    Im pro-rights, pro-constitution, and therefore pro-gun.

    IMO, many Americans are unfamiliar with guns, rights, and the constitution.

    I'd like to hear anyone who is not Pro-gun arguments.

    Convince me, I only ask that you watch this first.

    How, in a free country, can someone propose to abolish a tool that can be fabricated in a home workshop?

    All of it. Every single bit of knowledge necessary to build a firearm, and ammunition exists at the fingertips of anyone with half a brain and a bit of spare time.

    You can't abolish the function of functional technology. Once the concept exists and is disseminated people will replicate and improve it.

    Ever watch the slingshot channel guy? He lives in a heavily regulated area. But I guarantee that if you give him a keg of lager and a Sunday afternoon he'll engineer a home made machine that will solve any ballistic problem you want solved.

    Ps. There was a really funny one where a gun leant against something, fell over and fired. The gunman was then seen hobbling around in a small circle saying I've shot myself in the f***ing leg!

    I had a client that laughs about the fact that he put himself in a wheelchair by running himself over with this own truck after forgetting to throw it in park as he jumped out to try to stop his boat from rolling into his house.

    I never found it all that funny.

    The technical term for these people is "moron".

    There are only 4 rules to handling a firearm. It's not rocket science, but it needs to be as natural as breathing.

    To shoot yourself or someone else, you have to break at least 2 of them.

    We could also discuss the lack of humor in chain saw accidents, high voltage power line accidents, oil well catastrophes. If we're going to mock the danger inherent to guns, we might as well mock the danger involved in all aspects of our modern comfortable lives. It's not like we live in glass houses made of lumber, powered by electricity and oil.

    Forgotten where it came from, but the funny thing is that these people are dealing with a machine for killing , and it nearly kills them. You'd think they'd be aware of the danger and the need to follow gun safety rules- if they are aware of gun safety rules.

    We are going to need you to remember where "things" came from.

    Tragic, I know, in light of stripping Americans of their rights.

    I follow safety rules, they prevent innocents from being killed.

    Just need your "machine for killing" stats.

    Ive never seen a machine for killing without high standards.

    The above aside, I'd like to know why people shot strike you as funny.

    So, if you don't seat the ball, you can blow up the barrel.

    :lol:

    If you try to ram a ball down a dirty barrel, you could get it stuck.

    No? Didn't convince you, yet? I'll keep trying.

    What do you think a gun is for?
    You don't need stats.

    Sorry, I was mixing up two you tube clips.

    What is a gun for?

    Why don't you need stats, kiddo?

    Could it be your assertions need more?

    Enjoyed that video. Thanks.

    If you don't knap your flint properly, it won't spark and the FFF in your pan won't ignite.

    If your powder is wet, you can replace it in the pan, but it may not ignite the main charge. You'll have a "flash in the pan".

    No? Well, maybe later.

    There are more deaths by unintentionally falling. Maybe folks should stay on the couch at home and be banned from life. :lol:

    Looking through some of them, they just appear to show someone reacting to heavy recoil, they aren't accidents. But, I always liked these for heavy recoil.

    When I was taught to shoot, I was told there would be a recoil and that if I didn't hold the gun properly it might break my collar bone, therefore hold it close and firmly. Some of those people in the video did not seem strong enough to manage the weapons they were using. Why aren't they being taught safe gun handling.
    Ps. Very funny videos.

    I didn't watch the whole video, but the one with the boy shooting the Barrett. Looked like he did fine considering the recoil from a 50 BMG.

    I see videos of troops with the stock of their M4 sitting very high on the shoulder. I don't know what's up with that.
