So it's basically over right? Is there anything I didn't try? Would it even matter? I've squeezed every last drop of fun and excitement there is to this hobby, and now I just have a bunch of metal collecting dust sitting around. What the fuck do I do?
You're depressed anon. Get therapy or something.
You just need to get laid and buy better guns. Maybe rob a liquor store for fun, then give the money back.
Getting laid won't help unless he's married to the woman.
If he just fornicates with some random broad he'll feel empty inside as soon as he cooms. One night stands are a curse upon America.
Dubs of virginity
You say that as if it's a bad thing, I'd rather give that to my wife than some random whore on a drunken night of Godless degeneracy.

>being chaste puzzles, Confuses, and Enrages man whores.
lol, sticking your dick in some random harlot you meet at a club isn't chad behavior. You know what is? Marrying a tradgirl, because her parents, priest, and herself have deemed you man enough to be her protector, provider, and a father children with her. Now cope and seethe all you want because you know I'm right.
>Getting laid won't help unless he's married to the woman.
not true at all lmao
How dare you project your insecurities onto Anon. Are you your mother? Be a man!
Maybe if you’re an effeminate fag, nothing puts me on cloud 9 for a week or two like pulling some strange. Before you go off on some gay bible inspired “trad” rant remember, men are biologically built to cum in as much women as possible.
>biologically
>no argument because you know I’m right
Men have been trying to fuck anything that isn’t nailed down since the dawn of time, it is our most basic instinct. It’s perfectly natural and is even a sort of right-of-passage for a young man, it’s good for you.
>let’s say so, what then
Then maybe that’s the source of your depression, maybe try to change that?
>Maybe if you’re an effeminate fag
let's say so, what then
Go workout and stop spreading your blackpilled homosexualry
working out isn't fun anymore either
If you experienced all of that, your personality was very dedicated to guns, way beyond the average gun owner. You got pretty deep into the hobby. It's only natural you burned out.
Stop lifting weights and pick a martial art. Everyone will shill Mexican Ground Karate but honestly if you're the OP your type of personality makes it seem you'll probably sink a ton of money into rashguards and Gis so beware.
I burned out of guns too but I got back into kickboxing after quitting for three years and it lifted my spirits, to the point I'm no longer feeling burned out in other interests.
Martial arts aren't fun any more
not op sorry, i did a bit of judo before and was in a situation where someone got injured which killed my taste for combat sports, i never enjoyed the social aspect of it that much to begin with compared to lifting solo to be honest
never stopped
If you're not OP why are you answering for him
yeah sorry for jumping on the post without making it clear
Doesn't matter, start doing it again anyway
thats called depression my friend
im sorry you suck at having fun anon, feel free to send me everything you dont want anymore because it's not "fun"
Design a gun to entertain yourself
try nudism, you don't know what living is until you realize what it's like to be truly free of the most basic material possession (clothing). might reset your view on life, it did me.
can I have your stuff?
you literally posted the answer as an image
You don't find guns fun anymore because you are depressed.
This, read the Bible and the Confessions by St. Augustin. Go to a traditional denominations church and talk to a Priest about how you are feeling. It will help you more than you can imagine.
>t. was saved by the blood of Christ
I reached that point years ago. I downsized my gun collection and just keep a few rifle and a few pisols now. I go to the range like once a year to confirm my zero, then just make sure I have enough ammo on hand in case of SHTF. Preps are more important now, but I don't go overboard. Food, water, a place to shit, and a way to keep my house somewhat warm for about a month is all I'm willing to do. If there is a societal collapse that lasts longer than 4 weeks, I will just put a gun in my mouth and blow the lower brain out of the back of my head. Fuck it.
real HiVIP assassination
I noticed that hunting isn't on this list. You should get into hunting. Speaking from experience it is the most rewarding gun-related activity you can partake in. Get out and enjoy the great outdoors with your gat. Don't make excuses, either, there's public hunting land all over the place.
Bring your guns to Texas and go hog hunting
This is a realization most people have eventually. Your belongings are ultimately just things that you can't take with you after this life and which do little to satisfy the longing for truth, beauty, and connection with others that drives the human heart.
You can't take your heart with you after you die either.
Sure, but the implication is that the things that satisfy your heart will give your life meaning even when it's over, while the things you owned will collect dust or go to an auction or end up in a landfill. That's something even an atheist can agree with, I think.
Unironically pick up airsoft. It's a lot more exciting when your targets shoot back.
Are there other things you no longer enjoy doing, anon? How well are you caring for yourself and your surroundings? Because you spend like you're depressed.
You forgot one anon!
>Robbing people at gunpoint
machine guns and suppressors, my homosexual.
gay
You're clearly not buying enough guns. Quantity has a quality all of its own.
The emptiness you feel can only be filled by the Holy Spirit. It is what you were meant for, your telos.
Mystical union with the divine, contemplation, was what man was created for. But you must first undergo the purgation of the senses to prepare you for contact.
