You know, Ive only had to draw down on a person a handfull of times.
I got to say its not a good feeling, and Ive never actualy shot a person ( that I will admit too anyway lmao).

That's extremely profound Robin. The whole statement. And well worded and precise. heh.. it gave me a complete moment of clarity.

I can see why things happen. And why people do things. Guns are no exception. I totally get both sides. But yeah.. I can't deal with them personally. The only time I ever shot one (other then a pellet gun), I burst out crying immediately. The person I was shooting with thought it was the sound and the kick back that shocked me. But it wasn't. It was the complete sense of awe that I felt. It was something I felt before, but was consecrated by the act. Guns are just.. awesome, in the sense they ilicit an overwhelming feeling of reverence. But for me it was a reverence that I don't want in my hands. The power is what made me overwhelmed, and sort of sad. But for other people, it's a different kind of reverece. Still respectful, but other people embrace guns. We're al just .. different.

^ Wow. I totally agree, and I can understand your reaction. I've only shot several times before, and yeah, it does give you that sense of complete power for that moment you're hand is clutching the greatest and most evil thing made by men.

I was raised around them, My late father was a Navy SEAL.
It isnt the fealing of power, it isnt the awsome feeling of holding the most evil thing in the world ( a gun is only as evil as the person using it, much like a hammer or a car).
Its just the fact that you can hit a 3 inch target from 100 meters with open sights. To me its a zen thing.
Like Ive said in another forum, I would not have a problem shooting a person that comes in my home on me, but,, there are still too many inocent people killed by firearms.
Mainly by people that are suposed to be licensed to carry them ( ie cops).
I know what its like to hold someone at gunpoint, been there and did that. The overwhelming feeling that this person is at your mercey, and that you can end a life with the flick of a finger.
But thats no diferent than driving down a street crowded with pedestrians .
