Back from shooting. · 5:41pm Aug 8th, 2020
So, to be honest, it wasn’t that bad. Sure, I gotta get used to the recoil and the breaking the sound barrier thing (my ears are still ringing and muffled a bit), but other than that, it was fun. I shot two shotguns, as well as a sidearm.
Again, nothing too significant.
Neato.
5331820
Heh, yeah it was
Sounds like it was fun
5331827
Yeah. I mean, I was hesitate at first, but I caught on.
5331829
That's neat
5331831
Yeah
Firearms are always significant, treating them differently is irresponsible. Remember, Germans petitioned the League Of Nations to forbid military usage of 12th gauge because of Americans who brought with them their trusty "hunting" weapons. 12 gauge is a very dangerous thing, it tears off limbs and leaves buckshot inside the body which is sometimes impossible to remove without killing the patient in some cases.
Never treat a weapon as insignificant only because it isn't a 200mm howitzer.
5331845
True. I guess the pellet rifle I started with also has significance then...
5331848
If it can kill it is significant.
5331849
I mean, I can’t kill a person.
5331850
You can. You very much can. And it is amazingly easy too. So much in fact that to kill someone you don't even need to do anything. Killing is rarely coldblooded, or even deliberate.
5331851
Oh
5331853
The statistics are not entirely correct, you see. The most common cause of death is not car crash, it is irresponsibility.
5331854
Oh? Really now?
5331856
Indeed. What do you think is the most common cause of the mentioned car crash as well as almost all other accidents in existence?
5331858
More or less, people’s stupidity. I mean, let’s be honest, there are so many Darwin awards that I could probably build the Eiffel Tower with them.

"Stupidity" is a very relative term that rarely explains anything. In 2017 there were 13 000 alcohol-related deaths in the USA, were all of these people stupid? Another statistics for the same 2017th: in Russia, there were 28 000 deaths from alcohol poisoning. Over twice as many as in the USA despite Russians heavily manipulating their statistical numbers and Russia itself only having a third of the USA's population. Are Russians stupid then? What about the drunk professor from Saint-Petersburg, who caused 3 separate car crashes trying to get to his job?
I doubt all of these people are stupid and this is only one of the most blatantly polarizing statistics you can get.
5331870
I guess

Irresponsibility kills. And a lot more often than anything else. Be responsible, for it is not just your own life that depends on it.
Hey I hope you enjoyed! I've never shot a shotgun yet. But I've already shot with my favorite gun.
5331881
Okay then
5331883
Ooh
during ww1 the german solder protested that the shotgun was against the rules of war and cause unnecessary suffering they threatened any american soldiers that have a shotgun or shells forfeit his life the americans retaliated by shooting every german soldier prisoners for each one of their boys killed in other in bajan terms do for do

I mean, it was WW1. You could massacre an entire village and only get a slap on the wrist
