I went to the gun show today and oh my gawd...

You primed the cock already? I mean oh you know what I mean. Don't mind if it's hairy either.
 
acting serious

I was, of course, talking about my muzzle loading flintlock. Of course, "muzzle loader" can be a double entendre as well.

LOL
 
Yes it can, and I always take the naughty meaning before all others. Makes life... interesting.

Actually, the best weapon for home defense/CQB is a flamethrower. Has some minor collateral damage issues, but nothing's perfect.

"Minor" collateral damage issues, he says... ;) Excuse me, but I would much rather not burn my house down while facing a burglar. ;) That and I'm sure that it'd DEFINITELY have problems with "excessive force" laws, if any exist where you live.

And like I said about railguns. Lots of potential, but hand-portable weapon uses are a ways off. 8)
 
We don't have excessive force laws if you're in your own home and it's been broken into. Haven't figured a way around the collateral damage, but hey, the perp gets a free cremation...

Guns, sex, penis envy

Well, I have been reading this thread with a kind of morbid fascination and dread.

Now I can understand how someone might be moved by the beauty of a finely crafted instrument, and love its power and grace.

I have friends who shoot in competition and love it, and I think I understand their enthusiasm for the art of marksmanship.

But I can not understand how any thinking person could embrace the mentality of solving a problem by shooting it. I do not see how anyone can be deluded into thinking that the power they feel from being behind a big weapon is anything but an illusion. Like what happens when the bad guys have a bigger gun or more guns? Least of all I can not think how anyone can think that firearms are sexy!! Sure, anything dangerous can be sexy, like fast cars or bungey jumping (and that has a simple well understood physiological basis) - but its surely a bit crass to revel in firearm euphoria in the midst of the mothers, fathers, friends and lovers of shooting victims, who must be all around you in great number.

Here you are in a nation that has over 10 times the mortality rate from firearms of comparable first world societies like UK, Australia and western Europe - and you guys are revelling in some kind of delusion that these weapons are a) Necessary b) Cool c) Sexy!!

Well, it has been a learning experience for me, because this is the last fora where I expected this! I have to add it to my list of incongruous couplings in America that I do not understand. Christian fundamentalists and racism, prosperity and paranoia, erotic literature and firearms!!!

Love Sze (Bang!)
 
Guns, weapons, however you might wish to refer to them, are.....

pound for pound, dollar for dollar - "The Best Engineering Purchase, The Best Investment," Anybody can make.

Considering what you lay out and what you get - it's rather amazing. All gun collectors know this.

You may find this to be very unfortunate - so be it. It may very well be unfortunate. I happen to think it is - in a grand idealistic way.

But this fact regarding, "the value of a thing," is undeniable. Guns are one great buy!!!

Well, This I gotta reply to. 8)

1-Most of what we're discussing *IS* the abstract beauty of a precision crafted instrument. The vast, vast majority of this thread is effectively, "Ooooh, shiny! Spiffy! Toys!" 8) I personally don't think that guns are necessary, or sexy, but there's a fair chunk of stuff out there that definitely falls in the "cool" category. Think of it like watching an action movie. You'd never do that stuff, kill that many people, but it's an adrenaline rush to watch. Same sort of thing here, but in a much reduced form, and you get to admire the craftsmanship, too. 8)

2-Part of this is the way our country was founded. For approximately 1/3rd to 1/2 of the time the USA has been in existence, it was a wild frontier nation. Outside the large cities, your survival depended in no small part on how well you could shoot and hunt. That and one of the founding tenets of our country IS the Right to Bear Arms. We're not all nutz, but you're going to find a greater number of them here. The other part is the aforementioned "action movie". America's become the entertainment capitol of the world, thanks to Hollywood, and most of the popular directors/actors are "action" film stars. Especially now that China took back over Hong Kong and most of THEIR good actors/directors are making the jump Stateside. I.E.-Jet Li, Jackie Chan, John Woo...

And finally 3-Don't overgeneralize... 8) This isn't specifically an "erotic literature" part of the board. It's actually inteded as the part where people who like erotic literature can bring stuff like this, that doesn't quite fit but we wanna talk about it anyway. There are a few people that like sex and guns, but not everyone does. I'm willing to bet that everyone that's posted, if asked, would cheerfully, happily, and in a heartbeat take wild, mad, passionate sex over a gun any day. I know I would... ;)
