Would you play Russian Roulette?

One bullet in the chamber, six blanks. Just because one is deadly, doesn't mean the next pull of the trigger will kill you.

This is how I see politics.

"Just because they screwed us over last time, doesn't prove they will now."

Pull that trigger.

Terrible metaphor.

I don't want a blank going off against my temple thanks.

Is it really?

Bad political actors have been responsible for a lot of deaths. Talking documented stuff, from declassified material (Plus the bombing of innocent civilians everyone knows about. Bush Jr., Bill Clinton, and even Obama have blood on their hands)

Blanks can do you damage, they often have a cap made of plastic or paper and come out of most guns at between 800 and 1300 ft per second. That with cause a nasty dent and quite probably kill you if barrel against skin.

Barrels also get ****ing hot and if it is a glue plug in your blank, it will be ****ing hot too and exert a f load of pressure.

Yep. Brandon Lee was accidentally killed by a blank.

I've said it a million times on this board in the UK I have absolutely no legitimate reason to have a gun. The fact I Clay Pigeon shoot is not in my opinion a legitimate reason and the risk of them falling into the wrong hands is my selfishness of not getting rid of them. I really should. Guns are ****ing stupid. I have an assault rifle in my Apartment here now since the endSars riots about six months ago, rioting, shooting and looting made me, I'm not sure its the sensible decision. Hopefully its safe enough to finish that work in the North now so I will probably be vanishing again soon.

About 10 years ago I went to my mum's allotment to collect some carrots and this old dude she knew shot two pidgeons for eating later.

I can see why that shouldn't be illegal...

But shooting people for whatever reason? No.

This story reminds me of the time farmer Maggot over reacted to me and my cousin stealing some wild mushrooms from his crop.

No, the point was he used a gun to get some food. It wasn't stealing, he just wanted to shoot the critters, butcher them, then cook them. I mean, that is basic hunting.

Don't shoot people. 😘

Mindship Snap out of it.

Russian Roulette. Glad you mentioned it.

I metaphorize RR when I see crowds of people during covid, the most recent being Spring Break. I wonder, if six is too risky, how many chambers would the gun have to have where most would say, yes.

Yeah, but "Access" is problem imo,most people have lost the plot a few times in their lives whether they admit it or not. At those time having a gun available probably isn't a good idea.

I'm pro gun because pro liberty, in general, but on a personal level I'm very anti gun.

On second thought, I hate to admit this, but I'd like to have a gun to stop some maniac.

I wouldn't own a gun personally, but people have the right to have guns.
