years later I've realized they are all bitter angry dicks

Not quite what you're asking, but I was an anti till I took high school US Government and realized that 2A was literally designed to be a protection for the people against not just criminals, but the government

Anyone else have an experience like this? My teacher was even a gigantic liberal who literally looked like John Green will probably look 20 years from now and somehow I still got it

Thought polymer guns were asking for an explosively mangled hand. I learned it was true, just nowhere near as often as I thought.

No it was to keep an armed trained body of men ready to defend against foreign powers such as England then seen as the tyrannical government.

>before, growing up influenced by my antifunz Jewish mom: lol I don't need guns those are for rednecks, cops, and the military
>now: "shit, I need a bigger gun safe"

I grew up a fudd and always asked why anybody would need something like an AR-15 or daki

I now own both

>>30459281
Wait, $200?

For some reason I thought it was like $10,000

>>30459602

While I'm sure you have one I don't think that's what you meant.

Before I got into guns, I thought gun people were fat, stupid, angry, and generally all around assholes.
This is still mostly true. I do however enjoy my arsenal of fun

Grew up with a tacticool Glockfag dad and now appreciate milsurp/retro stuff.

First gun I ever shot.

>>30458886

Before I knew jackshit I though all rifles and pistols were laser beam accurate.
Then I started learning about cartrisges, ballistics and stuff and was like "I was a tard. This shit is way more indepth then I though."

Literally no. Any form of tyranny.

Read the Federalist Papers.

My dad shot black powder competitions and I learned to shoot on his sharps rifle. For the longest time, I thought that all guns would put up big clouds of smoke when fired.

I had a crossbow when I was a teenager, which I kept on top of my armoir in my room. She took it without me knowing one day and hid it, when I demanded it back she said she didn't feel safe with me having it because "what if it's sitting up there and it accidentally goes off"

>bitchWAT.tiff

Fast forward to now.
Visiting parents this summer and I'm in the garage getting a beer when I see it. She had stuffed it behind some boxes in a corner of the garage (which leaks when it rains), and as I pick it up, I realize that over the past 6ish years it's just been rusting, the strings were left on the limbs so now they're frayed and useless, this whole thing is fucking totaled

>I'm gonna put that bitch in a home

>>30464867
*she* being my mother. Forgive me lads, it's early.

>>30464867
....was it drawn when it was taken and stuffed in a corner?

Because that's how things accidentally themselves and just "go off"

The price of transferrable full autos can be in the tens of thousands because of limited supply, the tax stamp to own one is $200 which applies to any NFA item.

turns out magnum cartridges are god's way of balancing the scales away from a cruel world

Not really a misconception I had about guns, I was just terrified to even hold the things until I learned how to actually use them.

I used to think the majority of gun owners were Bubbas. Now I see that most gun owners are intelligent and crafty as fuck. The leftists who tout their humanities college degrees couldn't survive a day without civilization.

>freedom ain't free

such is my story of 7n6

>>30465376
like how the libruhls ask gun owners what they're so afraid of / why are you so paranoid, yet they're the ones that are apparently afraid to go outside in fear of being caught in a mass shooting

Used to think 1911's were real fuckin cool, then I realized they are real fuckin cool just not practical.
