vinrock, are you so cowardly that you would not consider living somewhere where you could not own a gun?
Someone was also saying that most shootings occur among criminals, does that mean that you believe they deserve to die because they have fallen into a criminal lifestyle?

Vinrock, how can you bring trust into it? Surely the majority reason for Gun ownership in the US is for protection. That implies a distinct lack of trust in the Police, neighbours or anyone really. Perhaps I do count on Big Brother to watch over me. But thats what they are there for I pay taxes, I vote and deserve the protection of my great nation. You say you choose to own a firearm without having to explain your reasons to anyone, but dont forget this is deadly weapon and do you really think everyone should be able to. Surely you agree there are disturbed individuals on this planet, they may not have been convicted of a crime, so therefore like you they are free to buy whatever firearm they wish. After all you cannot have these rights for some and not for others. You may wish to risk unsafe individuals owning firearms so that you can feel free and like a "big boy" but personally i would like to do all i can to limit such relaxed attitudes and seemingly pointless ownership. I believe it is in the constitution that you have the right to bare arms. So presumably this means you are allowed by law to own nuclear weapons among other things? Do you also believe that everyone should be allowed to own one, without explanation or stringent restrictions simply because
it is there right?
Feel free to argue back, i'm sure you will. But unless you have anything original to say dont anticipate changing my views.
