Ahh...now doesn't that feel better?

[Gringle]

Well, I'm having some girl troubles, to use a vicious euphemism, and I was really pissed. Not at said, girl, at my inability to work up the balls to said girl who is hitting on me anyway.

Anywho, the point is, I needed to take out my aggression, preferably while breaking the law.

So, I went into my backyard, which is kinda big, and I taped an old action figure of mine to a metal sheet, which was attached to my fence. The fence is at the end of a run, filled with gravel, that's like 3 by 15 feet.

Well, I had just posted on the "guns" thread about my Colt .45 1911s...so, I decided to take out my agression. I thought about how wimpy I was, not making a move, and how this girl likes me anyway, and flirts with me all the time. So I just thought "Fuck this, I'm gonna make a move the next time I see her". And I lined up the iron sights and took off the head of GI Joe. I'm serious. I took off GI Joe's head from 15 feet with a .45. Now, damn, if that didn't make me feel better. Of course, all the dogs in the neighborhood started barking, the neighbors came out of their houses, wondering what the noise was, and my folks got pissed, but hey. I feel much better. Kids, I don't advise you to bust out your parents' .38 revolver and shoot something, but I must say this really worked for me. Hmm, I notice this topic is getting long and really isn't about anything and you guys are gonna get pissed at me cause it's pointless. Oh well. Gryphon, ever busted out your AR-15 on some cans or something? /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

Nobe....not pissed.

I have to agree with u, guns are a great way to chanel youre anger, hurt or hatred.
And these fealings are often to be linked with girly´s. I mean, who the hell kan figure them out, if any of u guy´s have a tutorial on them, PLEASE put a link to it here!!
I seem to remember alot of action men meeting Mr firecraker and Mr air rifle, in my back yard. *LOL* /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

playing with guns to let out agressions

I don´t think that i can support this... What do you do next time?? Take your gun out on the street and blow a real head?? I think you should do some real hard sports instead.. it is not so dangerous for your environment!!

[Gringle]

WTF

Yes, dumbshit, I will be going out to actually kill someone next time, since the thread of logic irresistably follows that direction. What the hell are you smoking? I shoot at an action figure and it makes me a goddamn killer? Don't take the bong that close to the computer anymore, Lance.

I have to admit that using a gun can be quite a good way to get rid of your anger. But please be sure what to shoot, so you do not end up in court saying: 'I didn't shoot this guys head, it was my evil twin brother(sister).'

I think we shot some 'Masters of the Universe' action figures with a friend of mine, though we only had air rifle and CO2 Pistol.

But when the first one was shattered to pieces we couldn't stop laughing.

anything you do can get you killed, including doing nothing

 

[Bad.Mojo]

Yes Lance201. You see, the trend goes Infiltration -> Action Figures -> Your local highschool

And the circle of life continues.

shooting when you are angry

Hi Gringle,

no I don´t think you are a killer, But I think a real weapon is a dangerous think so you have to handle it carfully. When you are agressiv and raging you are not in the right condition for that. What I want to say is that in my opinion it is not the right way go shooting with the intent to cool down! But nevertheless you can what you want you are a free man in a free coutry I thing so this whole thing is only what an old german guy thinks!

btw Colt 1911... I shot with this thing in military and i never hit the target with it... but it made fat holes in the butt!

 

[Zundfolge]

Take that shit to the gun range!

You do nothing but fuel people like Sarah Brady and Bill Clinton who want to kick down our doors and take our guns away! /infopop/emoticons/icon_mad.gif

 

[I_ABuGa]

dont worry lance...

i am on your side to some extent. How do you "gauruntee" a person who in the heat of rage does not go out and actually shoot someone.

I think this is a point of view. Us non-violent sissies prefer that the guns not be used in such a tension release activity. Its just a point of view, a preference. Hope I'm entitled to it? No need to start flamage. /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

Shit Happens... and with great regularity too. We just have to deal with it one turd at a time.

 

[Gringle]

you shit for brains

Certainly you're entitled to it. But to imply that I'm going to shoot a person is ri-fucking-diculous. Give me a break, people. This does not refect on my character all. It's an action figure, all you shit-for-brains who think I'm a terrorist. Damn. I see I need to stay away from this forum more. I thought the people here were a little smarter than that. At least I still have Bad.Mojo, and, to some extent, Snakeye on my side. So ha. Stupid uptight idiots...

let's cool it guys

 

[Gringle]

CBuzz has chosen to take the role of "guy who has had no part in the argument but feels that he can make everyone feel better by issuing 'let's cool it guys'". Ah, well, someone has to do it during every flame war. I suppose I respect that...it's probably been me a few times.

[Zundfolge]

Gringle, I don't think you're a psycho or a terrorist. But your actions can easily be used in the arsenel of the anti-gun movement.

What you did was less then smart or safe (frankly Eddie Eagle would probably like to kick your ass now).

Shooting down at the range or gun club can be just as rewarding as blowing GI Joe's head off in the back yard, but you don't risk that .45 round hitting some kid after it bounces off your fence. Then HCI and the rest of the gun grabbing-constitution hating facists come out of the wood work and say "See! See! Regular folk can't be trusted with firearms!"

Also if that was one of the large GI Joes from the 60s or 70s then your are a big dumbass, those things are worth some $$ now days. /infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif


If you insist on doing things like this, there's nothing I can do to stop you. Just don't brag about it. You're making gun owners look bad.i

 

[Gringle]

I certainly don't think I make a bad impression on other gun owners. The run in the side of my house is optimized for this type of thing. I've often shot back there with a .22...there's netting enclosing the top, cinder walls on either side, and 3 inch thick redwood in the back. You know how many people have shot at action figures in their backyards? This is not something I've invented.

And no, it was one of the, like, 6 inch tall ones.

[Zundfolge]

so you actualy have a shooting range built in your back yard?

In your original post it sounded like you just taped an action figure to a metal plate on a fence and fired away. (still doesn't sound real safe)

Frankly, if you DO understand women, then you probably ARE gay.
Not understanding women is the biggest part about being a heterosexual male (if it's any consolation, they don't understand us either)

 

[Bad.Mojo]

Better not bring a steak knife in my back yard for a barbecue in case I accidentally bump it, cause it to flip through the air, and have it land in some kid's eye.

i hope i'm never in a rage and have a screwdriver nearby. I might grab it, run out in the street, and stuff it down somebody's throat.

ANY tool is a weapon. ANY weapon can kill. ANY rage is dangerous. Blaming it on guns only shows that the people against guns are stupid and in no way shows that gun owners are dangerous. Eddie Eagle can suck my dick. i'll break his fucking neck and then go after his brothers. Endangered species my ass, i'll make them extinct.

Just fucking kill them all. I'm so sick of people blaming their problems on guns and everything else except each other. I'm tired of people blaming guns and a poor upbringing and getting bullied at school and latent homosexual tendencies AND EVERY OTHER SINGLE FUCKING STRAW THEY CAN GRASP AT EXCEPT BLAMING THE TRIGGER MAN. Hey, you wanna know why people go around and shoot each other for no reason? Because we're a planet of idiots. I think its pretty obvious we evolved from fucking apes, look at us, we're a bunch of low-brow stupid ass sonsofbitches who would rather blame anybody or anything but ourselves for the problems we create.

Fucking morons. Drop the bomb, exterminate them all.

I laughed so hard I have chest pains. That was just too funny, BM. My point exactly, except stated more eloquently.

again... Amen brother Mojo /infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

 

[Gringle]

uhhh

I'm interested to know why a member of the enemy camp finds Bad.Mojo's harsh points against him funny...? Or are you just...? Ohhhh. While you're down there, what color are Mojo's boxers? If they're blue, tell him he needs to change again.

[Zundfolge]

I didn't read his harsh coments as directed at me, and I don't see how I'm in the enemy camp. (and I'm not sure Bad.Mojo knows who Eddie Eagle is, so maybe he didn't catch the humor of that comment)

Frankly the I see the entire anti-gun movement (and the fools who believe their lies) as the enemy camp.

Now as for your original post, had you said you went out to the shooting range you had set up in the back yard and shot the head off an action figure the I probably wouldn't have posted to this thread at all. But in your first post you said you shot at an action figure taped to a metal sheet on a fence in your back yard in Los Angeles, which would be stupidly dangerous (not just to the local kiddies, but to yourself).

See, I thought we had this whole thing all sorted out. But apparently not.
