The psychology of the passive aggressive gun owner..

[EFsDad]

"It's not so fun when the rabbit has the gun, is it?"

Wait, now I am confused, why is the rabbit mad?

Why can't I ask 3 questions?

Is the OP the rabbit?

Mauser Mike is missed!

I'm the rabbit. The rabbit is us. We are the rabbit. The gun is the armchair psych analysis. I pulled it away from the OP and am pointing at him.

Damn, did you guys fail English class?

Nobody got my Billy Bob picture reference either. I'm off today.

Really dude, R U SRS? I'll answer to be helpful beacasue I'm such a friendly cat, but so help if you're being a smartass..

I wasn't calling you Jimmy. That was an example of what the OP is doing. He can't answer his own three questions or come up with any support for his claim, so he wants us to do it for him. We are all Jimmy, and the OP is the adult that doesn't know the answer.

To the OP:

"It's not so fun when the rabbit has the gun, is it?"

Wasn't being a smartass (been accused of being a dumb*** a time or two though). I was thinking that's where you were going with it but I wasn't sure. If you look in the dictionary for gullable (spelling), my pic is right next to it. Thanks for bein cool about it though!

To get back on track:

Mr. OP,

Are you basing this claim on members of gun-related internet forums, or people you have dealt with in real life?

Because everyone is angry on the internet. Some of us just smile when we type it. OSA is the most tame internet forum I've ever seen. A good many hobby forums would be telling your noob ass to STFU for posting this thread.

So, real life or internet? Give us some examples.

Thanks for being the first to actually address the topic instead of mindlessly flinging poo like a zoo primate. My experience is based on dealing with aggressive people who happen to be gun owners. A high percentage of "angry at life" people I meet just so happen to be gun owners. I actually use the gun reference to turn their anger into talking about their favorite weapon. A few minutes pass and they realize we have something in common, the tension recedes. I merely was curious if others found a correlation between agressive behavior and guns.

My fuse is relit and I am angry at you all!

OP does have a little bit of a point. Go to any gun show. The Billy Bad Asses are everywhere.

Sounds to me like you might just be hanging around the wrong crowd then. 90% of the responsible gun owners I know have a very mild temper. Just because someone owns a gun does not make them a "gun person". There are plenty of people out there who think "I have a gun, I'm a bad***", and they are the ones who give people like yourself a false representation of what a true "gun owner" is.

I addressed the topic back on the first page but you chose to ignore my question, but I will ask again. Where are you running into these aggressive people that you have to calm down?

You make it sound like you're Jane Goodall going to live with the chimps.

mindlessly flinging poo like a zoo primate.

This sums up my professional and personal life succinctly.
