How do you even find this post but yes I don’t think it changed for me. When I grab a pistol the weight and precision is ominous and solemn. I know that it is specifically made to produce spills of blood and brain on the floor in split seconds. This in turn makes it impossible to lightheartedly enjoy or have fun handling it, cracking jokes left and right with beer and bbq.

Thanks for your valuable input

It’s all a bit of a cope, deep down there is this primal call that isn’t easily shrugged off. Well for some at least. I know that it will get stronger for me and stronger with each year.

I am not saying the purpose of humans nowadays is to make children nor that we should be reduced to such concepts but… it’s not easy to escape millions of years of evolution. It is definitely going against everything that screams “multiply” deep down and that will take mental health toll

I think that people in USA may be more different from those of Western Europe than I even imagined. It was very cool experience. Ive even grown a bit from it and crystallised my fundamentals. It was an unexpectedly productive chat

You will meet hundreds like me. Not quite me but just like me. And you will keep meeting them and they will say exactly same thing. They are me and you will meet me in each of them.

Just like I do it now. Whenever somebody advocates for some violent idea I will always voice my opposition without hesitation even if that ruins the jolly revolution mood.

Kill only in your name alone and face the consequences but if you kill in the name of some noble idea then you ruin it and corrupt it. You are no part of whatever good you think you are.

Sorry but your experiences are meaningless here. It’s the basic fundamental thing not some comfort. Wherever you are advocating for violence, you will meet me opposing you.

I will always be there.

Yes. This is also nutty and I don’t think you can manage to change my mind. All the violent lemmings are a creepy. You are disturbing.

Even my country which struggled with communism for years, freed itself from the red oppression not by violence but by peaceful negotiations after mass worker strikes.

I know you lot. You pretend to want to solve problems but deep inside you just want to kill someone and get away with it. I have no respect for you.

Okay but this is a movie. If you aren’t below certain age you do not mistake this with reality

It’s not that such situations never happened but they weren’t anywhere as inglorious and cool. Yeah some brain went on the walls. Someone shat themselves in pre death agony uttering incredible smell, someone went deaf from shooting in a small room and got killed right after. It’s just not that cool

There are sooo many cool things why killing each other must be the stuff some ppl find so exciting. It happens and it’s messy and grim. There’s nothing exciting about our innards. It’s fucking disgusting and revolting even

That’s just power fantasy, it doesn’t matter who is on the receiving end as long as they are the good guys

But to be clear I talk about some very specific breed. You can have a gun and not be a nutjob. It isn’t that rare though for someone to have this righteous fantasy

Thank you! You have a way with words.

If you don’t see what I mean by now I think we will never understand each other and must just move on to avoid pointless word exchange

I have my weekly limits for ridiculous hair splitting debates on the web

It’s really not that hard to understand “I hate guns because they are made for killing”. It’s not some kind of attack on you

It’s about efficiency and power difference. Not everything is black and white, despite your attempts

You do not see people with bows going around and one shooting people cmon. Let us be serious please

I hate guns because they are there just to kill things. I do not take pleasure in killing things. I would still own a gun if I had to

It’s simple as that

Have I disturbed the peace of this community

Kill the poor thing quickly and painless.

But you do not need an assault rifle with incendiary ammunition for that. You just use a tool for the job. You do not glaze over your remington or what have you.

You use it and then close it up. Nice. It has served for something beneficial. Once in a blue moon

I am sure they are made for hog hunting. “Hog hunt today with HK”

Gun defenders are always like this. Historical this, historical that but in truth they just want a license to kill.

I know that on Lemmy there are many bloodthirsty motherfuckers who just go to sleep imagining saving the world with a smoking 92fs. Not because it would help anyone but because they are kinky like that

There are what I feel neutral guns and more dark guns. For example sport guns shooting .22 LR do not trigger me so to say. Maybe because I used to be a sport shooter when young. Hunting guns also. But HK MP5? Well it has no other purpose. It exists to inflict as much damage in the shortest amount of time to a human body.
