Because they're fun and cool

>>31953052
Because I can and it's one of the few hobbies I still enjoy, even though it costs a lot of money for a poor college kid like me.

1. I like things that go BANG
2. Cuz lots of people don't want me to own guns
3. Incase some fool tries to kill me, my family, or my friends.

>Why do you own Guns?
First, foremost and forever is because i like them.
I also like owning one of the most efficient tools for self defense.

last but not least, pigs and coyotes aint gonna shoot themselves

>>31953052

I own an AK because I think they're neat.

I own a .30-06 to kill deers elks and bears with

I own a Hi-Power because until yesterday I felt like this country was turning on people like me and wanted the protection. Also because John Browning gives me a boner.

Ive just been drawn to then and fascinated by them since I was a kiddo. I'm not completely sure why either since both my parents have been nogunz until just a couple years ago. Maybe it has to do with playing Goldeneye.

I won't elaborate on all guns since it's been stated already, but I own an AR15 because the bad guys do, whomever that might be. I don't have any other rifles because I'm saving for an ATPIAL-C.

>>31953175
It'd be utterly absurd. California is entirely dependent on other states to survive, they don't produce their own water or power.

NONE OF YOUR DAM BUSINESS! AM I BEING DETAINED? AM I FREE TO GO? I AM A FREEMAN OF THE LAND AND A SOVEREIGN CITIZEN!

Hunting mainly, I'm a fudd.

However I concede that guns are great and should not be restricted to only hunting, like a lot of my fudd brethren. If you wanna take your SKS innawoods and cycle through 100s of rounds, I fully support that, and our 2nd Amendment does too.

OP here, I'm not attacking anyone I'm just posting some of the most common liberal questions. So don't start Spaming the thread.

Because a relative had a Yugo Mauser and wanted to give it to a family member instead of selling it off, and I was the first one to volunteer to take it. Now I'm saving up to invest in other guns.

>>31953622
1911 is on my list, right after I finish the AR

>Why do you own Guns?

>>31953202

Not to go on a tangent or anything, but the reason so many large cities are hardcore Democrat is because of just that, they depend on outside sources to survive. They need our power, our water, our crops, they can't sustain themselves at all. And the people in them depend on programs, annuities, and funding. The city is an easy place for a loafer to get by.

>>31953052
Pretty much the same reason as you, OP. Pretty much the same reason I didn't vote.

You're responsible for your own, anons.

>>31953052
I find them really fun
I am a NJ cuck so its hard to think about using them in self defense (moving to PA t minus 1 month)

guns are fun too

1. Ar15 because they keep saying it shouldn't be on the streets

2. AK clone because I wanted it

3. Sten MkII because fuck your universal background checks I can/did make it out of my own labor a parts kit and determination.

>>31953391

Would be a really bad idea. All chest pounding about resistance aside, some people would definitely do that.

How many would? Can you tell them apart? Is the neighborhood you're getting started in about to become the wild west?

Not only that, but once word got out about it happening in a couple areas everyone else is gonna run for the hills or run for a place to hide them. So once they start, nearly all the other guns legally owned are gonna vanish. Sure, some will give them up, but a lot will boat accident them.

There's no way the police or government has the resources to search for all those missing guns, and they sure as hell don't have the space to hold that number of people for disobeying the law. And they also really REALLY can't afford the level of public outcry that would happen.

>tl;dr: too many guns, not enough time

>>31953831
>There's no way the police or government has the resources...

Ask the Britbongs how they lost their guns. Sure, it would be more difficult and would not be as effective, but the ame measures would work in the US and over the years, people would loose their guns.

>>31953870

Britain is a fraction the size of the US, we have a lot of places to hide things, a lot of space to hide it, and a lot of guns to hide. There's no way they could even if they used up every dime they had on batteries for metal detectors.

Ask Australia too then. Also, riddle me why they have been training dogs to find guns and ammo in recent years too? But ok, now that Trump is eleted, lean back and forget about the 2ndA, you deserve a break! Don't even think about the elections down the pipe....

>>31953946

Australia gave them up, and the ones that didn't were railroaded into it by everyone having a change of heart. Their gun culture, and Britain's, is nowhere near as deep and ingrained as it is in the us.

