Do you own a firearm? If so how many?

[Santti]

None. I have no need for them.

[Vyxn]

What a dumb video, half the weapons there are not even shotguns.

shows you that you are very knowledgeable about guns. Only one could be mistaken for not being a shot gun and that is the second women all the rest are unmistakable shot guns other then the women shooting the AR15

[Skarssen]

- Rock River LAR-15
- Glock 21
- Sig Sauer p226

don't have one don't need one

[Naxere]

Don't own, but everyone keeps telling me I should buy a shotgun for when my daughter gets older

[Skarssen]

I own none and don't know how to use them either.

Sounds like American politicians that try to legislate against "assault rifles". They don't know what they are talking about either.

[Titan2k10]

Why on earth would I provide a comprehensive list of firearms that I may or may not own?

[Kalis]

I own zero, am entitled to one (if I ever go back to Cyprus, due to being a member of the Cypriot army - good luck with that Kypros), have used them on a number of occasions, and see absolutely no reason why I would ever need to own one unless I take up some sport that requires their use.

Because clearly the NSA is monitoring your online traffic.....

I agree that nothing beats a shotgun for home defence, I always cringe when people try arguing that an AR is better.

Yeah shotguns and handguns are the way to go. The AR is too unwieldy and weak for home defense, unless its an outdoors situation. I only use the AR for the range or hunting small game. The game warden doesn't like people hunting deer with AR-15s because they don't die quick enough with the .223 and it's inhumane unless its a head or neck shot.

I exaggerated when I said half but the video clearly shows more than just regular shotguns, you don't put scopes on shotguns unless you are a complete prat, That fool did it to on purpose to inure that woman.

I hate videos that are edited to only show one side of the story, I could do the same thing with AR's proving how poor they are for home defence.

[Sorshen]

No firearm. No gun culture where I live. I don't see any reason to own one right now or in the future.

[Howard Moon]

Nope. IMO the danger of having one in the house outweights any feeling of safety I might get out of it.

[Elegiac]

Seven rifles, three handguns, and a shotgun.

[Deleted]

Zero, there isn't a gun culture in Scotland.

[Deleted]

Zero, there isn't a gun culture in Scotland.

Hunting is still a big thing in Scotland, its where i go.

[Dezerte]

I have none.

Reason: No hobby-interest in them and I feel safe where I live.

please show me a video of an AR15 putting a women on her ass from firing it would love to see it. an AR15 only has 14 ft pounds of kick compared to a 12ga that has about 54 that is over 3 times the kick

[Deleted]

People need more than 1 gun for home defence?

You Americans... what will you do next?

2 pounds makes a big difference? As for the kick it is not a problem if you train with it, as you should with all firearms.
