Default Buying Firearms Poll

I figure at week's end I'll start a poll...about why we buy firearms. "Why", as in for self defense, or investment, or cool factor. And probably other reasons. So, what other reasons for buying....pistols, this time....would you like to see in the first poll?

Political Correctness is a doctrine, recently fostered by a delusional, illogical minority and promoted by a sick mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a piece of shit by the clean end!

Because Guns are a Good Investment. And they can Save Lives!
And Target shooting with them is Down Right Fun!
Last but not least, It's The American Thing to do!
