> [@d3x](#): > > I was watching a show yesterday about non-lethal weapons and it reminded me about how fucked up our “gun control” laws are. you see i can go out and buy the rifle and ammo that our military uses to stop light armored vehicles (Barrett M82 .50 BMG), but i cant purchase non-lethal ammo like rubber bullets and beanbags. does this make any kind of sense at all? our govt doesnt want to give me a non-lethal choice if im ever in the situation where i have to defend myself? > > Either way, im one of those nuts that fully supports our 2nd Amendment right to bear arms, im a member of the NRA, and i have enough guns and ammo to arm a small militia. But im not the guy you have to worry about breaking in to pilliage and plunder, rather im the one thats gunna be putting a couple rounds of copper jacketed 00 buck shot through the chest of the asshole that is. :word: Same here. I know a lot of you think I am an idiot…but when it comes to firearm safety I am VERY SERIOUS. Guns are not toys. There is no such thing as “accidental” shootings. If people were more responsible, we would not have any “accidents”. They can all be avoided with proper firearm safety practices. I also come from a family of hunters. Firearm safety has been drilled into me since I was a child. Correct me if I am wrong, but I heard something interesting. Somone had told me that there has only been one case of a legaly purchased hand gun used in a crime in like the past 20 years, and the perp was a cop. Is that true? I don’t even know where to start looking to check. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/gun-control/18174)._
