If I buy a car with 500 horse power, no one says a thing.
If I buy an expensive mechanical watch, instead of an affordable quartz watch, which keeps time just as well, no one says a word.
Buy an iPad mini when you have an iPhone and an iPad 3, no one bats an eye.
Buy a DSLR camera whose lenses cost more than the camera, all is well.
God forbid you buy a gun, you have to be a seal team six member to justify why you bought it.
Do I need a reason to own or buy a Gun?
In America we buy shit we don’t need every day because it’s part of a hobby or passion or just cause. Some how with guns, I have to walk down from a mountain after having a conversation with GOD, with two cement slabs in each arm outlining why I need the gun.
I’m going to let you in on a little secret, people buy guns for a whole host of reasons, including, because they’re fun.
Yes, I said it, guns are fun!
They make me happy, the same way going 140 mph in an M6 makes me happy.
Have you seen my 60 round mag dump with a machine gun, do I look anything but happy ?
Gun owners get caught in this guilt trap of having to justify why we by guns to people who aren’t into guns. We don’t question why they might go to swingers club on the weekends, so why are we having to answer questionS like, “why does anyone need an ar15”?
Guns are cool!
Hollywood has proven That time and time again, men lie, women lie, but numbers don’t, and considering the number people who flock to watch action movies, its safe to say everyone else thinks they’re cool also.
Even pro gunners are guilty of this. I know how heavy a desert eagle is, and how expensive the ammo is or how impractical it is for self defense, that’s why I carry a Glock 19. I saw a Desert Eagle in a movie and wanted it , so miss me with the, what do you need it for speech, because I don’t need it, but I want it, just like you wanted to buy that ugly shirt you have on.
Don’t get me wrong, there a ton of practical reasons to own or buy a certain gun, but beyond simply wanting it, I don’t need a reason to own a gun. I don’t need to justify why I bought it, I have a gun because I can, and guess what, you can too.