I don't know if you're playing devil's advocate, entertaining a debate, or trying to get me to ask you what you think I should do. It seems like the last one though, so what do you think I should do?

They had a 20% return rate from their buybacks. they also didn't go door to door, neither did the britbongs.

It's clear people didn't comply.

It's because I can.

I don't agree with most of /k/ about this election, but what makes America as an ideal is that we can disagree and agree on different things but still be one nation.

>>31953056
Fpbp and this

Broke up with my gf on sunday because we got into an argument about guns. She kept on giving me that "why do you need" bullshit. Also she could not justify the regulations placed upon firearms in California, she was utterly ignorant about it. She is a huge shillary fan too to top it off. I just couldnt go on any longer. Had to break up with that bitch.

Feeling a little lonely at the moment but feelsgoodman.jpeg

>>31953073
This.

>>31953202
Not that I support Calexit, but that's only half the story. We supply a huge percentage of the nation's food and a major share of our taxes are redistributed to other states, close to half in some years.

>>31953709
Again, only a small part of the story. Cities used to be centers of manufacturing, and that meant unions. Pretty much everybody who's been here for a couple of generations has a father or grandfather who was a union worker. I know some unions have become pretty bad these days, but they used to be a damn good thing, especially if you go back to the 19th and early 20th centuries.

It's also a lot harder to buy into race politics when you've lived in a big diverse city your whole life and been exposed to people of other races and creeds since childhood. The places with the most homogeneous populations tend to be the places where racism is most common for a reason.

>>31954805
The most homogenous places tend to be the most peaceful with high social trust.most diverse societies fracture along tribal lines and decay until war breaks out. You sound like you're a shill for the "diversity is good" crowd and let's all race mix and globalize because muh utopia. You're the problem.

>>31953052
I don't own guns because it's an expensive hobby

>>31953052
Milsurp because I think functioning historical firearms are fucking cool, handguns because cool and self/home defense, and an AR because I'm an American so I should have an American rifle.

tl;dr
>Muh rights
>muh self/home defense
>muh collection

>>31953179
Pretty sure Goldeneye is the reason I started building an AK, I love that game.

>>31953052
It was either guns or heroin, and I can resell used guns.

>>31953175

We should let them.

We'd never have a Democratic president after,.

Because I'm a faggot and if I get attacked in the street for sucking cock then they'll be sucking on the business end of a S&W.

Because there are people who tell me i shouldn't, and i cant see a reason why my owning a gun would effect them unless they have bad intentions.

>>31953052
Because I want to hunt and they're fun. Now if only Canada could uncuck its "restricted" class.

>>31953073

This will be my reason once my licence is approved. We don't have niggers looting homes in my country, I don't know anyone who has ever had a break in or been in a violent or dangerous situation that required a gun, but guns are fucking cool and I want to start a gun collection

>>31953134

This the most widespread gun on the planet, by a massive margin. It has either 12 or 14 parts to it, and is extremely reliable.

Last time I checked the area 15 was made of plastic

>>31953143
>We legally can (a fundamental right that the rest of the world does not have)

Lots of countries allow their citizens to own guns. Just not all countries are as excited about guns as americans

There is literally nothing more American, except maybe making them sell that weapon to you first.

Fucking let them. They're actually leeches.

Not even in the 'lol liberal parasites' sense, but in the 'we're entirely dependent on the rest of the country to exist, let alone function' sense. Yeah they're a big chunk of the GDP, but that'd disappear as soon as they leave and we start treating them accordingly. And all the shit we give them would get directed elsewhere.

Unless you're stockpiling 7.62x39, or know where to readily get some stateside wouldn't it make more sense to use a weapon that fires 5.56 the most common round used by your enemies? Even better if it accepts the same magazines.

>>31955142
It sounds like you want a shack up in the mountains with a "No brown people allowed" sign hung up.

I mean that's your right to do as an American but today's world is globalized. The monetary benefits of being exposed to other cultures is just too high, why else did Trump use illegal mexican workers and use Chinese steel? It was cheap and he made money. Like it or not, it's only going to get more diverse, but if you're alright with a shack in the woods that's your perogative.

Because they're cool and fun and people are inherently shitty creatures that will always try to fuck one another over.
