some people become desensitised to an item. so its not about being a liar or dumbass like you state. handguns hold very little fear when you have stared down the barrel of an ak or had mortars flying over head. assault/sniper rifles on the other hand scare the crap out of me because they can get you from a great distance with little chance of fighting back if the marksman is a crack shot. the damage a rifle round does is far more dangerous too, they dont stop, they keep going tearing out organs and flesh while pulling in all manner of debris like a hoover as it passes through. if they catch a bone they dont slow down and mushroom like a handgun round, they ricoche around the chest cavity creating an agonising death from trauma and infection.
so no, handguns do not scare me and im not stupid (far from it) or a liar like you suggest. its just that in comparison a handgun round im far more likely to walk away from after some surgery unless the hit the head or major artery/organ of course.
plus most common criminals couldnt hit the side of a house standing 2ft from it in comparison. thats why some wannabe gangster with a handgun doesnt scare me, 90% of them couldnt hit squat without being at point blank range.
thanks for calling me a dumbass or liar (or both) though, its much appreciated after fighting for your country's oil rights and facing death daily. and its not about being superman, its about being less sensitive to a certain threat. i know a handgun can kill me, like i said im not stupid, but at the same time they dont scare me.
you dont have to be afraid of something to know its bad for your health.
