Is it wrong to own guns just for fun/novelty?

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?

      Why are you mad at me?

      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?
      No
      The only wrong thing is not owning guns

      I don't like the idea of being moronic. It destroyed my self-esteem and hurts my ego.

        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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    "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.

        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).

        > societal collapse
        Complete bullshit any societal collapse takes place over generations and there is no implication of doomsday prepper crap. The whole prepper collapse meme selling endless useless shit to people with anxiety disorders and paranoid skizos is just a mean marketing scam,

        >, 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.
        Maybe maybe not, I have survived two wars although I think my ability to talk to armed people confidently had as much to do with that as my ability to kill them. I really really would not want to be a looter or petty criminal and encounter someone like me. I' not a nice man or a good man and have killed people, depending on the situation I may even torture or sexually abuse them especially since my mind basically broke and I never speak to anyone any more.

          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.
