We all like guns right? Why?

[hundreddollarman]

I enjoy firearms for the same reason I collect wristwatches - I admire the fine craftmanship.

FREEDOM.........

Simply Freedom......... And the fact that our founding fathers says we shalL and we all should.

Even though our Goverment and our current king continues to dilute our constitution some of us will fight for what is right in many ways.

Because guns are sexy

[trigger945]

Many reasons. A few below, not necessarily in order:

Protection/defense of self, family, loved ones and property

Art form and precision

Expression of freedom/right

Showing responsibility

The challenge of shooting - long distance, tight groups, fast, etc.

Appreciation for history

The rush it gives me when I press the trigger and a controlled explosion follows

Curiosity of how guns work

The evolution of guns

Pushing things to the limits

Continuous improvement

Spending quality time with myself

Being in the zone when I am at the range and nothing else matters

Pursuit of fine, mechanical pieces

Because I can own guns

i appreciate fine craftsmanship, im also amazed by the complexity yet simple designs of these wonderful machinery just like a swiss watch. although some may argue there's high risk with owning firearms im glad our forefathers had the insight to the see the importance of including it in our bill of rights. we do live in one of the most strict states but we still have a lot more freedom that many places in the world and i dont want to take that for granted.

I don't think I could put the reason in to words. I've always wondered why some people DON'T like guns though.

Well, firearm ownership for me isn't so much about what I like about them but what they do. They are a means of defense for me. But I must say, that in researching which guns to own and why, over the years I have become interested in the engineering and physics of a gun. Fascinating stuff.

I've always been into mechanical/technical things, even as a kid I needed to know what makes a lawnmower engine work. I build (performance) engines and custom cars for a living, guns are just another mechanical/technical thing that fascinates me. Being able to take a small piece of metal and have it hit where you want hundreds of yards away (or tens of yards with a handgun) just fascinates me. Plus the precision of a fire arms mechanics. on top of that the relaxing aspect of shooting, clearing your mind and concentrating on you next shot, trying to make it better than the last one. Just one of the aspects of of guns that I like, some others have been mentioned in previous posts.

Guess I have a slightly different answer than most. NYE 2010, I fell off a balcony and paralyzed my left arm. I was fortunate in that there was no nerve damage, so I had a chance of recovery. About a year later, I got about 99% of function back in my arm. I use firearms to measure how stable I can keep my hands (I shake quite a bit now). Plus it's a fun hobby. People often ask why not archery instead, but that is because I like modern stuff as opposed to old junk.

Because my wife hates em.

[Stanze]

Because 'murica!

[Milsurpguy2000]

Since a majorty of everything I own is older then I am, I would have to say for historical reasons.

Guns are Barbie dolls for men and women.

Guns are for protection.

I have a very stressful and demanding job, going to the range once in a month and shooting at paper targets is a great way to reduce stress.

[Euphoria526]

Because I can.
