Can i own a fire-arm and still Be a hippie

as long as you drop acid, you're as hippy as it gets.. jj nahh you dont really need it but it will still give you some psychedelic points

 

I own a gun and hunt yet i consider myself a hippy. I use everything i kill and NEVER trophey hunt. I have gotten past the point where i use a gun though. It is far to impersonal and far too easy. I personaly prefer my bow. It takes alot more skill. It was hard for me to kill my first deer, but I did it. Butchered it myself and tanned the hide. hell i even made a few pipes from the antlers.

 

Personally, I wouldn't want to own a gun. However, I have shot them before, and consider myself to be a decent shot. Many of my family members own guns, so I have shot high powered rifles, shotguns, handguns/pistols, .22's, and of course bb and pellet guns.
I don't think there is anything wrong with shotting for sport (as in target shooting, skeet shooting, etc.), or with hunting (as long as the person eats the meat). But I personally have no use for a gun. I do not hunt, nor do I regularly shoot at targets or clay pigeons. I believe in strict gun control, and that people who shoot their hunting partners in the face with bird-shot shouldn't carry guns.

 

I have converted my guns to pipes


If someone breaks into my home, rapes my wife, pillages my house, and slits my throat, then on my deathbed I can take solace that I was a true hippy pacifist.

 

It is not easy to shoot another human-- I've had several chances and legitimate circumstances--people robbing my property. At the last milli-second, I took the bead of the shotgun off their head, and shot the tailgate of their truck. They were just ignorant kids-- didn't deserve to die.


Maybe they learnt a lesson-- maybe not.

In that case, my double-barrell, 12 gauge, Lefevre awaits you--BOOM!BOOM!

Magnum #4 shot.

 

Echo, do you still want the thread closed? There is a way you can do it. (Been so long, I forgot how, I think it is when you go to "Edit.") If you can't do it, and want it done, I'll close it for you.

 

do whatever you feel is right.


i, personally cannot own a gun. like someone mentioned earlier . . . it makes me feel much too powerful. not a good thing.

don't hurt things. that makes it bad.

but . . . DO ask yourself if it's necessary to own a firearm just to "shoot cans."

and my advice to you is: don't let the stereotype "hippie" control you; a true "hippie" could care less whether or not they're considered one.

peace & happiness to you, my friend.

 

man thats fucked up... in montreal i dunno anyone who owns a gun lol. neither have i ever seen one, except on a cop... U.S. might as well know they have at least 25 000 deaths due to guns every year. i guess some just dont see the people sleeping behind the cans huh?

 

ahahaha thats to fuckin funny..

man.. ahahahaahhaaahaaahahhahaah...

oh so much wisdom in those lil bit of words..

ahaahhahaahaahhaa

 

when i was like?? 23 ?? when we first moved full time here,,mid winter,,the driveway was frost heaved to hell an back..

someone came in at like 3 in the mornin in a chevy chevette,, turned around,,

an procceeded to try an make it back out..

man fuckers lucky i was tryin to load a loaded gun in my half awake sleep..

took him like 4 trys..

since then i never pull a gun on a human..
i cant vouch for the women here tho..

 

I shot a squirrel when I was four. We had squirrel pie alot on the farm.

 

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, how about no.

I myself think owning firearms is a great right which you should feel no guilt about exercising at all. There's no set definition of what a hippie is, and if there was, would it stop you from doing something you liked?

 

lol whatever, if you wanna shoot thigns for fun why dont u make a peashooter? or i dunno some spitballs, those are fuckin awesome and dont kill. but the point of a gun is mostly to kill and hunt... its a tool of war. if you wanna waste ammunition and guns because you wanna shoot cans, well alright. have fun.

(i really dont care though, do know that all i say is goof, because i couldnt give less of rats ass about guns... i just hate them)

and besides people's mentallities can change in a second, it just takes a small depression, and the guy owning a firearm could do serious damage knowing he has a gun for can-shooting...

 

Drug Store Truck Drivin' Man
Roger McGuinn, Gram Parsons

CHORUS:
A E
He's a drug store truck drivin' man
E A
He's the head of the Ku Klux Klan
A D
When summer rolls around
D E A
He'll be lucky if he's not in town

A E
Well, he's got him a house on the hill
E D A
He plays country records till you've had your fill
A D
He's a fireman's friend he's an all night DJ
D E D A
But he sure does think different from the records he plays

CHORUS

Well, he don't like the young folks I know
He told me one night on his radio show
He's got him a medal he won in the War
It weighs five-hundred pounds and it sleeps on his floor

CHORUS

He's been like a father to me
He's the only DJ you can hear after three
I'm an all night musician in a rock and roll band
And why he don't like me I can't understand

CHORUS

He'll be lucky if he's not in town

(spoken this one's for you, Ralph.

 

Yes, if you can close the thread, please do(I can't find edit )

after reading post 17 with such shit eatin grins in that post as well as the one previous to this one..

id say closin this thread would be the best thing..

luv n lite..

 

Took the advice (bad at that) of Folks on the Internet (most prolly strangers)?

Kinda reminds me of Folks that don't change the batteries in their smoke detectors cuz 'they don't need them'.

GL... you'll prolly need it...

 

lol and why are guns needed as much as smoke detectors? ya sorry, when its 12AM i guess sometimes people have teh sudden urge to go shoot some cans

 

I don't like smoke detectors. Me and my sisters friend Shannon were in my room when I lit a joint and the smoke detector went off and freaked me off. Now the smoke detector in my room is batteryless and barely hanging...

 

man so do i.. my smoke detector is way too close to the oven and shit and it keeps ringing. we dont need smoke detectors ... if theres a fire, who cares... youll die thats all, or youre gonna have the time to get out of the house. anyways... i bet they make you deaf.
