Neither by themselves are scary, I grew up in rural Louisiana, You were taught gun safety in 4H, cub scouts and school. Every gun was loaded and not a toy. You ONLY took it when you intended to use it and you only took the gun that was for the job you were doing. You never carried it for show.

The tool is not my fear .
Who is holding that or anything similar is my fear
I got a question for u :
Here is the typical , at least once a week scenario ( have i mentioned I work in the hood , white garbage and ghetto )
So : hospital on lockdown . Trauma unit is on : gunshot victim(s), arrive . Nothing moves for next 3 hrs . Nothing . Victim maybe will live , maybe not . Very often who ever shot him is also here w GSW . Do u know what that means ? A parking lot out of the ER w 100 relatives of both sides screaming and been hostile . Police kinda present . Not much can be done . Don’t have to search them for guns either .
Mean x . Nobody can come into the hospital , and nobody wants to leave either .
Tell me what’s scariest :
A) two or more people dying tonight at operative tables w bullets stuck in abdomen and spine

B) more people getting hurt or dead at parking lot

C) the poor bastard that is here w chest pain and soon enough is having an MI infront of my eyes or a stroke , and his wife / mother / father who were on their way , can’t get in to be w him and stuck outside hoping they won’t get hurt too

D) the nurse or the doctor that it has been here for 16 hrs and is done and needs to go home and shower and feed the dogs and collapse and be back in 6 hrs , but can’t go anywhere , lockdown .

Tell me what’s scariest .

I vote for the poor man who is going down , and he did not had a chance to say few words to his family .
Does it matter what type of gun was at this case ? No . Same difference . The wrong people will get any gun into their hands . Until we fix education , poverty , health , society will keep producing what we put into it . And the products are biting us all in the ass .

Pls. add this option too :

I have tiny balls and need an AR-15 as alternative to my manhood. Oh I'm a Pussy with vision issues, so pls make it double barrel! Something to make people scared of me.
