That was a great quote.
I don't choose to have guns. Why? Because I didn't grow up going hunting or to the range with my dad. Had I grown up that way, it'd be a different story.
I feel like anything is dangerous without the proper training. So be a responsible person, and earn your guns.
When it comes to firearms, I am against people who either have guns that are not safely stored (so inexperienced idiots can get ahold of them) or when a person owns an AR-15 and claims its for self defense.
Also, you can argue all day that your pistol is for self-defense, but there are still clowns that just have a weapon because it feels cool and manly. There will always be a small group of people in ANYTHING that will choose the wrong road, and I don't know what we can do about them. Does anyone? Will there ever be a classroom without a troublemaker? Will there ever be a football team without a dog-fighting gambler?
I guess my humble conclusion is different strokes, different folks, don't kill.
That's just about my feelings on the subject too. I don't feel i can really comment, coming from UK where guns arent quite so easy to come by, but they are becoming more wide-spread, and I agree with the point that if they were made illegal then only criminals would have them, and that would be far worse a scenario.
Thanks Tow and Nonick for the advice. Home defense.
