Why Do You Need It?

USA has a gun culture problem.

Did you know you can buy handguns and automatic rifles in USA and depending on the state laws.. depends if you even have to register it, licence it, report it missing or even tell anyone you own one.

Ok, arguments for owning a wepon.

1. Self defence
2. Protection of property
3. Hunting
4. Sports interest
5. Decorative use.

1. Self defence.. ok, i understand that some parts of the USA are "troubled" and the need to carry a wepon is a must if you want to survive a trip to the local 7 - 11 or the post office. and for that, i understand why you would need a gun. But, the most you would ever need is a Tazer, a cattle prod, or a small hand gun such as the .38 smith and wesson or maybe at the very most a colt 1911 or a simular handgun.. why would you need an AR 15 or an M 16 or a M 50 or a Cold Commando or an Uzi 9mm????

2. Protection of Property.. ok, some farmers for instance are waaay out in the wilderness.. and yeah, it is also part of the "self defence" remit.. and yeah, you could be faced with wild bears and wolves and maybe some night stalker shagging your sheep.. and yeah i can understand a hand gun would be pretty crap when your target is 300 meters away. Apart from the fact that you could always just take photos and then report it to the cops and have "evidence" to hand to them..preferably a face and a photo of the crime.. why would you again.. need any weapon at all? I would still agree a hand gun is best here, as really.. is it worth shooting someone for if your sheep get violated or a bear attacks your prize cow?

3. Hunting.. ok, as a sport i would understand.. and most hunters are actually quiet switched on when they choose thier weapon.. usually a single shot rifle or a shotgun.. and they tend to only ever use it for the purpose of hunting. so, i would agree with thier weapons choice. and why they have one. this also includes the "sports interest" so add number 4 here too.

5. Decoration.. again i understand here.. most people would only want the rifle and not the ammunition to shoot anything with and i understand these people as well.


So, with that in mind.. what is "overkill" on "home defence"? .. I would say, anything over a handgun is over kill and only shows how paranoid the home owner is.. its either that or they fancy themselves as Rambo or GI Joe or some Commando or something and the over kill on weapons choice is solely for the purpose of them staying away from the Valium... its either that or they seen one too many Schwartzennegger movies and fancy themselves as the new age Burt Gummer and they think the communists are heading over to wipe the yanks out.. or its either that or they think the Aliens are coming.. conclusion.. Mentally unstable?

And owning a weapon of military spec.. when you are not in the military and not expecting the invasion of aliens and flying sausers is the main problem i feel. And the fact that "anyone" can buy one and own one and not tell the cops that you have one and when they have drinking and drug problems or are paranoid and mentally fucked in the head.. only one outcome is gonna happen.. bang bang... 20 children dead.
