I went shooting yesterday. I hadn’t gone shooting since my illness because I was so paranoid about guns, like I couldn’t even walk into a gun store. But luckily I overcame that fear, and ever since then I’ve been more interested in owning guns again; I even considered being a gunsmith. But due to the coronavirus and lockdowns, we hadn’t gone shooting.
Well, yesterday I did it and I enjoyed it. It felt good to overcome a fear that was so strong. And hopefully I can own guns when I’m older and conceal carry. Anyway, this was another big step into overcoming my paranoia.
I would be scared of shooting myself if I had a gun. Anyways they’re illegal here.
I shot with my friend’s pellet gun. It had a laser to aim and it went through 3 cans of Pepsi.
To be honest, I don’t like those laws. I see them as unconstitutional and unethical. It, I believe, violates the second amendment to bear arms. I also believe it is unethical because it is discriminatory towards people with mental illness. Why should you be denied your natural right to bear arms just because you have a illness? Luckily I haven’t been to a hospital yet, so that law doesn’t pertain to me. Hopefully we can see some progression in the rights of the mentally ill.
Can’t you collect stamps or coins? I mean no one ever violently hurt themselves or anyone else with a buffalo nickel. I hate to play into the (inaccurate) stereotype of schizophrenics being violent but why tempt fate?