Seek Christ. I recommend Finnley's "Christian Meditation," audio as a good starting point.
getting high from christianity is only temporary, same as with guns, if you still get high that means you are a newfag to it, don't worry, soon you will toss out your holy books for the next high
Time to go fight in a war. If you don't like it, at least you can die
Take some vitamin D pills
no anon it's like drug addiction, the high only comes back after you find something more productive to do
Alot of that is still fun you're depressed. Get some therapy or some sunshine and go for a calming walk or both and stop trying to bum out people. Legit hope you start to feel better anon
Have you tried shooting while high on meth?
you're depressed
sorry, man
Find purpose and direction in life and the joy will return
I see no mention teaching your kids or nephew/niece how to shoot? When I’m really depressed seeing my kids learn makes me really happy. I just taught him how to ride a bike and it made me happy for a month.
growing out of a hobby is normal, bro. sperging out over guns is a phase you can move through and go on to more interesting things after you've plumbed the depths.
sell off what you don't need and buy a hobby car, its just as much fun to hunt down obscure parts and learn how to get good at bodywork and paint and wrench on an engine
You grew up and now owning firearms isnt attempting to stand in for a personality. This is growth anon, you made it.
here's what you do, anon. sell a couple of guns that were impulse buys you know you won't miss. take the money, get a nice escort or two, and get your dick wet. you'll probably feel better after that.
Ive had these feels ( or lack thereof) before. You just need to find something else that gives you joy, the guns and stuff arent going anywhere and you can come back to them whenever. Take a break from one hobby and start on another. Gardening, books, wood working, knitting, give yourself a project to work on. If its something youve never done before then teach yourself. It will be rewarding and productive, plus you will learn new skills. Its good to have lots of hobbies to bounce around to when you realize you done too much of one thing and are getting tired of it.
Or you could just do what other anons are recommending and fuck a bunch of prostitutes and try shooting your guns while high on meth.
You are comparing your materialistic "enjoyment" of deadly firearms as a "hobby" with the temptation of Christ in the desert, which is what this painting is from.
You are not going to get fulfillment in life from materialism or materialistic consumption. That is not a problem with firearms. There is a void in your soul that can only be filled by God. You unironically need Jesus.
That's one of the voids but I doubt its the only one. OP probably needs to take care of his physical body as well as his immortal soul.
Why do religious folk on this website point to religion as the answer to everything?
>feeling bored
>"Must be an absence of Christ!"
A lot of what manifests as depression truly is a lack of spiritual fulfillment.
Because perception is reality, and by having a mindset that overlays a sense of purpose and inherent goodness over the world, you can literally make your world good. Refusing to do this because you're devoted to materialism only leads to unhappiness.
reality is reality, overlaying a sense of purpose and goodness that isn't there is just self-deception
Objective reality is rationalist dogma. You literally can't prove it. If being able to explain all observed phenomena were all it took to prove things, all religions would be valid as well.
>Objective reality is rationalist dogma.
but if you ignore it won't it kick your teeth in and leave you bleeding out to nothing
unless you're completely living in your own world (but even that will end when one is destroyed in objective reality)
It is ironic that they spend their time here. Seems more like proselytising than any true contentment.
It’s virtue signaling for conservatives
It's just a transfer of ideas, some people suggest pussy, some people suggest Christ, some people will recommend HRT. It's just noticable because it contradicts your worldview.
I get your point but I have to disagree. I’m cool with other world views and am not against christianity at all, just obnoxious posters like
who ironically come off similar to the screeching leftists they no doubt claim to hate. I do believe a man has to have a code otherwise he is lost, but anyone coming around claiming they have all the answers with a holier than thou attitude can get fucked because that man is truly ignorant.
Also, side note
>Marriage will fix your depression
The absolute lack of life experience coming from these posters kek
I never said marriage will fix your depression, I simply said fornication won't fix it.
youre way too young to be saying 'fornication' lol. stop larping as a paladin
I'll say whatever I want buddy. I'm an American, fornication is shorter than "sexual relations outside of marriage" and it's also not a curse word. Keep seething.
It's what someone believes as much as some people think having random sex matters, what moral code matters if there isn't an ultimate point to it all? For some pleasure is the ultimate point, in which case sex with random broads will probably get boring if something actually mentally and physically stimulating like guns or fitness is boring. But spending hours reading about a faith you don't believe in will get boring as well, prayer without faith is just talking to yourself and even saints say that much of their prayer is dry and feels like screaming into the void. Frankly OP's case is probably terminal, maybe it won't end with suicide but he is a dead man walking and will be until he dies.
YOu may have depression.
> ... I just have a bunch of metal collecting dust sitting around
You should not handle weapons in your state of mind at all, so good choice.
Luckily, your neurons can re-adapt (even if you can't imagine it rn) using the right medicine. Among the fastest ways is Ketamine - but it >WILL< change you.
>shotguns aren't fun anymore
That’s literally what got me back into firearms again.
>casting my own bullets isn't fun anymore
Do you try creating experimental rounds? Also, you sound depressed. Give Wellbutrin a try. It’s not a ssri, works with dopamine instead of serotonin. Makes me feel like I’m on amphetamines. It’s not a long term solution, but it should take the edge off at least. So you can get the help you need. No need to suffer anon.
