I would just be so scared that I would accidentally fire it and do some serious damage.
I wouldn't mind having one, but I couldn't really picture myself using it anywhere besides the Westside Range....
Now, see, the thought of guns in a place as dangerous and psychosis-prone as NYC is a very frightening proposition.
@Uraniumfish so true..
Remember Taxi Driver...
@Uraniumfish you bet
@Uraniumfish Trust me, they are here. It was only the once, but I have seen a crazy guy pull a gun on another crazy guy on my block. Also heard tell of who is strapped.... Gotta love Bushwick/Bed-Stuy.
@BroadwayBK WOW
@Uraniumfish Just retards playing with guns, no real Mafia gangsters or anything...
@BroadwayBK Retards are probably the people you'd least want to be playing with guns. At least mobsters know what they want when they're using them.
I don't understand how blase we Americans are about gun use - especially given that most developed countries (ie, the UK) outright ban their use - and with good reason! It's hard enough stopping a crazy person with a knife, let alone with a gun, not to mention plenty of "sane" people who lose their cool, accidentally fire guns without meaning to, or get themselves killed by trying to pull a gun on an armed intruder when just staying put might have been a whole lot safer...
