What Are Your Pet Peeves RE:Guns???

Not having enough guns to fill up my safe.
Not having enough time to shoot more.

Not being able to break someone's nose for sweeping me with their muzzle.
Hypocrites who profess to be pro RKBA, but support waiting periods, mag caps and assault weapon bans.

(1) Prices for pre-ban Glock mags

(2) A 250$ .32 pistol that costs more than a Mossberg 500 12 gague (and darn it, I want one)

(3) People (friends) who own more guns that I do, who shoot more than I do, who spend 2000$ a year on guns and ammo but won't shell out ten bucks to join the NRA

(4) Listening to my dad and uncle call me a radical, but they both own more guns than I do and both have CCWs

(5) 22 magnum shells that are 5 times the price of 22LR

(6) Three dollar gun parts that cost 50-75$

(7) And - oh yeah - prices for pre-ban Glock mags.

I second the 'recoil' complaint...my wife, also an NRA instructor in pretty much everything, loves to hear from people that tell her just how painfull the .357 is, and how the .44 mag will rip a strong man's arm clean off.

She shoots her .454 Casull with one hand.

Heck, in one class we ran last year, an 8-year-old girl shot it, no bleeding from the eyes or anything :)

So, one of my big hates: people who tell you how bad recoil is...who have never shot the caliber in question.

Also, to shamelessly steal, I HATE 15 round pistols that hold 10 rounds.

I love guns but I'm getting crotchety 'bout people. I thought y'all had hit
my biggest "peeves" talking about muzzle sweep and the other good ones
above.

Then TAZ comes in with, "Hypocrites who profess to be pro RKBA, but
support waiting periods, mag caps and assault weapon bans."

Ya GOT me! (Yeah, and the neighbors panicked again, the 9-1-1 dispatcher
called again and chewed me out again for loud, vulgar language!)

So let me add to Taz's comment: The Republicans, the NRA officials, and
the gun owners who have compromised away the vast majority of our RKBA
with a fervor and rationalization that would astound even (Arthur) Neville
Chamberlain. Yet they insist on advocating “just a little more” gun control to fight “big” gun control and call it a philosophy.

This failed program of appeasement apparently will continue until we have
nothing left with which to resist.

(Dang it, TAZ! Ya got me in trouble *again*! ;)

Either you believe in the Second Amendment or you don't.
Stick it to 'em! RKBA!

My pet peeves.

My stupid friend who doesn't understand why I love my 1911 and why I want a revolver. And the fact that he refuses to even look at the 1911 as an option to buy because the technology behind the 1911 is almost 100 years old. And the technology behind the revolver is older

Stupid people who own guns, but shouldn't be allowed to own gun, like my other friend who it normal 90% of the time, but everyone in a while, a screw pops loose and he gets stupid.

My stupid front sight on my 1911 cuz it came off

People who sit at home waiting for the ATF to come knock down their door. I have news for them it ain't gonna happen unless you go outside a little bit and start raising hell.

People who refuse to go shooting with me. I ask all nice like and I tell them the first time is free and they still won't come out. arg.

People that want me to put a scope on my AR-15's because "its more fun that way". That person needs to learn how to shoot well with iron sights first at a decent range. Then he can shell out the money for the scope

Not having a range under my house. So I can shoot at midnight when I really need to get the stress out of my system.

It ain't mah fault. did I do dat?
 
I could rehash what most of you already said, but here's a couple more:

RKBA "Supporters" who complain about ever increasing gun laws, then turn around and support the enforcement of EXISTING gun laws. But then maybe I'm an "extremist" for wanting to REPEAL ALL existing guns laws.

The philosophy that liberty, including the RKBA, is a FAVOR granted to us little peons by our elected supereors; rather than a God given RIGHT that was recognized and honored by our American forefathers.

That we can not purchase, own or operate any conventional hand weapon of our choice. Unless its Okee Dokey w/those superior to us.

The glee that is expressed by a gun owner when they get their permission slip from their superior saying that they are now allowed to defend their loved ones, whereas had they done so w/out permission, they would be fined, removed from said loved ones, thrown into a small room w/a bunch of criminals.

Here's one for the manufacturers:
High price tags in exchange for junk.

I'm done complaining.....Next.....

Morons who spin guns on finger.

Morons who like to show their gun collections, and pass them around, loaded, to complete strangers.

Morons who keep dozens of guns loaded in their room, unsecured, in a house full of non-gun informed people, because "an empty gun is just a club".

Morons who think that whatever their pet gun currently is is the greatest thing ever created and everything else is crap.

Wait a second! This is all the same person! It's one of my old room-mates, imagine that. :)
 
1. Idiot duck hunters and skeet shooters who say "why does anyone need an ak-47"?. In other words, people who hunt or shoot trap /skeet that don't care about the rights of others to own semi-auto rifles and handguns.

2. Guys who buy a 800 dollar rifle and put a 50 dollar scope on it.

3. Manual safeties on handguns.

4. Magazine disconects

5. Heavy double action trigger pulls on revolvers. (listen up Ruger)

6. large, bulky grips on small j-frame,pocket revolvers

7. Double action only, large frame, semi-autos--except for glock which is not really double action only but called "safe action"

8. people who don't observe gun safety

9. Long arms that come from the factory without sling swivel studs already installed

10. Gun stores that have everything but don't have what I want.

*** 11. Most important. Given the current political attitudes toward firearms, if I ever have kids, they won't be able to enjoy firearms as I did when I was young. For example, we used to talk about fireams in school all the time when I was a kid. I used to get into big arguments with the teacher about gun control and what not. Today, I would probably be removed from class and put on a "watch list" for such "subversive" behavior. Makes me not want to have kids. :(

Seeing my hobby become a political football, with the 'dialogue' dominated by morons.

The creepy feeling that in spite of being a 'good guy' for fifty plus years society is measuring me for a coffin, or at least jail clothes.

Shooters who won't/can't do ANY homework on their own. (How did they ever get through school?)

Same shooters with shallow opinions who know it all ('My cousin owned one and it was junk'.)

Shooters who think they 'need' $2000 guns, sharkskin rigs, Sabertooth Tiger Claw ammo and exotic finishes to shoot pop cans properly.

Shooters who wave gun muzzles towards me and wonder why I get upset.
