In South America you are not allowed guns for protection, i think. Its only in the US. When i was living in Colombia they hated if i said America and only ment the US. 10 minutes ago, Orb said: Again, it's just nice to have IF shit goes down one day. Yep lets all have increasingly more destructive nukes. Just in case. And a bigger gun than our neighbour, also just in case. Its amazing to use ressources on that, and we feel a lot more safe that way. Quote Mention Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm talking about having a pistol or a semi automatic rifle. I'm not asking for a laser gun, although that'd be awesome. Quote Mention "Mediocrity is gone. Mind is clear of limitation.

Phil Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 Man makes drone satellites, high powered scopes, gun barrels & boundaries in an attempt to see loa. Because thought defines perception & feeling. The only goal of shadow boxing is to be faster; to anticipate your opponents next move.

Are you sating that people who buy weapons and enforce borders attract them? That’s the orientation, but more so no, not quite. The proper, as in most accurate word which can be uttered… for believing there are people, weapons and borders, is insanity. The segway to insanity is the belief in states (see definition of insanity). The bitter sweetness of insanity’s last breath is insecurity & fear didn’t exist, and were guidance to security & love all along. The deeper bitter sweetness is one could’ve simply focused on wanted.

I'm just saying, I want to own a firearm, I don't see anything wrong with living a peaceful life and just having a firearm on me as a tool to be used if ever need be. I may never use it for self defense but it's nice just to have something. Quote Mention "Mediocrity is gone. Mind is clear of limitation. I seek no state of enlightenment.

I may never use it for self defense but it's nice just to have something. No one is saying there’s anything wrong. To ‘meet you were you’re at’, which is the same as saying, ‘to venture into the belief in states and therein insanity’… For every SINGLE occurrence in which a gun was purchased & used (with the intention of home defense) in The United States: (Notice the very term exemplifies insanity & deception as it expresses Unity (one) while claiming there are States (two). There were 4 unintentional shootings. There were 7 criminal assaults or homicides. There were 11 attempted or completed suicides. This means, statistically speaking, the odds of you (or someone using your gun) unintentionally shooting somebody are 4 times higher than the gun being used to defend your home legally. The odds of of your gun being the reason you go to jail are 7 times higher than the odds of the gun being used to defend your home legally. The odds of your gun being used for suicide are 11 times higher than the odds of your gun being used to defend your home legally. (Now we zoom back out from insanity by noticing of course odds & evens are duality, or, the activity of thought, beliefs, like the belief insecurity & fear are things.) Again, statistically speaking, the ‘right’ reason to purchase a gun is for someone to accidently be shot, killed, or for suicide. And this is insanity. The insanity of there being ‘right & wrong’, or, states. Why does someone shoot up a school? Being born into insanity. Who’s blamed? The “shooter”.

You also don’t want your family being brutally shot down while peacefully watching a concert, by someone who was bullied most of his life and resents the whole world. I prefer a world with neither, not both. Quote Mention Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
