This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Here's a controversial one: Target shooting.
It used to be a skill you honed, going to the range to become better every time. Participate in competitions, meet people. It was a great hobby.
And then the idiots who unironically wear Punisher logos ruined it.
For a moment I thought you meant shooting up a Target store.
That isn't what it means? ... Shit, I should clean this mess up.
Welcome to "gun people who hate gun people"
How will that end ?
Same, man. I like it, from the meditation-like state when you take it serious to the gun goes bang part when you are just messing around. But some of the people, man... Where do I start.
I think I should go again regardless, if everyone with wane opinions leaves, that would be surrendering.
I feel sorry for you - I live in one of those socialist hellhole countries where owning a gun requires annual testing that you can actually hit a target (50/100 on a B8 target for beginners, not exactly tough) and pass a psych test. Going to the range is lovely here, and competitions are usually paired with a nice meal afterwards for people to socialise.
I watch US videos, and most of them just seem insane. One notable exception is the JaredAF channel, that guy can really properly target shoot.
Switzerlahd? When I lived in Denmark the laws were about that tough, though still surprisingly simple after I gained citizenship.
I used to enjoy going to the range. Apparently the one I frequented in my youth was all army guard/reserves and prior service, because when I moved and sought out a new place it was a fucking clown show. Simple shit like 'keep your weapon pointed up and downrange' is too fucking hard for these gravy seal shitbags.
