Nah personally I don't like any guns. I like studying guns used in previous wars and knowing history and evolution of them. However, I would never own one besides perhaps a BB or pellet gun (which I currently have a BB gun for shooting beer cans). I've gone out to a buddies ranch and fired of a 40 and 45 recently. I am more comfortable for people having pistols than semi automatic rifles though considering a pistol's accuracy range is far less than a rifle. A revolver would take a little more time reloading though than a gun with clips which would make it harder to kill a ton of people in a mass shooting. Sure one can do a lot of damage if you carry around a few pistols but these days it is pretty obvious that mass shooters prefer the killing power of a semi automatic rifle such as an AR15 over a pistol. Anyways, I'm pretty comfortable with people using revolvers to defend themselves due to the nature of longer reloading process. |
Why the focus on mass-shooting events when there are tons of more preventable homocides to address? Mass shootings makes up less than 1% of all homicides.
