2. Well, I do, but not one like that
I target practice with my Ruger, am looking to get a Sig Sauer P238 later this summer, it's supposed to be a good fit for a woman. I don't hunt, don't do anything but plink at a shooting range, I find it a challenge and like that.

11. Yes, that's why I got rid of mine. Or too lazy to use them, one or the other.

6. There's a DANGER warning on it?

I guess some idiot out there could manage to get hurt by it and sue.

12. Because some people have been shot by police when they pointed plastic guns at them?

8. yo
used to hate them, now I need one a couple times a year it seems (mostly livestock euthanasia, but there are fun uses too. I don't own for the specific reason of self-protection but understand and accept those that do) and I have come around to the 2nd Ammendment-ers point of view - I'm not a NRA member or anything but I view gun ownership as a fundamental constitutional right.

9. I have 'em.
Inherited them, and I will shoot them occasionally.

But if you break into my house, you're more likely to get stabbed with a big-ass knife.

18. Probability disruptors are much more effective...
... less violent, and often comical.

19. That game is fun to play while high
I actually never played that game but in basic training we practiced (only 1 time) with a game similar like that but it was with a toy M-16 shooting at targets on the screen.

22. Does a blowgun count? I find that when I smear myself with mud and skulk around my azaleas
with my blowgun, nobody wanders into my yard: apparently people aren't willing to test the "Trespassers will be shot with poisonous darts" sign
