I’m going to start this post, by first saying that all of Hi-Cap's blogs are going to be extremely biased. Yes Biased.
The reason for this is simple. All gun blogs are biased. They are biased because they have to be.
No it isn’t because the bloggers themselves are biased [though this is known to happen in any blogging sphere. It is not because we are pandering to a particular industry, [yet]. It is not because we are egoistical, [though certainly we are]. It is because of the guns themselves.
Yes I do mean any gun. Guns unlike anything else on the planet that is not alive have personalities. Those personalities manifest themselves in the owners of those guns slightly warping the opinion of the owner.
Yes even the most un-biased gun owner [if such a thing exists] is constantly under assault by the personality of their guns. Yes some guns even assault the very psyche of their owner.
This is not to say strong guys like strong guns, or sleek women like sleek guns, oh no, it goes so much deeper than that.
Your opinion on your gun reflects how you feel in your very soul. It is a self expression that goes deeper than any gun fanatic cares to admit.
The owners themselves may find qualities they like in guns they don’t have themselves. Some owners may look like something out of the night of the living dead and own only guns that are pimpy and flashy.
Some owners may be as hot as Sarah Palin in a thong skinning a timber wolf in zero degree weather, and pick only guns that are big mean and ugly.
Then again some owners pick guns exclusively to their personalities. Big mean guy, big mean gun. Nice gentle soul, Gentle 22.
The problem again is that all of us are biased to a particular group of guns. Be they bolt action, Semi Auto, DAO, it just doesn’t matter. We are particular and biased and in some cases downright mean about it.
How dare a gun shop try to sell you a life long ak47 man a junky little bolt action 17hmr. Why you have half a mind to show him the difference the old fashion way. A 7.62x39 to the freakin face.
On the other hand how dare he try to sell you, who have no use for a black gun an ak47. Why, you have half a mind to show him just how quick your 17hmr with your way to overpriced high powered scope can take him out at 300 yards.
The point is whether you will admit it or not, YOU ARE BIASED. So am I, but DAMMIT AT LEAST I'M NOT IN DENIAL!
Also let’s never forget, nobody is a true gun fan unless they own at least one gun they hate to death. They never shoot it, they never carry it, and it just sits there. Think about that for a minute and tell me it’s not all in your head!
We are all BIASED! So don’t write us with little pussy comments like “Your opinion is not objective”. I can promise you right now it won’t be.
