What is your opinion on guns?

I’m a Canadian so I don’t see very many guns unless you have a hunter or two in the family with a rifle or two.

Although I never held a real gun and I FEAR them with every fibre of my being. I respect those who love guns and their rights to do so!

I fear guns but the person holding it is a different story, I know most people with guns have a level head because you can’t be irrational with a gun.

I'm Canadian too.

I shot guns plenty when I was in the military. They're like a lot of tools - dangerous to some people and useful to others.

But anyone who wants to play with military-grade firearms should join the military to do it, and be subject to a chain of command and military discipline, or they're just playing out some some immature childish fantasy.

@DealingWithTrouble Well first things first. THANK YOU for your service sir! 🥹

So like a chainsaw is to me? I see a CJ sundae as a VERY HANDY TOOL! However I realize and respect the dangers of operating one.

For myself I always enjoyed the idea of a military job like a tank or vehicle mechanic. Maybe a grunt who runs the real men bullets and food/aid on the battle field!

@Sleepysheep please don't say that "thank you for your service" stuff to me. It's just a job.

@DealingWithTrouble but I might point out that an AR 15 is NOT a military grade weapon. Also it is not AUTOMATIC. You have to pull the trigger each time. It is NOT a high powered weapon. Must states it is to light to legally hunt deer. Suitable for hunting coyotes, muskrats etc.
