Thanks. The studies I’ve just found on it are…odd to say the least but from what you’ve alluded to, the studies into it are ongoing. By several factors it seems as if it’s just anxiety based that of which can be linked to anything if a flare up occurs. You break your leg in a motorcycle wreck, your bone heals, but now you get worried when you think about riding again and that makes your leg hurt. The pain is psychosomatic. I know, because that happened to me in September of 2012 (ironically). Didn’t know they were classifying it as ptsd because it was something I eventually got over. 🤔

Depends. In what context are you talking about? Because if you just sit there and generalize the whole community based on a joke or based on a criminal event, you aren’t looking at the entire picture. You throw the word culture around relating to the gun community but you clearly dismiss the vast majority within the community constantly preaching gun safety, shoot responsibly, secure their firearms properly, and try to educate those who don’t know what the “culture” is all about. It’s not even a culture. It’s in essence your right to self preservation. To answer your question, I see the ignorance surrounding what non-gun owners view as gun culture, as the problem. I see the lack of focus on the sequence of events that lead up to the criminal act mainly what the motive was, as a problem. And I see the constant emotional restrict access, reclassify, and ban it mentality that the other side keeps pushing as another problem.

Jeebus cripes that’s a “dick bangin prostitutes” ton to unpack here (I said “cripes” lest you think that I’m fetishizing religion too with this joke). /s

“Ah ok my bad, I didn’t realize that comparing a gun collection to porn or making sexual jokes about guns isn’t actually sexual and is out of context. You’ll have to forgive my reaching, sometimes I just see such basic logic and can’t help but reach for it you know?”

So basic logic is any joke, pun, limerick relating to sex and guns = fetishized ewww. Got it. Orrrrr you don’t agree with the culture so you find any way you can to stigmatize it.

“Jokes aside, the culture surrounding guns is not healthy.”

Yes because cultivating physical fitness, a proactive mindset about deadly threat prevention and response, as well as being mindful of your capabilities, is unhealthy. /s Yeah, I’m getting the feeling that you can’t use your own basic logic to differentiate between gun culture and criminal activity.

“But we can just look at his post, it’s comments and reactions to prove me right. I show up, stating facts about BOTH sides of the gun debate, and only receive downvotes and lies about people’s behavior despite providing undeniable proof of said behavior? Do you think that’s healthy?”

This is reddit, stop getting hung up on the downvote thing. People can disagree with your opinions. If you care that much, kinda says more about the health of your mentality, buddy.

“Let’s look at the other comments. A bunch of the usual gun debate suspects in this sub, and not a SINGLE one of them is saying that this is a problem. What are they doing? Going after the one turbo anti gun guy who deleted their comment. Do you think this is healthy?”

What the hell are you talking about? You do the exact same thing. Hell, you wrote me multiple paragraphs in response.

“Silence is an omission of guilt. There IS a gun problem. A ban won’t work, so attacking the culture surrounding guns or lowering the amount in circulation…”

I’m gonna stop you right there. Lowering the amount of guns isn’t gonna stop people from being violent assholes or irresponsible/ignorant individuals. We have tons of government programs here and yet I don’t see any officials proposing use of funds for proper secure and quick access gun safes or incentives to gun safety courses. You want to keep guns out of the wrong hands, start there.

“And last but not least, the post you commented on is literally comparing guns to porn and you comment in the second link could not be anything except sexual. Please do not lie when you’re anonymous online, it’s pointless. Have some self respect”

That doesn’t equal a fetish or fetishization. It’s a joke not actual porn. Unless you were aroused by it somehow, in which case, you do you. 🤷‍♂️.

Then clarify. What do you mean by fetishization?

Edit: How does my asking if it has a tag or making a joke qualify as fetishization of the culture? Don’t try to take it out of context, nothing that was posted is actually sexual in nature. You’re reaching hence the downvote.

Edit 2: and buddy, I didn’t even downvote you.

I’m saving up and looking for land to do just that as well. Currently I have a good sized property but no where near the size that I want for this task.

Do not call the police for firearms that you have that are not in your lawful possession EVER! Op’s friend needs to contact their executor and find out if there was any documentation naming inheritance for the firearms. Either way the executor or an attorney can advise her on what to do with them. I get that some people in this sub don’t like guns but having LE take possession of them without proper instruction could potentially land the possessor in hot water or cause them to miss out on a sale (should they go that route)that could net them thousands if it was a historical piece. There’s nothing worse than finding out you relinquished a piece for a $50 visa gift card that was worth $25,000 because you didn’t know any better. Or worse you get some nonsense possession charge because you are technically considered a prohibited person. Crazier things have happened.

Reply to Police Investigate 2 People Found Shot Dead in Danbury Home by YourAsianBuddy

A well being check after only 24 hours is sketchy AF. Gunshots to the head in a basement bedroom and they were found on the floor. Depending on where they were shot, this could be either a suicide or a very methodical home invasion. Clayton rd isn’t a secluded rural area. Be it Sunday or Monday morning 2 gun shots not being heard or reported by the very close proximity neighbors that were most likely home Sunday or leaving for work Monday morning unless the work from home? Bruh.
