I'm not afraid of them reacting violently.
I'm afraid of losing friends, or having them be angry with me or lose respect for me because it's extremely unpopular to be against guns.
Just tell them.
If they stop being your friends over something like that then they were never worthy in the first place.
Many people choose not to bring these types of issues into their friendships. There's nothing wrong with that.
why is it unpopular for. i like knives switchblades and knives like that double-sided-knives cult-knives butterfly-knives pocket-knives brass-knuckle-knives, i wonder would these what i have be unpopular.
I'm far more comfortable with knives. Knives don't really have the same ability to so rapidly end so many innocent lives, and the chance to fight back is higher.
Also if someone can actually end as many lives with knives as they could guns, it would be the result of a greater deal of skill (so less people would possess this skill)
Guns for show, knives for a pro.
The chance to fight back with a gun is equal if the other person has a gun.
Guns actually take quite a bit of skill, anyone who says hitting moving targets at medium range is easy, has either been shooting for years, or has never shot a gun in their life.
A man in china killed over 20 people with a knife in a spree stabbing (not a serial killing, he stabbed 20+ in a close area within a few hours)
It does not take skill to stab a man in the chest or throat, and i don't know if you know much about knife fighting, but fighting unarmed against a knife within stabbing range gives you about the same chance as if they had a gun at that range.
For sure man, if you know how to throw a knife at a tree and it sticks in,
Or somebody when fighting back you are good to go man you have your safety weapon and don't need a gun,
To me guns are for pussies that can't fight back with out one knives aren't tho,
Knives are a totally different story than guns.
Remember the saying "don't bring a gun to a knife fight?"
Criminals already have guns, and they always will. Unlike drugs, each individual illegal gun can be used tens if not hundreds of thousands of times.
If I want protection against a tool that most criminals have, that doesn't make me a "pussy." If an older/crippled person wants a gun to defend themselves with a gun, that doesn't make them a "pussy."
Exactly! Imagine if that kid who killed all those kindergarteners had only been able to get his hands on knives, instead. People would have tackled him and brought him down, because I doubt he had any skill with them. It's like an added layer of responsibility to learn how to effectively use your tool.
A heavy car/truck can end lives way faster than any gun legal in America.
Against guns to which degree? If their truly your friends, I can tell you from experience they stay with you no matter what, but depending on how extreme your opinion is, you may wish to be vague.
If they have guns on them and a really bad temper, maybe :p. but in all seriousness, just tell them. Either they'll understand or they wont, but it's better than feeling bad or like you can't say something to them.
I own 2 guns and love them more than everything, I'd probably just kill my friends that told me that... No pressure :)
Maybe they are not really worth your time if you have to lie about them.
