If any kind of societal collapse were to happen I would either get killed immediately or commit suicide. Let's be honest, a lot of gun owners are too fat, too stupid, too irrational, or too mentally dysfunctional to pull through in situations that require survival. I would definitely get ventilated by anyone who isn't a sheltered moron and knows what they're doing.
Not everyone is a warrior, I dropped out of MEPs because I'm strong physically but an emotional and mental pussy. I have a nice job, have good friends, and love my family, but despite being the only one to own weapons I am not mentally strong enough to save them if they needed. How do I cope with this realization?
There is no wrong reason for having a gun
Frick off
>Frick off
Why are you mad at me?
I don't like the idea of being moronic. It destroyed my self-esteem and hurts my ego.
If you think it's bad for your ego, imagine how bad it will be for the guy you kill.
Part of growing is realizing your limitations and moving past them. You sound concerned about your own inadequacies, that is normal for any man. I can't comment on how you should proceed except perhaps offering therapy, though it sounds like what you need is a dose of confidence and self-love. I felt like you once and do sometimes fall in a rut like that at times. Part of what helped me was being exposed to greater responsibility in life and learning to deal with adversity. Understand that the worst thing you can do in life is give up, because life will never ever stop trying to step on you. The only thing you can do to be successful is to stand up and learn how to help yourself.
Good luck my friend. You sound like you're well-intentioned. You simply need an adjustment of how you view life and once you get to that point you will realize how small that leap you took was.

how else you supposed to get gud with a gun? Occasional marksmanship training? Frick off Black person
>gives opinion
>but also immediately mad for no reason
Why are emotionally moronic people so highly overrepresented among gun owners?
way to project, Black person.
>Is it wrong to own guns just for fun/novelty?
No
The only wrong thing is not owning guns
It sounds like your failure to enlist has been fricking you up more than you let on. If you're genuinely autistic then let me be clear; Your lack of mental fortitude doesn't make you any less of a stopgap for those trying to hurt your loved ones. Also you can own guns for any reason whatsoever, that's what living in a free country grants you. You need to stop being so negative and start realizing you're less useless than you think.
>Is it wrong to own guns just for fun/novelty?
This is pretty much the only legitimate reason to own guns.
I'm constantly mildly berated by family for owning guns, but it hasnt stopped me and will never stop me. I'm a tinkerer, marksmanship is endlessly interesting to me, and at the end of the day guns are the great equalizer, period. They level the playing field where physical prowess used to dominate, now mental fortitude and ability coupled with just a steady hand can make the difference between losing everything and losing nothing when faced with a subhuman aggressor.
what fun guns do you have anon 🙂
>Is it wrong to own guns
yes
I wouldn't worry about it OP. I own 3 guns and I have never shot any of them. The first rule of firearm safety is to have fun afterall.
>Is <insert thing> okay?
Grow a pair will you
It's fine to own guns for any reason, or no reason at all.
It's your right, you can have them just because.
>too mentally dysfunctional
Also you say this like a certain level of crazy wouldn't be normal in any survivors.
I for one recognize that the only thing keeping me on a somewhat normal trajectory is the potential scorn and derision of the common person on the street.
Personally if SHTF, society has been wiped for the most part, and I'm still alive, I'm going to be wearing a lot of 50s polkadot dresses everywhere because they look comfortable but also cute and kind of fancy.
>dropped from MEPS
Let me guess, you got medicated for something or blabbed about having to see a therapist or whatever because of teen angst.
t. discharged right before deploying because I fricked my leg up by being a dumbass
More people need to realize that they own guns for fun and not due to external threats, and that this is OK. Gun manufacturers love pretending that everyone is coming to kill you and that you need a new AR NOW!!!!!1!!!! but that's not reality.
That's what 99% of /k/ does anyway. Most gun owners in America firearms as toys.
Fun is the main thing, if you don't like to shoot, or at least to look at the guns you have, why own them at all? Sell them and get some that you like
>How do I cope with this realization?
have you tried not being a fat pussy homosexual?
>Is it wrong to own guns just for fun/novelty
ask the millions of people that compete in shooting sports breh
or ask Jerry Miculek he's gonna die a happy man never having shot another human being in his entire life
>Is it wrong to own guns just for fun/novelty?
No i am actually considering buying some bp pistols for a wall display
>bp pistols
They are fun as shit. I can't describe the feeling of a BP revolver
>1851 Colt Navy
when you torch it off. It's like an elephants dick is gently and lovingly fricking your palm. I think I actually got a chub once.
