RE: Joss could have learned from his better characters
no need to hold back, I am no left-winger anymore in many respects and I admit I was brainwashed in that respect in school, but I am rather confident on my stance on guns.
There is one thing about never having fired a firearm, I am pretty sure I would love guns, I like the engineering and the feeling that my cock just doubled in size as soon as I hold a gun. Oh yeah I held one before and that felt really good.
The game my avatar is from is Jagged Alliance 2 and you have a lot of authentic guns in there, always even giving a short witty backstory to the gun.
My last point would be that I am a big guy. Not really huge, but quite strong. I am pretty sure I can kill 80% of all other males with my bare hands. I lose that advantage when guns come into play. I can also adapt the damage I do. With a gun its always a hospitalizing wound with a threat of being lethal.
I've never gotten a sexual thrill from a gun. That seems to be unique to people who are ignorant about (or hate) guns. If you actually learned about guns, you'd realize your previous confidence was based on lies you've been told.
With a gun-- usually you can stop the threat without even firing a shot, due to the fact that the bad guy doesn't want to risk being killed or hospitalized. So, again, you can adapt the damage you do; an appropriate level depending on the actions of the attacker. I'll never understand why anti-gunners imagine it is more ethical to kill an attacker with your bare hands than by shooting them. The result is the same, but I suppose governments can ban hands, so that explains a lot of it.
I don't even care if someone makes the individual choice to reject guns. What I hate is when they imagine their ignorance and fear entitles them to dictate their choice onto everyone else. And that's the difference between simply not liking guns and being an anti-gun bigot.
yup, I told you. In that regard I am exactly the person you hate. I like guns, if it was legal I would buy one most likely. However I don't want the idiots around me to have them.
