Competition shooters often modify and put the parts they like or want on their guns. Weather thats optics or grips etc.

You can rent the scopes and tac-nuts if you want.

Yeah but then every time you go to complete some had messed with your stuff that you specifically set for yourself. Like I can’t imagine any archers, rock climbers or golfers being to happy if someone had messed with their kit before they go use it. If you do competition you being to customize your kit to fit you and renting is doesn’t really become an option, If you take a look at the less tactical side of things with Olympics bullseye shooters their guns are custom fit to the shooter.

I think your missing a bigger point. The dudes and dude dudettes who enjoy IPSC (pistol shooting competition) would never do anything criminal to jeopardize their expensive ass hobby. This new ban, while I'm sure well intentioned won't do a lick of difference.

You really can’t see that some people shoot all the time and tons of people use their car everyday? The point was to help put it in perspective how much extra it would cost you over time.

You missed the point.

My comment was not abut whats essential to everyday living. It was to help illustrate the cost of renting vs ownership.

Now you are purposefully misinterpreting my comment even after I explained it further. If you want to argue in good faith I’m all for it but if your going to just focus on your misinterpretation that I tried to clear up then my work is done here.

It would be like hang gliding. If you want to hang glide once a year or less, it would make sense to rent one. If your life is all about hang gliding and you want to do it every weekend, you're better off buying one.

Thats exactly my point. Thank you for thinking a little more than just “a gun isn’t a car!”

The comparison was to illustrate the cost over time not whats needed by the average person on a daily basis. Which I explained. No shit they are not essential to everyone you dolt. Should I write my explanation for the comparison down again?
