A guy asks a gun question on Facebook...

Brainwashed people ignore logic and reason, IOW you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink.

FXHummel on Youtube is a gun loving musician, he writes original gun parody songs such as "Sheeple", "I'm in love with an anti-gunner", and "The Biblical self defense song":







P.S. Does anyone in the Bay Area want to jam?

How about "Because I can" and point him toward Hickhop......

"How can you be a lover of guns and a lover of music. The two are just not compatible."

A fellow musician just asked that question. How would you answer him?

I'm thinking..

Guns protect my family.
Guns are my right.
I like target shooting.
I like hunting and eating what I hunt.
Guns are fun.
Guns are a hobby.
Lots of people serving in law enforcement and the military are also musicians.

"How can you be a lover of guns and a lover of music. The two are just not compatible."

Tell the guy to ask Eric Clapton, an avid shotgun shooter and one of the world's foremost collectors of high-end shotguns. Or Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull, who was a die hard pistol enthusiast, into Colt single actions and Sigs, but late 90s UK laws put a damper oh his hobby. Joe Perry of Aerosmith is a collector of old flintlocks and pistols who also is an avid hunter. Ted Nugent is of course a gun enthusiast and hunter, along with James Hetfield from Metallica. Krist Novoselic of Nirvana is a firearms owner, as was Kurt Cobain. Eddie Van Halen was reputed to have a nice collection of EBRs in the 80s. Mel Torme was a huge collector of Colt single-actions. Ozzy Osbourne, Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Hank Williams Jr., Bob Dylan, Warren Zevon, the list goes on. And you know there are a lot of famous musicians out there who own guns, but nobody knows about it.

There are different classifications of artillery. And actually Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture uses cannon fire to depict Russian cannon fire against Napoleon and cannons are classified as "guns". Guns because their trajectory angles make their fire direct-fire. Just like the nine 16-inch guns on the World War II Iowa class Battleships. So in the video I posted the howitzers being used are just mimicking the Russian cannon fire.

That picture doesn't show how a howitzer call also fire at high angle similar to a mortar. That is what makes it so effective, it can fire like a gun or mortar

Sorry just my Artillery Ops Chief experience kicking back in. We showed the students a picture similar to this when teaching computation of Site.(correcting for the difference in altitude between the howitzer and the Target

The sound of sustained, full automatic .50 caliber machine gun fire at sunset is like a Mozart concerto.

Multiple MGs firing at the same time is absolutely beautiful especially with a good cigar and a glass of wine.

He's an idiot. Wouldn't get an answer from me.

Just post this and say nothing...

"How can you be a lover of guns and a lover of music. The two are just not compatible."

Logically, this is called a false analogy.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_analogy

You could just as easily say:
"How can you be a lover of apples and a lover of oranges? The two are just not compatible."
or
"How can you be a lover of sports and a lover of television? The two are just not compatible."
or
"How can dogs bark and cats meow? The two are just not compatible."
etc...

In order to make an argument from analogy, the analogy must be valid. Otherwise the argument is invalid.

I have a feeling the person who said this may lack the ability to understand the error of their logic.

[oktavist]

And the logical fallacy of "false dilemma" rears it's ugly head yet again...

Technically, not a false dilemma.

LOL I use guitar cases for my rifles

Yes, they work good for range bags. Especially when I go to the range on a motorcycle.

That's the dumbest thing I ever heard; don't have babies

Both valid answers to an invalid argument of false analogy.
