Me And A Gun

[Wideguy]

I personally dont think that there is a place for guns on Repgeek.
Guns and all other artifacts of war and violence are no laughing matter. Throughout my most violent army service, I carried and used all manner of "guns" during and after the war in Lebanon.
I lost my best friend to "guns".
I am not proud of my knowledge on how to use a "gun".
Once out of service, the first thing I did was get rid of these ugly instruments of death even though many people here still carry guns as civilians..."just in case"..........
I hate "guns" and all they stand for. I educate my children for peace and love of the human being and when the time comes for their compulsory call up to service, I intend them to be out of this place
if we are still in a "war zone".
My family have been through those "passive" wars with Iraq, given two minutes to reach a bomb shelter and smother my children's faces with gas masks and wait to see if the missile flying overhead had our numbers on it. We sat cringed in so called protected rooms whilst the brave American men and women put an end to the Iraqi
regime of terror - and what a mistake that turned out to be.
God bless them.

Repgeek is a place of peace and the mediators should keep it so.
This is such an pleasant place to surf to, and such a great hobby to have. Even though I cant take an active part in buying reps due to stringent customs etc., here, I often visit to read the letters and look at the watches being offered / modded etc., and sit here open mouthed at the wonders that the experts here do to their watches (lume, straps etc.etc.etc.) and the watches being sold back and forth.

I really think that this is not a place for "me and a gun".
Yes, the world is changing but lets keep this haven of sanity eh ?

RG is a forum. If you don't like the Off-Topic section, you should refrain from visiting it. Posh and and others are free to write about controversial topics here - maybe not with impunity, but within reason. It's highly commendable that you educate your children for peace at all cost; I just hope for your sake that Hamas and Hezballah are doing the same with their children. I'm sure that if all of you in Israel just lay down your arms, everything would be hunky dory.

In the words of Woody Allen, "Excuse me, but I have a meeting back on Earth." Doesn't Israel have a particularly low rate of homicide by gun given the particularly high number of citizens that carry arms? I figure that every man and woman in Israel must serve for at least three years of compulsory service... so in essence, nearly everybody in the country is armed at one time or another.

This might actually put the Kaibosh on the premise of some of the anti-gun activists here. In fact, it probably supports what SFA is saying about American culture being the culprit in some way. I dunno... just thinking out loud...

That's got to be one of the fuzziest bits of logic I've seen in a long time. You could equally have said not eating pork contributed to low homicide rates.

There will never be peace in the middle east until Israel, Hamas, Hesbollah, et al, lay down their arms. Every single conflict of this nature shows that the shooting has to stop and the talking begin. The most recent example being Northern Ireland.

Thank you for this point. I've read every single post in here and I like what you're saying. I'm glad you don't kids to know what you knew.

I'm sorry you don't like the post's theme even if you may agree with the message somehwat. Um, there's a lot of guns on display around here which is why I hardly ever look at any eye candy posts or watch photo posts because I'm afraid I'm going to see a Panerai draped over some firearm with a bottle of cheap Scotch and cigars in the background. And since you never which posts are really going to contain guns, subconscious or overt misogyny or wild speculation, I look at very view posts. I've really learned my lesson.

To that end, I've given people musical hints as to what my posts may be about. If you have some basic music knowledge, mine are easy to avoid.

I should hope when you do look these post of watches and guns that you'll quickly admonish them as well. Fair is fair.
