If you are a gun owner,where do you live, hhi, how many, what kind, storage, when bought, why, kids

People with it tend to be much smarter, have gone to better schools, have more empathy, and realize how incredibly reckless and irresponsible it is to have a gun in their home. Guns, frankly, are for stupid people. If I ever need to worry about protecting my home, I’ll hire armed security.

I have a PhD, and I own guns. I have many MD and PhD friends who own guns. We find your opinions hilariously stupid.

So let me ask you something.... do you think guns are animated, sentient organisms? Like animals? That if you ever visited a place where there was a gun, that there was a possibility that the gun might seek you out and shoot you, on its own accord?

Is that what you’re afraid of? Are you also afraid of other weapons like knives, baseball bats and cars? Because all those things are weapons too.

Are you saying that we have to agree with every issue on our party platform.

Should I purchase a pistol (beretta, colt, glock, desert eagle, Smith n wesson, sig sauer, P99) or a shotgun (mossberg 500, franchi spas 12, Remington 370 tactical, benelli m4)

Buy yourself some time away from news.

DC. Glock 9mm. Unloaded, locked, in a case, in a bag, hidden in a closet, ammo elsewhere. Will come out for civil disorder if the police have gone away. Young children in the house. Monthly practice at the range. New gun owner in March.

Unless you live on a farm and are trying to shoot wolves, coyotes, or bear, buy a pistol. Glock is a good reliable choice. Take a safety course and go to the range. Ignore the gun naysayers as it is your right to own a gun just as it is their right to not own one.

So.... wait minute.

1) “guns are for stupid people”

2) “I’ll hire armed security”


So what you’re saying is, you’re SO smart, you’ll hire a stupid person to protect you. That about right?

OMG, I can’t stop laughing!!!

This has to be one of THE best burns on DCUM. It’s so brief, so concise, and so absolutely perfect for the wealthy smugness of the PP.


There are some seriously funny people here.

I own a gun, live in DC and own an EV. I make no assumptions about my neighbors and assume that most of them own guns as well...though they have more yard signs than I do.

PP here. auto correct into a grammar conundrum. Shucks. Anyway, should have said I make no assumptions about my neighbors and know that most of them own guns as well...though they still have more yard signs than I do

The underlined is best practice. The bolded makes you sound like a total nut.

True. All you need is the biometrics.

Black DC Democrat. Was living in NoLa during Katrina. My neighbor lent me a shotgun after the storm died down and he came to check on me. Our houses did not get looted. I purchased my first gun six months later on my way to relocating back to DC. Have had two ever since. Maybe one day I'll be able to help a neighbor out like I was helped.

Why don't you instead help everyone, and put your gun in your mouth and blow your brains out,?

Ahhhh. The anti-gun, violent pro-suicide with a gun guy. IQ of 55. Go back to smoking your meth bowl bud.

That is not going to happen. The political risk and practical logistics are too daunting, even for the gun control crowd. More likely they will significantly restrict new sales and manufacture via direct bans and huge taxes, layer on some burdensome storage requirements, and radically expand red flag laws to make it easier to target particular individuals to disarm.

If gun ownership is outlawed, many will not comply. Nobody's got the stomach to go house to house to confiscate, so there they will stay.
