Hi friends,

.22LR, it's cheap and available. Searching for 9mm around here is it's own little scavenger hunt. ~:rolleyes:
9mm or multiple potatos
Guns are bad.
You should not use them.
12 gauge
Only have a bb-gun. It's fun to shoot at bottles. Like shooting with my awesome recurve bow. It shoots HARD, and I can hit anything within 20 meters.
Frag, you would love the US I feel
Already love the mindset of the Americans, I think I will one day end up there. I may have been born in Europe but I don't really ought to be here. The Netherlands may look like a free country because there are some civil liberties that don't exist anywhere else, but the reality is a patronising intrusive government. A false feminine smile. Oddly enough. I want to go to Detroit. That city fascinates me.Quote:

You should not consider guns as being able to offer joy.Quote:

My most beautiful moment was when we stole a couple of corns, together with my granny, in the marshy fields of Drama. Stealing, although illegal, could be enjoyable, especially if your chances of success are high, but beheading bean-eating birds?!Quote:

My recurve bow is also very lethal, it will shoot right through you with a razorhead. Still regarded as sport, not a weapon. Shooting is fun.Quote:

anyways, if you want to talk politics, go to the backroom. PM the moderators if you're that desperate to pontificate, to let you in. or just go to the mudpit at the twcenter. don't just tell us what you think we ought to do--you have no divine powers.
it is only lethal when it kills someone or something, and is not necessarily mutually exclusive (or while we're at it, inclusive) with being joyful/enjoyable--and whether the two mixing is appropriate or not depends on the circumstances. this can also be said about hammers, knives, swords (since you know, "designed to kill", right?), your bare hands, etc, etc.Quote:

but again, this is for the backroom, not the frontroom.
if any moderators want to take this digression elsewhere, be my guest.
Exactement. Candar, an arrow in your heart will probably kill you in 20 seconds, liver is going to take a little longer, but you will absolutily die. I can easily make a shot like that from a reasonable distance. But I am not aiming at anything that is alive, I would never hurt anything. It's a joy to place your target and hit it with extreme accuracy, you are like a watchmaker when an arrow hits axectly the place you had in mind. Shooting a pistol is not easy, it's pretty damn hard, give it a try.
Since my first post, I have access to the Backroom (already contributed), but rather unfortunately that's not the case for the Mudpit.Quote:

A possible way for the humanity to vehiculate her murderous insticts could be the video-games. Disposing of a blood-thirsty dremora with a sneak attack might save a human life, in the near future.Quote:

With the "bloodthirsty" comment, I was referring to the servants of Mehrunes Dagon, not the athletes. Of course, massacring hordes of these vicious creatures, as an attempt to limit similar urges seems a bit ironic, doesn't it?Quote:

Would I turn the argument against you, you have a lot more to explain. You conquer countries and whipe out entire armies after all. They never asked to be killed or conquered. I fight people who fight voluntary, and we always stop when it gets messy. On a scale of one to ten, how far do think your argument will hold.
I only play Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.
There, you only throw spells to overly-aggressive snails which just make them a little dizzy.
Well, once, I unthoughtfully threw a gnome into a canyon, but it was an accident and, after all, its body was never recovered, so theoritically it is just missing, not necessarily dead.
You should play that game, too. Relaxing, peaceful and surprisingly not boring, even for the excited youth.
I am 37, hardly excited youth. Just don't see a problem in shooting at cards. A gun can kill someone, yeah. But you have to shoot at someone with the intention to kill, and I would never want to do that. I sometimes shoot with firearms at a mate, great fun. It's in the middle of nowhere it's perfectly safe. It's nice to feel the recoil when firing a bullet, it's fun to watch a bottle explode. It can be toys if you only use it as toys. Dangerous toys sure, no arguing that. But if you don't point it at anyone it's not going to harm anyone.
That looks very strange after the previous sentence.... ~;)Quote:
