That too. Which is why we have to declare public health crisis and make people stop being stupid.

I agree stupid and dangerous doesnt mix. And I'm the last person that wants to fight and even more uphill battle because stupid people did something stupid with a gun

Indeed, however there are a lot of dumb wannabes out their who want to live out their rambo(who was the villian) fantasies and that just back fires on us. We need to police ourselves better if we don't want the government doing it.

I just dont like playing into the talking points for reasons we shouldn't have guns.

It's up to us to police our own and call out the idiots

Lol we typed the same thing

And that is the problem. People don't want to do that, mainly because its not an easy solution. And the idiots don't want it done because they want to hang on to their fantasies.
I have seen combat, its not fun and I can't understand how anyone especially people with no experience and no real training think that its fun idea.

People actually think combat is fun are ignorant about it

All fun and games until you get a bullet in your neck

Everyone wants to be a badass

Well most of that is because they are losers and think that in a shake up of society they can be the badass fantasy they have in their heads, not aware that they would still be just as big a loser then.

If you feel you got nothing to lose I guess combat wouldn't be scary to those people. But hey I'm just a civie so I guess I'm not qualified to answer that

You don't even have to get to the shooting part. Carrying and wearing gear 24/7 is a pain in the ass. Then you have the stress of having to constantly be on edge and on the look out. You are always tired, hungry wet and hot or cold.

And those little hotspots that you can get and blister up. Not so cool if you can’t keep it clean and it gets infected and you die

Although I have read and heard of some people who do miss combat who fought

Hell there was a soldier who fought in different armies around WW2 to vietnam just to keep fighting

Legit moved to the US just to fight in vietnam

@Killerratchet that is true, you do grow accustomed to it. And when you aren't doing it you get what is called the "itch" and long for it. Then when you get back to it, you remember how much it sucks and just want to go home again. Its a fucked up cycle.

Grass is greener on the other side situation huh?

Pretty much. I get the itch, and I ignore it as much as I can.

I'll be honest, I feel like I missed out throughout my deployments. Didnt see much when I was flying in 5th fleet.

Lot of training for nothing. Oh well

There was one vet I remember that seemed pretty enthusiastic talking about his combat experience

Ugh we have a lot of big mouthed fobbits here. Guys who joined up to be special forces badasses and just ended up cleaning toilets.

Now I'm doing an instructor tour and probably wont do a flying deployment again until I make O4

When he blew someone up with an M203 he was all "There were guts everywhere it was pretty rad"

@Killerratchet those are called Fobbits. The more they talk about combat the less they actually saw.

lol

Well I didn't know this person personally

It was a video where they interviewed vets who fought

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uAXCQZhtzEs this guy

Yeah well generally the rule of thumb for the guys who brag is that at best; they are grossly exaggerating, at the worst they are just making it up.

Take this over to <#659316074163994636>

Yeah sorry man, kinda got off topic.

I understand

Oh <#659316379307999242> haha

Anyone got any news on the upcoming rally in Richmond on the 20th?

Police: 2 parishioners shot and killed Texas church gunman

Holy shit

It's like being able to carry a gun actually helps

And not punishing those who carry in a "gun free zone"
