Now Mary, when I was very young, the meat that our family had was mostly venison, occasional bear, and, later, elk. That we got from my father hunting. Today, I still have my hunting guns, and, when I finally retire, if I move to a rural area, I will hunt once more. The meat is of far higher quality, and, if you live by the forest, less costly. I will never own a war weapon, and will only hunt when it make economic sense. That said, most that have guns have no need of them. And all too many should not have guns, because of mental deficiencies or lack of understanding their danger.You people are smarter than me, you know all the angles. I am realizing something here. How oblivious people can be to the obvious. It's rather disconcerting. If instead this was, say about illegal aliens, or gay marriage , you jolly chaps would be all over that. We all have our special issues that blind us to reality. This gun thing is one of them. I despise illegals, I revile gay marriage. But gun ownership is hands down the #1 issue, bar none. I can do without this "right" to have a firearm, I am totally good without a gun. Remind me again, why we NEED guns? Accept to protect ourselves from others WITH guns? That's a cyclical argument. If they didn't have guns, we wouldn't need them .
It's turned into a cult full of paramilitary fanatics who have lunatic fantasies of govt takeovers. It's these types that own the bulk of guns and who are the most at risk of perpetrating these attacks. These are probably the people who really should not have guns in the first place.
Just three percent of adults own half of America’s guns
