I feel like firearms are the most unique weapon ever created. People have been fascinated from either holywood movies or just as a hobby. To avoid making this political, i wonder what your thoughts are on the psychology of guns.
I feel like it is heavily correlated with feelings/imagery of power and strength. I dont believe its related to mental illness but i do think it can often be related to feeling powerlessness and deep seated/unresolved trauma
Two words: Phallic Obsession
Guns never appealed to me. I’ve only shot an automatic weapon when I was in the Air Force for a month in training.
It’s hard to get a gun license here as well.
I don’t like guns and violence

Same!! Honestly guns and violence never bring anything good to this world. Never
theyre a fun toy, in most videogames, connected to violent drives, cool machine, I couldn’t care to have one, but think its fun shooting targets
I understand when and where they are necessary, but I have a personal distaste for them. I like my bows much better.
I fired a rifle years ago when I was in the air cadets. Thankfully we don’t have a gun culture and carrying a gun is illegal in England.
I used to have many guns. They were all taken away cuz of my mental illness and I’m not allowed to own them anymore…that’s okay with me, I’m glad i don’t have them around anymore.
I’ve shot guns and went hunting. I was told the best gun is a Glock because they’re least likely to jam up. I use to go to a few shooting ranges in Detroit. I went to one shooting range with my buddy and there was a middle eastern girl working there with big boobs and they were out on parade for viewership. My boy kept elbowing me. It was annoying. Some guy at the range we went to shot himself there the next day. I don’t believe in owning a gun. When I was young I was curious and wanted to know what shooting a gun was like. I don’t believe in violence. I’ve been in so many fights being in a gang and just some of my mom’s abusive partners, plus I dated a woman who was cold as ice and a manipulator. I would rather someone beat me up then fight back. I do try to analyze things and resolve disagreements before they escalate. If they over escalate I don’t fight back I just take it. I believe I’ve suffered psychologically and physically for years. I’ve resolved the issues I’ve received from being in these situations. It was a long grueling process of self discovery and unmasked suffering that came to light. I don’t see myself as a victim. I think I’m stronger and a better person for going through what I went through. I’m able to see others perspective. Good things
I liked guns, or more weapons, when I was around 16. That’s done.
This is not applicable to all men
I for example recognize that my penis doesn’t shoot bullets, therefore I view them as two vastly different things.
I don’t like guns I used to be okay with them now I hate them because someone held a gun to my head so guns are scary to me
Schizophrenic + gun = trouble…
My brother owns a few guns
Personally I don’t like guns
I grew up around target shooting enthusiasts. To me firearms are a way to poke holes in paper or ring steel plates. I have never been in the legal system to be adjudicated or hospitalized thus my hunting rights have not been taken. I have survived on hunting when I couldn’t pay rent and buy food. I can assure anyone who asks that I have never confused a firearm for a sex organ.
Only if you’ve been committed to a mental institution or have been adjudicated as mentally defective. Having schizophrenia doesn’t automatically make it illegal to own a firearm.
@Hemy okay I must have misunderstood
