Actually, from what I understand, the point of the 2nd amendment is for people to be able to form a militia if the government ever gets out of hand.
Which makes what these idiots are doing ironically sensible, & it also makes it the stupidest part of the Constitution. If the government doesn't want to be challenged, it'll take the guns early on.

I always laugh when the religious get all bent out of shap about gun control laws. I mean - if you have one, then the athiest next door and the gay couple down the street can have one too. How does that make you safer? Yeah I've thought that too...do they honestly think that none of us have guns??? Yes. Obviously, because all of the atheistic, gay liberals are trying to get rid of the guns. Presumably so they can't shoot Vatican ninjas and the Antichrist's demons.

The funny thing is that realistic toy guns are now illegal. They have to be painted with orange stripes and have visibly blocked barrels. But you can still buy actual real guns that can be used to shoot people at your local Wal-Mart. On the upside, this does make Wal-Mart a one stop shop for all of your zombie apocalypse needs.

This would make the 2nd (I think) Home Alone movie impossible.

... Well maybe I could understand a pump action shotgun, too. Nothing will make a burglar piss his pants faster than hearing a shotgun cocking. A chain gun whirring to life will. Fear benefits religion in a lot of ways, even if they're not Rapture (Or even Fundie) folks. Hell, I was at a friends place one day and we were in the basement. His dad has a .22 and he started waving it around then pointed it at me. Even though it wasn't loaded I still damn near shit my pants. Maybe I'm a massive coward but I'm pretty I'm not alone when it comes to being freaked the hell out when it comes to a gun being pointed at you.

WHAT. THE FUCK.
Harley, did your FRIEND point it at you or did his father? It's completely unacceptable either way. I don't even own a gun and I never intend to and I really, really don't like them, but even I know that you never, EVER, EVER!!!!! point a gun at anything you don't intend to kill. Even in jest. So many gun mishaps involve the phrase, "BUT I THOUGHT IT WAS UNLOADED!"
Geezis shit.

It was my friend who had it and being a dumbass. Although I'm more afraid of the dog he had than the gun. Atleast after the trigger was pulled and all I heard was a click I'm a little less jumpy. While the bigass mean as Hell dog took a chunk out of my pant leg and damn near my leg.

Maybe I'm a massive coward but I'm pretty I'm not alone when it comes to being freaked the hell out when it comes to a gun being pointed at you. That is stupid and malicious, bordering on criminal. Never hang out with that person ever again. Last time someone pointed an "unloaded" gun at me, the minute he set it down I clocked him in the face. Hard. Everybody thinks "Oh, it's unloaded" until, you know, it goes off. ALWAYS ASSUME A GUN IS LOADED, EVEN IF IT IS PARTIALLY DISASSEMBLED. Where I go bird hunting (a small farmhouse on a friend's ranch), there is a series of small holes. One in the wall between the living room and the kitchen; another, directly opposite the first, in the wall between the kitchen and the bathroom. If you walk into the bathroom, you will see that the hole sits perfectly behind where somebody's head would be if they were sitting on the shitter. In large, permanent marker, on the wall next to each bullet hole, is written "EMPTY GUN!!!" Gun safety is no laughing matter. I hate to come off as obsessed, but it's incredibly important and people wouldn't have such a bad image of guns if we didn't have assholes treating them like toys. </rant>

Holy shit that was stupid of him. It was my friend who had it and being a dumbass. Although I'm more afraid of the dog he had than the gun.

Was it pointed at you when he did this?

Fear benefits religion in a lot of ways, even if they're not Rapture (Or even Fundie) folks. That's not quite true. After all, not every burglar would be gun-savvy enough to know the sound of a minigun warming up. The CHA-CHACK! of a shotgun, however, is nearly impossible to mistake for any other sound.

I dunno...that whirring sound would make me pause and go....huh? Ironbite-though yeah...the shotgun cocking would make me piss my pants.

I have no problems with responsible gun owners, I only ones who shouldn't have guns are criminals, the retards that run around spouting paranoid shit, and those who play around with guns.

Which makes what these idiots are doing ironically sensible, & it also makes it the stupidest part of the Constitution. If the government doesn't want to be challenged, it'll take the guns early on. The militia was the primary body pf the military, so it's hard to say your assessment is correct. It also makes little sense in current times because we do have a dedicated military now, and if it really ever became us against them, they would totally own our asses. Yeah I've thought that too...do they honestly think that none of us have guns??? Hell, half my friends are in the NRA. I try to forgive them for it, but... The funny thing is that realistic toy guns are now illegal. They have to be painted with orange stripes and have visibly blocked barrels. But you can still buy actual real guns that can be used to shoot people at your local Wal-Mart. On the upside, this does make Wal-Mart a one stop shop for all of your zombie apocalypse needs. Does Wal-Mart still sell guns? They pulled them from New England over a year ago, and I was told that it was part of a much larger plan to pull guns out of all their stores. Maybe it wasn't true, or hadn't happened yet... I have no problems with responsible gun owners, I only ones who shouldn't have guns are criminals, the retards that run around spouting paranoid shit, and those who play around with guns. It's hard to allow the first group and not the rest.

It's not like our military has ever had problems when trying to occupy territory held by people who don't want them there, having little more than second-hand military hardware and cleverly devised explosives. Oh wait...
