What sense does that make? Really?

You can have a gun and be good at using one but not feel passionate it?

All of the best instructors and firearm trainers have a serious passion for firearms

So do majority of rappers and producers
So do majority of race car drivers and cars
So do programmers and designers for video games
So do the best restaurants

Being completely utilitarian leads to mediocrity, look at McDonald's, look at low ene cars, etc.

That's the most one sided thing I heard in a while

idk why you didn't @ me if you're gonna reply to my post lol

quote me where i said you should never train with your weapon

obviously practice is part of proper gun ownership, which again, i have no problem with

you just rubbed me the wrong way with your "ktt couldn't POSSIBLY understand" line

i personally wouldn't describe having the power to kill or maim as something to be passionate about, but if you meant that as putting time into learning how to use it, you do you

I don't want to kill or hurt anyone, it's about self preservation. It's that simple

Like I said earlier, good marksmen who don't like guns and shooting are non existent.

I'm not some lowlife who has a gun merely to brandish whenever someone pisses me off.

Crazy you like anything in the world but liking firearms and appreciating their history is bad.

tbh don't see the connection between creative forms with infinite room for expression & gun ownership where there's one way to do it right

You can have a gun and be good at using one but not feel passionate it?

yes, i think that should be the case

passion for the right to bear arms, about teaching others about it is fine w me, but being passionate about the act of using guns is p sus & just comes off as trigger-happy & opposite of the "professional" ideal you mentioned

My uncle over at the states is always boastful about his guns. You can really see how tough he and his lunatic friends think they are when shooting. It is crazy how much are people are willing to let the country suffer only because they want to play with those deadly toys for their entertainment.

They're not hurting anyone, the majority of killings are done buy criminals

The majority of gun deaths are suicide, nice try but baseless

Also criminals don't go to the range

Funny how me wanting a gun in a professional manner is off putting to this site.

This site is obviously 99% left would ban guns completely if they could.

But I see nothing wrong with wanting to better yourself. Having a gun is one thing but having wanting to master is a different ball game.

It's a passion that, ktt can't comprehend.

Having a gun for defense is fine, but wanting to ‘master’ a gun is weird bro. Pistols are boring, you literally just point them and shoot

You don’t see people trying to ‘master’ other basic defense items like pepper spray, that’s because people fetishize guns especially

I've been thinking about getting a gun licence eventually although I know its harder in Aus, just a handgun for self defence maybe. If not some other type of protection

i'm no expert but i'm like 90% sure that owning a gun for self-defense doesn't exist in Australia
