How many times have you shot a gun, are you a hunter, how many guns do you own. If you hate guns say why. And whats you favorite gun you own.

I only own an airgun.

But I've shot rifles, shotguns, and pistols.

Um, I've only used a pellet gun and a beebee gun. But my dad owns a rifle, and he rarely uses it, because he likes to bowhunt. So that's three guns and I don't hate any of them.

I own one gun. A pistol. I have shot pistols, shotguns and rifles several times. I don't hunt. just shoot recreationally. mostly I just take my pistol to the range or into the woods and shoot targets.

I have numerous rifles and handguns. My favorite is my .50 cal rifle, truly an awesome weapon. I'm a hunting guide so now I do more guiding then hunting. My all time favorite was the 20 mm vulcan in the F-105G I was a EWO in during Vietnam. Just hearing the thing being opened up was awesome.

Well check out this week The Onion, to find out, I think you'll enjoy the news. I just loved that show, which is why I picked the Col.'s name. It's the jazz baby. But seriously I do love my guns. Heck even my wife of 35 years loves to sling some lead. She's a dead eye she is.

have shot a few guns, only at ranges....besides, it's difficult to get a license in the uk, coz we don't like shooting people here... :)

I'll probably never get my hands on a gun, and I can't say I particularly need one. I'd love to have a go with an MP5 SD3, though, just so I can feel all ninja for a few moments.

So who needs a license? I got my first gun illegaly. BTW New Jersey has some of the strictest gun laws in the USA.

I had a BB gun, airsoft(m-16!), and blank gun(.45) when I was little. I've never owned a real gun, but I probably will. No pistols. Pistols are for wimps. I'll I've got now is a paintball gun for threatening the squirrels.

I haven’t shot a gun since I was 8. It was my dad’s 22 and so far the only firearm that I’ve fired. I wasn’t much good at it then and I doubt that my skills have improved any. Man do I miss going to the shooting range though.

I've fired 12ga shotguns back when I was in the UK and my dad used to shoot skeet. Now I'm in the US I'd like to get a handgun or rifle for target shooting.

I've shot a bb gun and a .22. I don't plan on touching anything of higher caliber.

I'm against guns that are any bigger. It just doesn't seem right to have a tool in your drawer that you can take out and kill someone within 6 seconds. Any other weapon requires a personal contact, which I think is more likely to stop crimes of passion. The argument against gun control is that Hitler and Stalin used it to prevent any uprisings. I personally don't feel the need to help the south rise again.
