Doggone right!

Today, my boyfriend went out and bought a pistol. When I asked him in horror why he did such a thing, he said, "It's my God-given right as a US citizen!" We're not even American, we immigrated from the UK, and we were both atheists, or so I thought. FML

It's definitely not a God-given right, since out Constitution was written by humans. I know lots of atheist & left-wing people who own guns, though. They just keep quiet about it and don't walk around with guns like they are penile extensions.

If I emigrated to the US and got accepted, the first thing I'd do is go buy a gun. Just because I could. And because I was in the US, but mostly because I could. It's not a boy thing either, I'm of the middle aged female persuasion and would be giggling as I booked myself the first opportunity to fire a Minigun that I could find with a go on a flamethrower for afters. When in Rome...

If he was joking, it’s mildly funny. If he’s serious, leave his ass.

With all of the gun nuts here, it's your right to NOT have a gun that is under threat!

at least he knows it's his responsibility to protect himself and you from danger and not the police

Just let him buy it and then go to a shooting range with him and ask if you can fire off a few rounds. You will understand, trust me. Sometimes we just have to let the primal part of ourselves out a bit.

Well, he's indoctrinated now. Dump him and go back to the UK, where they have sensible gun laws.
