuck in the desert cleaning sand outta the squad's sphincter with a poopsickle stick. Everyone's opinion has the same value.


So I ask again.

I bet you say every time there is a firearm involved in a crime "Don't blame the gun, don't blame the inanimate object" - yet somehow because something doesn't fit your "taste" you are more than happy to do just that - blame the inanimate object for being "dangerous." You see the hypocrisy here?

Also, since there are probably literally at this point tens/hundreds of thousands (or more) firearms that you would think "looks like a toy" please enlighten us on the numbers to back up your theory that having a whimsical looking firearm is a "bad idea." Plenty of guns look like toys, and plenty of toys look like guns - yet somehow the percentage of things that have happened "badly" because of which are fractions of a percent tiny.

The teeeeeny tiny percentage of idiots who would make a firearm into something that looks like a nerf gun, or look like rainbow brite's dildo and leave it out for a kid are the same dingleberries who would do the exact same with a "normal" looking gun. And if you have kids, know anything about kids, or have even seen a kid for more than 36 seconds you will know both are equally appealing to a child who hasn't been taught the correct life lessons.

You can not like them - thats fine - but when you make statements like "not good for the gun community" and "bad idea" in relation to negligence - you are flat out completely wrong.

Pretty sure bringing younger people into the 2A fold is a good thing. I have a couple friends who have pretty much "came over to our side" politically and 2a wise solely because they seen some of these modified guns and it piqued their interest enough to actually let me take them shooting. Pretty sure the companies that have grown or popped up to support the "new" facet of the industry is a good thing. Pretty sure the choice of individualization and customization is a good thing. Pretty sure people learning new skills and actually doing things with their hands - is a good thing.

Because I can.
Because I want to.

I knew that one was coming. I also think that is a stupid answer.

I have my opinion and you have yours. Live with it.

How dare people for wanting/doing things, that we can do cause we have the freedom to. What a concept. Seems you have an issue with freedom, and a problem with facts. You sure your residing in the correct country friend?

Lol.

I’m just saying that there is always stupid people out there. I’m not saying any of you personally, just that there are stupid people that are less than careful in the general public. But really, I could care less what the gun looks like, nerf gun, Star Wars stormtrooper, etc. I believe anyone is guaranteed the right to own whatever gun you want.
