My wife's logic...

So... The kids want Airsoft guns for Christmas... She doesn't think it's a good idea because they could hurt each other. I'm on the fence. The things are COOL! but the neighbors would totally appreciate the kids running amok through the neighborhood with M-4s and GC36 assault Airsoft rifles.

So. It's a NO for Airsoft guns.



Meanwhile, she just got the kids an 18lb pull, compound bow. It can shoot a metal tipped, fiberglass arrow over 100 ft.

DAFUQ?!?!?


She's returning it tomorrow. I had to explain that the Airsoft pellets don't break skin too much. Arrows can impale small animals and other children.

Women are retarded. But your wife seems cool for buying the bow.

There was a show on tonight comparing the Japanese Yumi bow to the longbow. The Yumi is a lot more powerful than the longbow per their scientific analysis.

Damn Asians.

Holy hell.....I literally just had this exact same conversation with a female like ten minutes ago.



I was told she couldn't buy the air-soft "zombie" package from Wal-Mart.....for god knows what California regulatory reason.

But that her backup gift was a bow and arrows set.

I laughed and congratulated her though.

It aint my kids....

Your wife is having Hunger Game Fantasies, you need to start calling her Katniss and fighting your neighbors to the death and you'll be doing it like the old days.

Arrows are dangerous

Long time ago I was working like 2.5 jobs while my ex fiance was in nursing school. I loved to play In-Line Hockey on my day off. The gear is expensive and wheels and the blades on the sticks go fast. I wanted to buy 1 blade for 15.99 and my ex fiance said we could not afford it. 2 days later i walk in and this cunt was sitting there with her 2 kids eating sushi which she paid 30 dollars for. The younger son did not even eat half of the shitz.

I knew it was over at that point.

I actually like the Airsoft guns... some of these things are REALLY cool.

I spec'd out a rifle with my kid, an M4 and an HK G36C that takes the M-4 magazines. Electric, both with the Picatinney rails all over the damned place.

About $200/rifle.

I rails were important because I would be able to stick a laser and/or tactical flashlight on the guns for my partially blind kid.

... but how responsible is that... y'know... as a parent?


The only thing stopping me is the knowledge that the neighbors probably wouldn't be too happy... and I like my neighbors... really, I do.

30 dollars for 3 people to eat at one sitting? For 30 dollars back in 2000, I could get 4-5 days worth of food for 3 people.

You know what the schism in the logic is...

For my wife. Guns are bad and can hurt people. Even Airsoft.

BUT

Bows and arrows are safer.



My caveat with the Airsoft was: They have no place to play with them without attracting attention. Or neighbors calling cops or something.
Not even that my one kid is legally blind and wants to run around with it.
Fuck! In Jersey, no less.

Hers? Arrows aren't "guns" therefore safer.
DAFUQ?

They have a nerf bow and arrow set.. Wish I could find it. I saw it when I was Black Friday shopping. It was obviously nerf so I don't think it could be mistaken for real. Might be an option...

Yep, and as much as I think the Airsoft guns are cool...

People running around with anything that remotely resembles an assault rifle, in a suburban area with jumpy neighbors, in Jersey, is a recipe for somebody getting shot by the cops.

I would treat those things just like real firearms. They'd always be locked up, and only allowed to be used at some kind of open range, paintball/Airsoft park, etc.

I'm not a fan of airsoft because many of the guns look real and it breeds complacency with weapons. My wife bought them for my kids and myself last year for christmas. I hate those damn pellets all over everything. Plus kids are stupid and I've seen them shoot cars, pets and its not uncommon for them to take off any protective eyewear they may have on. Mine is an all metal 1911 pistol. Aside from the orange tip it looks real and weights nearly as much as my Ruger P89. I can fire 30 rounds out of it in no time. When I've played with the kids in the neighborhood they tend to just run away from me because I don't miss and that gun hurts like hell when shot with it.
One of my neighbors kids accidentally shot his LCD TV with his airsoft. yeah, it was toast.

Compound bow......shoot something substantial with it before you return it so she gets the concept.

I bet you felt like a total dick afterwords.

We all know that kids hate sushi. They were just trying to hide your gift before your bday.

total fucking draconian over reaction might just be the only thing that Americans are still #1 at.

the boys are 15 and 12

Heh gotcha.

Want some cross culture? My 9 year old nephew has a Ruger 10/22 and a youth .410 that he hunts with. Not saying I agree with it but I did buy him, my other nephew (10), and niece (11) full auto air soft guns for xmas last year. Things were legit. They can play as long as they wear facemasks. Usually no one is allowed to even point a fake gun at anyone else around my parents house, especially with/around kids.
Tell her it will help them understand responsibility. First time they break the oath the guns are broken, not taken away.

Where are you? I'm in New Jersey.

Friggin' Jersey doesn't allow the cops to carry stun guns... too dangerous.
So, if the cops need to subdue you because you're drunk... they shoot to kill.

First of all, the title of this thread should have told you that something was amiss since we all know females and logic are like oil and water.

/me runs

Why you running? Be a man! Stand your ground you wuss
