Owning a gun is as traditionally American as apple pie, the flag and racism. Due to fear mongering, a false sense of machismo and a dangerously overactive NRA, the proliferation of guns in our society has reached ridiculous proportions. We can't seem to break our addiction to them. But like most other disasters and foolish behaviors typical to the American culture, you are called a commie or a sissy if you don't buy into them. Here a few suggestions that may help you reach a state of mind where you feel guns are unnecessary in your life.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

  • Self-assurance
  • A peaceful nature
  • A sensible mind
Step1
Hunting is an obsolete and cruel endeavor nowadays. Stop playing Rambo and get your meat at the supermarket like everybody else. If you feel the need to hunt, use a knife. Then it becomes sport.
Step2
Statistics show that you are anywhere between 40 and 50 times more likely to be injured by a handgun if you keep one in your home.
Step3
The news is constantly filled with images of crime and victimization. These are inflammatory tactics. Peacefulness and a good night's sleep does not make for interesting news.
Step4
Violent behavior and a violent nature will severely increase your chances of dying a violent death.
Step5
Living your life in fear is unhealthy. The false security of having a gun feeds that fear.
Step6
Guns are ridiculously dangerous. Particularly if children are around them.
Step7
Gun culture breeds a violent culture.
Step8
There are plenty of simulated gun experiences available to quench one's thirst for shooting.
