"not all of us gun owners do drive by shooting ya know"
That is a straw man... it has no place as a serious comment.


Dan... re-read my post carefully. You are reading between the lines or ignoring the carefully worded gist of hat I say about 'responsible' gun owners.

As of today, I WOULD trust you...or gnu...or Mick...etc. and would have no problems IF you and the others were the only types who could get guns!!!
The problem is.... the way things are set up, YOUR rights allow all the dangerous & incompetent folk to do almost anything they wish! Guns are not LIKE cars.. or toaster ovens, which CAN be dangerous if mis-used. Guns in modern society are largely toys! After hunting...which needs only certain types of long guns, they are needed only by law enforcement or military...and a 'few' persons who have special needs.

Other countries both laugh at our laws and attitudes ...and complain because illegal guns in their countries often come from the US!