Chainfire is not a joke however
take your suicidal pitty party over to b/ or something
>thinly veiled anti gun post
have a nice day Black person
For example if someone hurt my dog and bear in mind I'm in my 40s and live completely alone and have had basically a bad life, done a lot of violent things hurt a lot of people, maybe killed a lot of young people, even as a kid I used do very cruel things to animals but that went away now I'm alone and never speak to anyone just don't like people any more and I don't like who I am. My dog means everything to me though./ Like my whole family and everything left that is kind or good in me sits in him. If someone hurt my dog and I trapped them or shot them and they did not die immediately, yeah they would be going to the tool shed with me to become living decorative art, it would bring me straight back to a zone I don't want to be in again because that is why I stay away from people so I don't do fricked up shit to them just in case it causes me trouble, not because I care about people. I don't believe in societal collapse or friends, nobody likes me and I don't like people. It would be very very bad for a criminal to come here. They would have a very very bad time.
How does the gif synchronise with the music so well?
"preparing for some sort of a collapse" is a niche sub-hobby within this hobby
civilian-owned guns are dangerous adult toys and that's it, treating them too seriously only breeds all sorts of mental disorders
Novelty is why most people own guns, even the guys who say they're doing it to fight the government are 9 times outta 10 doing it as a fashion statement. If you're worried about how you would perform when the chips are down, take steps to remedy that; built your self-confidence and prepare yourself so you can be sure you are capable. That said, you cant save everyone and if people die because you were the only person in your extended social group who was prepared, that's straight up not your fault.
whatever. if you want to hurt someone you can just stab them in the face and head with a screwdriver you know. Its not fricking rocket science. We've been doing it to each other for 100,000 years and frankly it is enjoyable.
So you’re a suicidal pussy homosexual who won’t fight for his life? Great, go become fertilizer /k/ is not your personal blogpost
Or someone in minecraft can indiscriminately kill all males in the immediate area and make his harem of arthoes. In minecraft, of course.
Not only are you a self-described coward but you have also compromised your integrity by needing to look outside for approval.
I’d unironically rather have a fat high school dropout bubbah helping hold down the fort than (you).
Your nice job, friends and loving family don’t mean shit if they’ll vanish when the shit goes sideways.

I was being a c**t on purpose, but if OP is not posting a slide thread/demoralizing bs and after some introspection decides guns are a no-go the options you posted are infinitely better. Extra point if it’s something that makes you pick up survival skills (might not be necessary but brings a sense of self-reliance).
>Complete bullshit any societal collapse takes place over generations and there is no implication of doomsday prepper crap.
>saw mass looting and rioting in the last year, feds dragging people into unmarked vans and ammo+guns being unavailable for the better part of a year plus people getting kicked out of jobs/people getting discharged from the military over government mandates…and that was just in this country.
At what point do you start believing it really might be aliens, Scully?
Funko pops creep me out anon, the very concept of them. They are worthless, functionless, mass produced plastic that from the moment of creation will never be toys that re played with or have any meaning or use whatsoever but that are also ugly. I really don't get them as something to collect. They have no intrinsic value at all. Even a shitty milsurp rifle is costly to duplicate and therefore has an underpinning rarity, same with obviously gold, silver, gemstones, most antiques, simple cost of production, even stamps because they were intended to be hard to copy well. Stamps have fallen out of favour actually, death of snail mail for correspondence etc, but I love old stamp collections with all teh communist era and from ww2 and pre ww2 and ww1 showing everything from Mussolini to Franco to the whacky Ussr stuff. Anyway the point is funko pops have no aspect of value. If one attains any value they are such crude products they can be quickly be copied easily. I don't get the appeal at all and I get nearly every form of collector and collecting although obviously I value antiques and intrinsic rarity or value more. I think there is something wrong mentally with funko pop collectors though.
>funko pop collectors
To be fair everyone is a coward. You are to. You just don't know that. It is not about being a coward it is about accepting you are and then choosing to ignore that
>Is it wrong to own guns just for fun/novelty?
No
But going on long homosexual rants to try to justify your choices is
>entryism: somewhat fine
>after securing personal, kin and community self-defense needs: fine
Tchotchkes and knick knacks are intrinsically worthless, useless things -- and in firearms, nothing to do with your civic obligations. Get the tools required to fulfill them first, and the practice and training on them to be effective. Then and only then 'range toys'.
My gun collection will surely carry me through any disaster, which is good because I'm fat and crippled and sure as shit won't be doing it myself.
