A serious question: Why the hell do you guys need guns?

I haz this!!

"It's REALLY powerful, ESPECIALLY against living things!"

defense/protection

recreation

hunting

sport

they're fun.

better question: why not?

I hunt some but mostly I just get together with friends and shoot stuff.  Targets, skeet, mounds of dirt, trees etc...

I don't know why but shooting is a fun way to kill a Saturday and it's challenging to get good at it.

What really? That is dumb, what's the point then?

I'm not a gun nut but I do own a few guns. I'm formally trained and proficient with them, too. At my job, we actually use modified weapons and shoot at each other for training purposes, quite often.

I own a Glock 17c 9mm, a Sig Sauer 40 cal, and a P32 that I've never shot--I don't know what caliber it is! I also own a shotgun that was issued to me on my last job (Sheriff's deputy) that they never even asked me to return. In fact, I have all of my cop stuff. The only reason I don't still have a Taser and a patrol car is that I voluntarily turned them in. My old boss actually wanted me to keep the car in case something happened and he needed to call in people in an emergency. Little did he know that, at the time, I had no intentions of ever returning!

i wish!

if i were to have a gun the first would be an S&W500

another lol moment 

I never understood why North Americans are so into guns. Reading the gun names is like reading Chinese to me, Guess that's why shooters are so popular over there.

Personally, I have never owned or met anyone who owned a gun. The closest I've been is seeing policemen with them a few times, especially in airports.

Aah that's too bad. A lot more strict than Canada. Here the only things that are prohibited are fully automatic guns and pistols that are less than 4 inches (too easy to conceal I guess).
