My Guns Are Failures

Who ever knew?...

I bought my first firearm 25 years ago, a shotgun for home defense. Shortly after this first purchase came a .22 LR rifle for target shooting and then a 9mm pistol for self-defense. Sure there were family guns prior to these but this was the start of my personal collection. There have been many many more since then that have come into my life and due to varying reasons many of those have subsequently left my supervision. All this time I've felt proud of these guns, the shotgun provided protection against possible intruders on a couple occasions and on one other occasion my pistol served me well in a self-defense situation, or so I thought it did at that time.

Apparently all of my guns are abject failures. The shotgun that protected me? Failure. The pistol that protected me? Failure. The rifle used to shoot for high score? Failure. I can thank the anti-gun crowd for my new found knowledge. It seems that none of my guns were made for these things, not for self-defense or for target shooting, they were only designed and produced to kill people. As such my guns are failures.

    I reserve the term "Failure" for the anti-gun crowd.

    I have a few that, for absolute sure, are not failures. They are military designs, and has such, only designed to kill people...and have....

    The left is right...these guns were meant to be on the battlefield, and thats were they served.......

    what are they?...well, one is a Springfield .58 caliber muzzleloader, used in the war between the states...it has the scary rate of fire of 3 rounds a minute......

    They other is a spencer carbine....its the most evil of all....its a lever action repeater....it was also designed for war. You can load it on sunday and shoot people all week!

    These guns a clearly very dangerous.....they are more powerful and larger caliber than a bb gun....they are too dangerous to be owned by a citazen like me!!!!!

    ^^^ Who told you a BB gun is not dangerous?

    You could put your eye out with one of those things....

    I'll venture to bet your guns are also ignorant to the fact, that. THEY are supposed to initiate the killing sprees...
    NOT you doing so, by pulling the trigger! Who would'a thunk it... Damn guns are LAZY introverts...

    I've kept one at the front door for a long while... Watching it intently...
    NEVER ONCE... Did it initiate stopping someone from coming in the door... NEVER!!!

    Might as well get rid of every one of 'em... They don't do what I've been told they really do... [:(!]
    I want to get one of those 'evil' black assault weapons... I'm told THEY are lazy, they do their job...
    They'll jump up and initiate the fight from a standing in the corner position!!!
    They're supposed to "Get The Job Done" and then some... !!!

    Yep... All I got are lazy, stupid, incapable of doing ANYTHING... pieces of metal and plastic.

    I'M APPALLED ... !!! [:(!][:(!][:(!]

    BB guns have been used to kill people.
    Not in massives numbers or deliberately but still.

    how dare you even think about using a gun to defend yourself! Guns are evil. Not counting the countless crimes they stop everyday they are the worst thing since...

    I think you are wrong. Losers is the more appropriate term!

    I'm afraid that a number of my collection have been successful killers. Most of them served in WWII.

    Well I can really only speak to their behavior while under my charge and to that point they've, as retroxler kindly pointed out, been lazy introverts. [:D][:D] Thanks for that description! I'll be using it often. [8D]

    Although, to be fair, one of my rifles, a Japanese Arisaka Type 38, must have been a failure because it has a pair of .30 caliber holes right through the stock. It didn't even slow down those American bullets much as they passed through and into its unfortunate previous owner.

    I will go out on a limb and say 99%+ of all guns have never killed people. Those guns in active war zones are the real dangerous ones.
