Tell her she is right and you won't buy it. Then buy it anyway. Don't tell her.
How is this hard? |

Stop being a millennial and expecting a handout from mommy when she dies.
Make your own fucking money and do what you want with it. If she dies and leaves you stuff, great. If not, least you lived your life with some self respect. |

O.P. should NOT own any firearms. Proper use of tools requires respect, situational awareness and confidence in their ability to learn the craft. He ain't there yet if he is engaged in a manipulation based rewards relationship with his his surviving parent. I'm sure he is ready to lead, and direct a profitable business too...in time. Now? Not so much, based off his (troll?) posts.

I know a guy in a similar position to yourself, he's 52 years old and is still a manbaby. His mother is still alive and he's never thought of himself as a grown man no matter what he pretends to everyone else. He has everything he wants except self respect. |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
Not going to read all the posts but I saw enough to see some are riding you, OP. I won't. Everyone wants good relations within their family, and as we grow older we begin to recognize the value and wisdom our parents and other folks can offer from life's experiences. But there is a lesson here. 1) Recognize your mom is using money to influence. She exhibits poor character - thinks money buys about everything - including people. Shame on her. 2) Learn not to discuss everything with parents. As you mature, sometimes we just need to make our own decisions, particularly if it involves a sensitive area. Here, you chose poorly. Be prepared for questions if you think topics will come up that will challenge you (from anyone). Just because people ask questions, doesn't obligate you to answer them, but be prepared with how you will respond. You won't always know what might be said or asked, simply remember you're not obligated to answer. It's your opinion, your business. Every once in awhile you come across a nugget of true insight here in GD. What is your price for self respect OP? Also, I would tell my mom this exact line of reasoning. |

Who gives a fuck.
I walked away from a few thousand and a bunch of sunken boat stuff that has been in the family for over a century. I couldn't handle grandpa's refusal to see my kids or act like a respectable grandpa after grandma died. That's the short story. Don't bet on the fucking farm. |

Our mothers are cut from the same cloth however she isn't anti gun and actually likes them. But she uses money to control all her children. I wish it wasn't this way but its something she learned from her parents. I haven't taken a penny from her since i graduated college but it's tough as I would like to be part of the business and they just are afraid to lose control.
The main thing I want to be part of is our ranch and farm and be able to raise my child there as I was raised by my grandfather. My mother and wife got into it not long ago and she called my wife a bitch simply because my wife doesn't fucking care and she can't be controlled by my mother. I did speak to my mother for 6 months after that. She never tried to contact me in that time either. I feel for you op and can simply say that it is your life and you don't have to share everything with her. |

When dealing with women you must stand up for yourself. She'll either gain respect for you, or leave. Either way, you end up in a better place. Moms are no exception to this.
Furthermore, Let her keep whatever "fortune" she has. Go make your own god damn money. A shocker I know, but some people actually are expected to stand on their own. |

Her fear is illogical. Knives were originally made to KILL and SLICE meat. Not cut up onions. Has she killed anything with her knives? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shooting_sport#Pistol Note the ACTION SHOOTING under the shot guns sports has more handgun sports. |

Stop giving a damn about being disowned. If someone wants to disown you, let them. The first time someone said they may disown me, I'd say okay, hang up, and never call them again. If they want to eat crow and call me in a few months to apologize, then that's fine. If they just want to continue on with their crap, hang up and give it more time.
Cut the umbilical cord, buy the gun, and never mention it. It's not her business. |

Ask your mom how she would feel if you were robbed and murdered because you couldn't protect yourself. Do you really want to work for a company that doesn't value the lives of its family, let alone employees? Sounds like mama has no clue about what it means to be a responsible person when it comes to survival in the cement jungle. |

Tell her if she thinks an inanimate object will turn you into a killer, then she doesn't know the child she raised. That should make you feel betrayed by her or angry at her, and justly so. I'd suggest telling her that if she views you like that then YOU don't want to have anything to do with her. It won't take long, and she will reevaluate her position. |

Yes, but im stuck between respecting my mother/elders and knowing whats best for myself. Respecting your elders would be #1 not dismissing their advice out-of-hand, but giving it solid consideration and then decide what to do based on your life an your values, which in theory have been moulded by them. #2 not bringing the gun into her home #3 tactfully avoiding the subject or saying you agree to disagree rather than getting into arguments |

Sorry to hear that. Your mother is a manipulative bitch. Not meaning to get mean but it's the truth.

I remember my mom didn't want me to buy my first gun either. But I didn't care what she thought and I bought it anyway. It never crossed my mind that I had to listen to what my mother thought about subjects about which she knew nothing. I believe that was when I was 11 years old.
