Do you have a gun?

[RCMerchant]

I used to until about 9 years ago.

I had a 12 gauge single shot. It's gone for reasons I'll say if you really care.

Back in 1981, I had a 30-30 rifle, a .22 rifle, an over and under 12 gauge shotgun, and a 12 gauge pump. But I usta hunt!
I own no guns now.

Do I have A gun? No.

I have an old Stevens C96 by Savage Arms that belonged to my dad.

[RCMerchant]

I'm thinking about buying another 12 gauge single shot. An old timer.

A few of my friends like to make action movies....
I went overboard earlier this year buying second hand Denix replicas, & now I play Travis Bickle a lot.

Do I have A gun? No. 

She's got an arsenal.

I was wrong.
It's a 94C 20 gauge 2-3/4 inch... Not sure, but I think it's full choke....

[Olivia Bauer]

Never. We used to have a bow, though.

I have a pump action 12 gauge shotgun for critter control here on the ranch.
Honestly, with wild hogs getting so bad, I'm thinking of getting a handgun for my river trips, though.

I grew up in a war zone and with Dad in the Police, I had guns in my life almost from day one: I remember Dad handing me his (unloaded) Uzi and telling me: "Here son: go scare the crap out of the neighbours."

This worked OK until some idiot called the cops on me 

Right now? No guns. South African gun laws are very strict and it is an expensive and long process to get a gun licence.

Would you be surprised to know I've never bought a gun in my life?

(And an arsenal would cause more problems than it'd be worth, from high insurance to making its owner a target of thieves and even possibly the government.)

I own a pistol my grandfather gave me when I was a teenager, I have the small but nice collection of guns (easily fit in a small upright locked cabinet) he left me in his will, and two other guns I don't talk about. In Texas someone taught me to break an AK-47 down blindfolded, which earned me no end of praise down there, that a Yankee could do that. (Somehow being born in Kentucky and living on the Mason-Dixon Line made me a Yankee, go figure.)

But I've never bought a gun.

C'est finis.

The government does not want to take your gun, ER. In this land- it's a losing battle.
Gun control is not about taking your gun. It's about keeping guns out of the hands of psycho a***oles. I don't trust myself with a gun no more because I'm getting old and crazy and just might shoot some dumb f**k if I get too drunk and stupid.
I did shot somebody, and that was myself. With a 12 gauge. It jumped and put  hole in the roof of my apartment. I lied to my landlord and said it was an accident. My neighbor Mike knew better.He was a crazy old f**ker who collected  "Master of Kung Fu" comics. He was a nice guy.He's dead now. He had cancer.He was cool! I miss him. What was I talking about.

Other than water guns I don't, and probably for the best so far.

[ER]

No, RC, if someone owns "an arsenal" that person is on the government's radar screen.  People can and do have their firearms confiscated, cataloged. Owning many guns also makes you at risk for being robbed. How's that for a paradox?  It's best not to stockpile guns and ammunition.

Plus guns have the potential in so many ways to cause a lot of problems in life.
