I don't view shooting as a recreational sport
Why not? Is it because it's not physically involved enough to count as a sport?
Nope. I just view guns as intrinsically dangerous tools that I grudgingly accept that police need to use. I don't really think that non-police, non-military folks should have guns.

And that members of law enforcement and the military should only use guns in the carrying out of their professional/military duties. Obviously this includes training as necessary in the proper use of said weapons.
I know that's an extreme position, and one that my brother the hunter gives me a lot of shit for, but I'm willing to make ordinary citizens pissed off if it means reducing needless fatalities.

I'd give up my gun if it guaranteed jackholes didn't get them. IE, people who go into gyms and classrooms and museums and public meets with little dicks and big guns.
IJS, the little bugger would figure out how to defeat any security we could come up with. He can combine creativity and intelligence with terrifying effectiveness.
IJS, this is a level of awareness that not everybody else who would otherwise own weapons shows.

Yup. I want to keep guns out of the hands of those jackholes. Dude who showed up at the presidential health care town hall with an AK-47? Seriously, explain to me why ANY non-law enforcement, non-military person needs an AK-goddamn-47.

That's a rhetorical "explain to me," not directed at connie.
I had this weird dream where I killed someone with a screwdriver like that. I rammed it into the bottom of his chin up into his brain. (It was self-defense.)
Well, I know who's never getting invited over to Calli's place.
It all depends—will Glen Beck or Rush Limbaugh be there too?
No weapons except Leif.
I think he still collects nuts, bolts, wires, and other metal things he can sneak. He says they are for the robot he's going to build.

True, an AR-15 is a better rifle and it's not a commie made gun.

See, I knew someone would see the light!
...wait.
Also no food, schools, or clean water, but hey! Guns
You mean not paying for the food, schools and clean water of lazy fucking poor people!
too many black folks, too, mostly
Pfft. We're
post-racial
now. Hell, even Nazis can be black guys and gay jews now.
Someone remind me that trepanation is NOT a good headache solution. It's starting to sound v. v. appealing.
Sure, people
say
that but I've had headaches where I'm pretty sure they're all birthers.
No weapons in our house until Leif has moved out
Good call my friend.
I'm not so much worried that he'd use as that he'd soup it up and then use it for something REALLY COOL.
I've got Wüsthofs.
Gesundheit?
It's already going to be a miracle if I make it through the day without punching someone in the face. I don't need to be armed.
They should put that on one of those 'kitten hanging from a limb' posters.
I see it as a recreational sport, but not an athletic sport.
Though there are certainly athletic aspects -- aim, focus, strenght, impressing babes...
Well, I know who's never getting invited over to Calli's place.
Besides Leif, that is -- he'd have that sucker rigged to a trebuchet or a potato cannon in no time.
It all depends—will Glen Beck or Rush Limbaugh be there too?
Were you perhapse on a death panel?
I think he still collects nuts, bolts, wires, and other metal things he can sneak. He says they are for the robot he's going to build.
A self-reparing battlefield zombie robot? Hey, the military says
they
aren't going to do it. It's Leif or North Korea as long as Joe is tied up with that transporter.
