It makes me shake my head when otherwise intelligent and experienced people can say things as false as this:

ORIGINAL: njlauren
If they have been around guns their entire lives and taken numerous courses, they would not be playing with them like that.
The reality is probably exactly the opposite. That, like other object fetishes (panties, stockings, etc), the people who fetishize guns are primarily the ones who grew up around them and saw them a lot.
Honestly, njlauren, your comments stand out in this thread. Lots of people are saying, "I would never engage in gun play, and here's why." You're repeatedly saying, "Anyone who engages in gun play knows nothing about guns, and is a general dumbshit."
Maybe separate facts from moralism? You might learn something. Also, if you could restrain your "I'm better than you" reflex for long enough to ask someone, "Really? Why do you do things like that? I'm curious how someone could be so different from me," you might discover that people sometimes have personal histories well outside the fuzzy handcuff box.
I didn't say they were dumbshit, I said they were foolish, and btw, I wasn't the only one, read the threads before making it seem like I was alone. Other people said exactly what I did, that when you start playing around with guns, that is makes someone careless, instead of being something that rightfully should be respected, it inures you to the danger of it. All I can tell you is I have been through gun safety instruction, know more then a few gun enthusiasts, and the major point they always teach you is to respect the weapon, that it has a purpose, and that when you forget it people die. It just takes one mistake, one stupid moment, and someone is dead, and that is the point. You can do it 50 times, and have no problems, and it is that once that gets you.
I just love it when people go on about the risks in life, how there are no guarantees, and that is of course true, you have a massive heart attack in an isolated area, and your heart stops, CPR is only about 15% effective in actually restarting the heart (it was designed as life support, not restarting it). A fucking meteor can fall on you, the odds of getting hurt or killed in a car are not non zero, you ride the subways at 2am through really rotten areas of the city in the middle of a murder epidemic, all are risky. My point is simply that with gun play, that you can get the edge while ameliorating the risk, and I just feel that a weapon, a real gun, is not a toy and shouldn't be treated as one..if people want to do it, I can't stop them, but that is my opinion. You can tell me how edge players are all so bold, how they are pushing the limits, how it is so real, but quite frankly, there are places where I push it and where I won't....I still have scars and skin that never healed right from pulling someone from a burning car after an accident, when the damn gas tank could have exploded and incinerated me, but it was worth the risk.....we all take risks, I just happen to feel very strongly about weapons and misuse of them, I saw the victims of misuse of them, a 3 year old girl that we couldn't do anything for , dead because her stupid parents carelessly left it around, loaded, had another case where someone shot their wife, they heard a noise (turned out it was squirrels had gotten into the attic and the walls, were making a racket), and johnny rambo shot at the noise, bullet went through a wall, nicked a major blood vessel in the wife.
I know I sound harsh and judgemental, but I will admit I am sensitive to the dangers of guns, I have seen the damage carelessness does, and gun play triggers a lot in me.
