Well... as long as the anger of having to stay at home playing games because of the corona virus causes whining only... In the morning paper it read that the gun shops are running out of both guns and ammunition. How many secondary corona victims will there be when some of the gun owners snap?

Wow people in Finland must be really scary with how they handle their guns.

You really think with people already getting physical while buying their tp and hand sanitizer we're not going to hear about some idiot shooting someone over the last roll of 2 ply in the next couple months?

As to the OP everybody has their limits. I guess he hit his. Shame he couldn't tolerate gamma 2.0 time.

oh surely it will happen in some places.
but it will be a statistically irrelevant number vs coronavirus cases.
and the type of person who would snap with a gun would also snap with a baseball bat or moving truck or pail of acid.

but as a general rule i feel like the more armed people there are, the less likely some stupid toejam will happen. not the other way around.

of course i live in a place that has a low population density, and probably the highest per capita gun ownership on earth.

not nearly so scary if you dont live like a sheep/rat in a city somewhere.

(like when my local store ran out of toilet paper, and the word went out people returned a bunch of their extra to help everyone else out. i can actually go get tp right now if i need it)

crap people are the problem, not guns by themselves.

About two thirds of the peer-reviewed, published literature shows concealed carry laws help reduce crime.

outside of major urban crime areas, places with more guns have statistically less violent crime than areas with less guns.

I'm not worried about my armed neighbors even on a bad day.

it kind of depends on where you live.

Just raise the real time dynamic gamma feature on the fly in AH3 and keep playing. Then reduce it when the sun is about 8am. How many of you guys still use a 6ft stick to change the channels on your TV.........

We are. By law all guns should be stored in a suitable locked cabinet. Not on the bedside table where one granny told the newspaper she'd like to keep hers, hoping she'd never have to use it. We do have quite much guns, all registered except for criminals, but we don't kill other people with them. Statistically about 90% of firearm deaths here are suicides.

Not everyone with a gun is a "gun owner". Just as everyone with a car is not a "car owner". Lots of thieves out there. They use what they steal to take more from others.

 Statistically about 90% of firearm deaths here are suicides. amazingly here also.

the culture is different though. yes i have a gun on my bedside table, and one over the front door, and one on my hip at all times. not to mention a safe or two full of extras.
You could call me a gun nut from your perspective. I would say i was the average law abiding citizen in my area.
they are just inanimate objects, they hold no power on their own.

i wouldnt want to be the granny that isnt allowed an effective means of defense. not to mention deterrent. if you know the old lady is packing you might try somewhere else/

of course my area still has non-human toejam that can kill you that a gun can come in handy for.

if you have a gun violence problem, what you really have is a criminal problem.

Good man.

It would be cool to have an option to outfit planes with spotlights in the hanger. Just sayin. (Or you can leave them off and shoot at the flying spotlights.)

see it's the term "gun nut" to me it tells more about the person saying it than it does law abiding gun owners.


true i use a gun nearly everyday, but i use a hammer also. am i a hammer nut?
 i own more screwdrivers than guns, am i a screwdriver nut?

no, im just a guy that happens to own a few tools.

but i do like the few minutes of nightime to fly around under the moon also.

ha, or maybe we could turn on the red/green wingtip beacons/strobes.
that would make it a little eaier since the icon tends to hide the plane at night.
