Hello all,
I just registered with THR today; I love the sight so far. Hopefully all of you will enjoy this.
This is completely true, not a single exaggeration. Also, this is a perfect example of my inability to understand anyone who is against owning or using guns in a safe manner.
Not to long ago, when the "Assault Weapons" ban died, thus significantly increasing our chances of being drive by bayoneting victims, I bought an AR 15 complete with all of the goodies, threaded barrel, bayonet lug, high capacity mags. I have thoroughly enjoyed my purchase.
Anyway, at Thanksgiving a lot of my extended family came over, including my Aunt, who to my knowledge has been conservative and has grown up with guns to a certain extent, she came with her boyfriend from Washington D.C., who was described to me as "a liberal." Now, before making any hasty judgments I thought that I would meet him and make my own decision about his character.
Thanksgiving was very pleasant, Sean didn't seem like to bad of a guy, although my family is generally very conservative and pro gun and we did make some degrading remarks toward liberals. Anyway after dinner, my cousin asked me if she could see my guns. So I hauled out my ar 15 complete with bayonet and thirty round mag attached. My cousin is 18, she is very kind and wouldn't hurt a fly, she exclaimed "cool!" - I thought so too. However, my aunt’s boyfriend- Sean- was in the same room, when he settled his eyes upon the monstrosity that was in my hand, he promptly closed his eyes and lay down on the bed he was on.
I thought this to be strange, but then I thought again that he did live in a part of the country with the most restrictive gun laws and that he probably liked being disarmed and unable to defend himself in the country's most crime ridden area, so I didn't really try to understand his thinking, he is, after all, a liberal.
This is the best part:
The next day I was talking to my aunt about her suitor and discovered that Sean had not had the most pleasant Thanksgiving. She and Sean were staying in our trailer, they had ventured out there to go to bed after the festivities were over.
Word for word, this is how my aunt described her boyfriend retiring for bed:
Upon entering Sean promptly burst into tears and continued wailing on the bed, my aunt lay next to him holding him and trying to console him while he was overcome with the horror of my firearm. He continued in this manner for an unspecified amount of time.
This being the most absurd and hilarious description I have encountered in a long time, I had to know more (After nearly losing conciousness as well as bowel control):
I asked: Was he afraid the gun was going to go off? She said No
I asked: Was he afraid the Bayonet was going to hurt someone? She said No
I asked: Well why the %$^& was he crying?!?!?
She said, Well Sean has never seen a gun in real life before, it was a culture shock, and he was traumatized.
I asked: So was he okay when I was carving the turkey, with my weapon?
She threw the pillow on the couch at me.
I guess that Sean had left something in my room the same day and asked my aunt if "She would go into the 'gun room' and get it for her"
I was completely blown away. I asked her if they ever talked about their differing views in politics, and she said no. I foresee an interesting, if not hateful relationship ensuing.
My dad, upon hearing this story, exclaimed; "I think the only time I could cry over a gun is if I lost it!" How true.
I thought it was truely awesome that I made a grown man cry with an inanimate object, without any threat present whatsover.
So to all of you gun enthusiasts out there, if you want to rouse some emotion in the anti gunners, simply take them to a gun show, at which they will promptly curl up into the fetal position and "find a happy place."
Happy Holidays
