Things that a lot of people say about guns that ticks you off

Some of my least favorites...

"It's the answer to a question that nobody asked." :rolleyes:

"I'd rather be tried by twelve than carried by six."

"As long as it starts with a 4"

"'Cause they don't make a .46"

"John M. Browing didn't _____ so therefore, ______" :rolleyes:

"If it's not a Colt, it's a copy."
 
When people post on message boards calling guns JUNK because they feel it is JUNK from reading about it on the internet, or they heard it from the brother of their aunts cousins neighbor's boy's best friend, or they had a defective gun once. They come to every topic on that gun and post the same thing several times on that topic. They won't even say what happen to the gun.

Obnoxious, arrogant, condescending BS that is basically a flat out insult to my intelligence, implying that I'm believing something so stupid that it needs no explaining.

a little story. In the world of premium cigar smoking, a term, "dog rocket" is used as a label for a bad cigar. Unfortunately, "dog rocket" means "i don't like it" to a whole lot of other people.

One day, I explained that once I hear the word "dog rocket" i lose a great deal of respect for the user, I quit listening, and I go about the rest of the day thinking about what a fool he is.

you know, if something is trash, tell me why. I don't care if it was nothing but the color of the band, you either explain to me why something I personally hold in high regard is trash, or just shut up.

Mostly, people here DO EXPLAIN, in detail.

BTW, after passing that on several times, strangely, a whole lot of people stopped using the words dog rocket. I never imagined that those people cared what I think.
 
Actually, I don't give a dang what people say or how they say it in gun talk. If someone says clip instead of magazine, I know what they mean and don't care that they said it (I don't have a need to feel superior).

The only thing that bothers me is EVERYTHING that comes out of the mouth of an anti-2nd amendment/anti-gun person.
 
I'm tired of gun enthusiast making it seem as if the Obama adminstration is out to take our guns. Making everything gun related high as hell. I honestly have not heard a thing from him about gun rights. Until recently the previous governor of Michigan was a democrat and During her administration they were giving out cpl's like candy. I really wish Obama would take the wind out of some of these people's sails and say he really doesn't give a sh@!t. If anything they should be giving him a kickback for increasing gun sales an 9mm ammo.
 
^+1

The whole Obama taking away guns is beyond ridiculous. It doesn't take a political science major to see that. Certainly some disagree, and I'll just laugh in a few years when he's out.
 
Remember when the republicans tried to reauthorize the "Assault Weapons Ban"?

Now a suspicious person might think that was so other republicans could turn around and get money to fight against a new AWB.
If your opponents don't do anything to rile up your base, you'll just have to do it yourself.

Oh and pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.
 
My younger brother partly due to playing call of duty refers to all revolvers as "magnums". The other day he asked me if he could try shooting my "magnum" as in my old single action Ruger .22LR revolver.
 
Not directly gun related, but I see it on the forums and it relates to butchering game. I don't know where it started, but I saw it on a "hunting video" was actually an advertisement for knives disguised as a hunting video...anyway, the jerk in the film kept referring to tendons as "silver skin." I was confused for awhile until I realized what he meant. Now, any time somebody pipes up about butchering, they make it a point that you remove all the "silver skin." They are called TENDONS, guys. Basic anatomy. They connect muscle to bone.

Next we'll be calling the meat "red stuff" and bones "white, hard things."
 
"If you own a gun, you are a terrorist". .....So I will simply reply...."Well in that case, would you prefer to hang around me, or with that unknown, unseen fella with a NUKE in the briefcase".?
 
I have been told that, "Preachers should never kill anyone."

I have a whole sermon for that one!

Would love to read that sermon.
What ticks me off is when there's a discussion about lower-cost guns and someone will often end up saying "You mean your life is only worth X amount of dollars?"

Frankly, it's a cruel lie to suggest something need be expensive to be dependable. Now sure, the ridiculously cheap guns shouldn't really be trusted (I am talking like the $50 Rohm revolvers), but it's actually fairly easy to find excellent firearms for around $350 or even under $300, which is still far from expensive as far as guns go.

Not everyone can afford XYZ gun not even with a place that does layaway. That's like telling someone you can't defend yourself because you can't afford a "insert gun name here " Get off the high horses people. I like the saying that says if it works for you awesome.
Misuse of the word "Clip"

OMG lets just jump an everyone that messes up and drive them from wanting to learn. Granted I am still fairly new to guns and have a lot to learn . But come on is it hurting anyone to say clip instead of magazine? It just makes me want to not talk to people like that. I still goof up and call a magazine a clip and I probably will for a long time. but as someone posted that 99% of people know what you are talking about.

Those are some very confused people. I've never seen anyone refer to tendons as "silver skin". Tendons are tendons, silver skin is the silvery, rainbowy "skin" that surrounds much of the meat.
 
What type of gun?

My pet peeve when someone tells me that they own a gun. I ask what caliber and they don't know. I ask what model ? Manufacturer?
They only know what color it is.
 
People who think I'm crazy to carry a gun with no "safety". As in:

"I don't care if it is a Sig Sauer. I'd never carry hammer down with one in the chamber and no safety"

Unfortunately these are often people who actually know at least a little about guns, otherwise I wouldn't be discussing my carry choices with them.

It's all tendinous tissue. Tendon, deep fascia, or sinew. I don't expect everybody to refer to it as deep fascia I guess (which it is), but "silver skin" bugs me. Show me in an anatomy book any mention of "silver skin."

Look I'll be honest, it's just a pet peeve. That's what this thread is about. Does it really matter...proly not. This is a free country, call it what you want. It's no different than calling the antlers "horns" or the magazine a "clip", or cartridges "bullets." But it bugs me.

What bugs me is when people say "proly" instead of probably. I don't care if you misspell words or use the wrong words (I only care when I do it) as long as I can still understand you but for some reason proly really bugs me. That's one of my pet peeves.

What bugs me about gun talk is when I mention guns to someone who doesn't know much about guns, talks like they are only for shooting people. As if there is no other aspect to owning and shooting guns. Its also a sport, hobby,and sometimes I like working on guns more than shooting them.
