Rainbow Dash's friends are having an argument, which means it's up to her to sort it out. Does Equestria really need stricter gun control laws?

I have to admit...

that was awesome XD

I know this comment section is going to go all political, though. :ajbemused:

Expecting this to be a "Wait, what are guns, anyway? :rainbowhuh:" joke

Edit: I was not disappointed

Of course a fashion magazine would have bullets! How else would they delimit list elements?

Ah I love my guns good story funny

The advertisements on this page are now about concealed carry laws and gun-control limits. I love you, FIMFic.
Lovely little romp, PP.:rainbowwild:

Actually I find the concept of, and argument surrounding, whether the ponies have these terms based on the language the show depicts them using or whether they reflect the presence of these objects in Equestria to be way more interesting than the political and social argument framing it.

along with each our positions

missing "of"

2517308 Political, you say? Now why in the world would we do that?... GUNS ARE RIGHT! We have a right to bear Arms!! Oh yes, I started it.

I wasn't sure what to expect, but I still feel like my expectations were met somehow.
Very nice!

You know where Applejack would fit in? Columbia.

Most of the anachronistic terms we hear do have less-than-modern origins, or at least less-threatening alternative meanings.

Bullet (sling ammunition): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sling_%28weapon%29#Ammunition

Bullet (fishing weight): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fishing_sinker#Bullet_sinkers

Tank (water tower): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_tank#Types, and a note that the armored Tank was in fact named after the water tower: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tank#Etymology

I can see somepony asking Fluttershy to bring back a box of bullets from the market, for which she happily delivers a box of bullet sinkers.

I love that story image. The story's pretty good, too. :heart:

Comedic one-shots are best one-shots.

I like this.

I'm surprised no one made the argument that a gun could be the great equalizer for earth and pegasi ponies without horns to use as projectile weapons.

This is hilarious! I love it!

So the whole point of this is that no pony knows what guns are. Well that was goofy and one-shot-y :pinkiehappy:

Seriously. Just that. All I could think of after "Sticky" I couldn't find the excerpt from the episode, but this is good enough.

But they have pies! And they can toss up apples and buck 'em!

My opinion goes either way. One side has people who use them for protection and nothing more, and the other side; people who use them for violence, such as Adam Lanza for example. For one unrelated note, hypothetically speaking, concerning North Korea. By what chance, should the Koreans that would invade us, if they'd manage to defeat the US's armies, Godforbid they ever do, what would we have to protect ourselves with? Nothing, and we'd would wide up either dead or POWs.

2518240 If that happens we can just use all the fat lazy people who can't fight anyway(most of america) and use them as human meat and blubber shields.

I guess Dashie dodged that political bullet.

yeah that was pretty bad.:facehoof:

2518322 :facehoof: Yes and after that, when we're in practical doomsday, even our neighbors will try to kill us.

Just a personal pet peeve, it bugs me when a character is not written as using a contraction in speech, the exceptions being if it's natural for a character to speak like that (moreso than others) or if there's a word in particular they emphasize. Is there a reason in particular you didn't have Spike say, "Oh, it's Rainbow?"

Other than that, great punchline! I'm really starting to learn to appreciate these bite-sized stories for what they are. I still like the really long stuff, but maybe I can write one of these, too.

2517480 Oh you!!! LOL that is funny! I thought someone was going to post something like that, and, gee willikers, you did! High Five!!

Edit: pp is right i am a bad man for inserting my gun into this discussion :( sowwy

2518322

You are [still] a wise man.

Congratulations! You've inserted an unsolicited political opinion into a venue for pony fanfiction! After being told this wasn't political! You're why we don't deserve nice things! :D

No, seriously, you should feel bad. :|

That "is" should have been italicized... Did I miss it? <.< Yeah, looks like I missed it. Thanks for the catch!

please forgive me
:'(
what have i become

2519230 I feel I should weigh my input on gun control, leave me alone :ajbemused: You think I'm not affected by the CT shooting, living there myself? Ban lightsabers instead!

it is okay, little parasprite, I forgive you

fly now and be free

Couldn't have pointed out that due to her unicorn nature Twilight is far more dangerous than any firearm? Or unicorns in general with their ability to fire off destructive blasts of concentrated magic that can directly affect physical reality and put others in danger?

That might have gotten in the way of the joke.

When Applejack said that they were sticky, I thought she thought guns were gum. Paranoid Pinkie was pretty funny, and I would think that she installed the chandelier just so she could perch on it. Fluttershy should stay away from the arguments, although it is damn cute of her to be in the middle of a heated debate...

I really enjoyed this story. It's my kind of silly! Keep up the good work, presentperfect! :pinkiehappy:

I... really like this interpretation. Kudos, sir. :D

2520451
No, thank you! :D

HMM?! It's a conspiracy.

2521078 LOLOLOLOLOL but perhaps we should... duh duh duh... BROHOOF!!!!!

Perhaps we should.

But will we?

Holy crap, that first pic is awesome. Octy rocks the little black dress. :D

Now I wonder what the Brony Rifle Association thinks about that. :applejackunsure:

2518240
Because clearly a bunch of random dudes with rifles can defeat an army that has already overpowered the most expensive military on the planet, despite not having any means of dealing with planes, tanks, or drones. Also North Korea is run by crazy people. Any attempted strategy on their part would be laughably overblown and utterly flattened by basically any resistance from NATO, or the US alone. This is like being afraid the crippled old man down the street is going to rob you.

On the topic of the story, fucking loved it. I was a bit reluctant to read it, because I was concerned it would be some poorly done "guns are bad" bullshittery, but I've read a couple of your other stories and figured you deserved the benefit of the doubt.

Glad you liked it! :) Please don't bait the gun debater, that's not the point of this fic.

The ending's forced my inguinal muscles into orbit.

Sure, I expected it, but what do you expect at the end of a blowjob?
