why are people so stupid?

why do people come on here and ask if you can shoot live rounds in a bb gun or if air guns are good for self defense? oh and my personal favorite which .22lr ammo should i buy? who cares if stingers and mini mags work for some guy, try some of the cheap ones first. every .22 is finicky but why pay 6 dollars for 50 stingers when maybe the bulk packs cycle fine.

    Well, Nick, a lot of questions asked are just ignorance because there are a lot of young people just pumping the older guys for info. I remember in the Marine Corps that most every instructor would say ( after asking if there were any questions....... and after a little silence)....the only stupid question is the one you don`t ask. Also, he would add, after answering, If you ask the same one tomorrow, then it becomes stupid.

  • Super61 is right. I personally like throwing in a little esoteric humor for us responsible gun owners to enjoy in light of the barrage of painfully idiotic questions. I give all the regulars on here kudos for putting up with it, and still you guys/girls bother to courteously point people in the right direction when they have a legitimate concern.

    Yes it's true, society is becoming ridiculously urbanized. I blame video games primarily. The level of ridiculousness of the misconceptions kids have about firearms and the military today, even though they're just kids, leaves me speechless. And it's all because they absolutely have to play the newest Call of Duty game and go disarm a Russian nuclear missile base single handed. But hey, in today's super high tech, high speed world nobody would buy a video game in which you play as a U.S. Army Ranger running a security checkpoint or questioning Afghan locals about a possible hidden weapons cache would they.

    Variety is the spice of life. If we all sat on the same level of intellect the world would be rather dull.

    Stupid questions do give the opportunity to give an answer with a little humour.

    Those people are very in-mature mentally & work VERY HARD showing it.

    Like the others said, they must be obama supporters ( my view point, is BRAIN dead Obama supporters )

    OOPS, the brain dead, doesn't apply to only the people that ask dumb questions in this forum.

    it applies to a lot of voters too
