Not sure who downvoted you, but I know several dems and left wingers who also enjoy firearms. I can also point to reps and right wingers who have banned firearms that they claim they “support”.
I downvoted him only because he used the qualifier. You can be anything AND enjoy guns. The notion that you cannot is forcefed to us. His qualifier only reinforces the idea.
That was just a thinly veiled swipe at our current president. Had not thought anyone would take it seriously…. More or less trolling now that I’m giving it some consideration.
I believe the most charitable thing someone ever described my tiny gun as was “a prostitute pistol.”
You can literally get it as a belt buckle in some states but I believe the requirement for a long barrel precluded that in my CA legal version.
Do you have kids? If so, you tell them you love them, then they hear you say you love this cheese, or you love this chair or whatever. That puts them on a level of cheese and furniture. It’s unhealthy to love an object on your own part as well. It’s just a thing is all I’m saying. Things can be replaced, people can’t.
I talked to mine in Iraq all the time. But right on. I just remember as a kid anything I broke “I loved that lamp!” “I loved that refrigerator!” Yeah the refrigerator that had spent 4 years unplugged in the garage that I dented. It’s just the wording. I may be sensitive to it but I never say I love things, even movies or songs around my son.
Yeah, my childhood was filled with endless disappointments for… well, 50% of my folks. Couldn’t do right if I tried, so I just stopped trying. I like your philosophy, save it for the things in your life that truly matter :-)
I’d say old (maybe middle) English? It comes to us from the raids and interaction with the Norse around the turn of the last millenium, as best I understand (very little).
I love all guns and I used to be a Democrat 😅

Yeah. I suspect it was my underwhelming knowledge of the vintage firearm permitting process. Not really even mad about it.
Don’t love objects, especially guns.
Eh… it’s a philosophy. Love like your heart has never been broken.
Don’t knock it.

Not arguing. Only cats, but I tell them each how much I love them several times a day and almost never have a conversation with my gun 😉

P.S. I’m not a republican or a trump supporter… or a natzi… eh, you know what, this list is going to be way to long and I ran out of fucks years ago.
P.P.S. Fuck Spez ;-)
I guess being a Democrat means I can find some guns ugly, and not love þem?
edit: not OP’s, þough; þose are gorgeous
Um… bad English is my second language, but I’m still going to need some help here.
That’s a Diehard reference… I just don’t know what “pem” is. It’s coming out with an oddly accented ’p’ on my end. Maybe an accented ’b’?
Ah, welcome! The character (þ) you see there is the thorn. It makes a ‘th’ sound, so ‘þem’ would be commonly read as ‘them’.
Cool. What languages? If you don’t mind my asking…
