[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So many of these replies are, “tell me you’re an urban, liberal elite without telling me you’re an urban liberal elite.”[/quote]

[b]You never read about toddlers of urban liberal elite non gun-owners accidentally shooting their sibling with a gun they found in their mom’s purse. So not the own you think this is. [/b]

And you can talk all you want about gun safety but people make mistakes. I knew a guy who dated a friend of mine; he was an NRA member and liked to mock her urban liberal elite friends and he died when he accidentally shot himself cleaning his gun. She married another guy a few years later and had kids and has been living her best life and he was dead at 24. But at least he owned us libs. [/quote]

I feel fine with my choices of avoiding guns in my home. If someone wants to mock me (as many pps seem to enjoy) I really don’t care. I know that these sorts of “accidents” will just simply not happen here, and I’m comforted by that thought.

I really am struggling to understand the rabid gun-loving view that you’d put a weapon above the wants and feelings of your partner. Even if people have different views on it, as op and her dh seem to, part of being married is compromising and discussing things as a family. Unilaterally choosing to alter your home life so drastically without discussion is just immature and unreasonable.[/quote]

This overly-dramatic response is so pathetic. OP didn't have a conversation about her feelings upfront, despite her husband being honest and clear that he was taking up shooting as a hobby. Buying a gun isn't an "out of the blue" move at this point, and characterizing same as "unilaterally choosing to alter your home life so drastically" is fscking ridiculous. It's an inanimate object that is currently in a gun safe. Have the conversation you should've already had about it and quit being a hypersensitive tw@. [/quote]
I don’t really care what you think of me. Resorting to name calling because I don’t consider “hey I bought this” as communication says more about you. I don’t believe in bulldozing a partner in a marriage. Maybe you do. Maybe that’s why yours hasn’t worked out (or ever materialized). It’s a dangerous item, and is yes, unilaterally changing their home environment.

Why do you keep saying OP needed to speak up? But her husband taking multiple steps and NOT communicating until after is totes fine? Bizarre double standard.[/quote]
