Spencer,
You might want to preface your eagerness to buy a firearm with why you are tired of waiting. People that are eager to buy a gun make me nervous
And I think THIS GUY in particular should make you nervous. He's twenty years old and is chomping at the bit to get a gun, like waiting until he's twenty one is the end of the world. Then there's his user name, Warrior and the picture................uh, I'm not a psychiatrist but this guy makes ME nervous too!
Obviously you're not a psychiatrist... because your fear is completely unfounded.
I normally ignore trolls, but I just gotta jump on this one.
First, "chomping at the bit" to own a handgun is not in any way an indication that he will be an irresponsible gun owner. And yes, waiting until he's 21
could be the end of the world, at least for him. The right to self defense exists as much at 18 as it does at 21. It's unfortunate that the law doesn't protect that right yet - expect this to change in the near future, as we continue to challenge stupid laws.
Next, his user name and picture don't indicate he would be an irresponsible gun owner either. I just don't see how they would in any way...
I once read a paper by a real psychiatrist, and he said some interesting things about people with irrational fears of guns/gunowners. Essentially, it comes down to sexual disfunction and/or projection of one's mental illnesses onto the targeted gun/gunowner. In sum, if you irrationally fear firearms, it's usually a sign of limp dick; if you irrationally fear gunowners, it's a sign that you actually fear what
you would do with a gun, and are projecting those violent tendancies onto the gunowner.
You may want to seek professional help, as you are exhibiting irrational fears.
