Yeah - don't get me wrong, I enjoy owning and shooting guns and have
ZERO intentions of every putting a round into ANYONE, but at the same
time I carry with the intent of self defense.
BUT - I had a friend say something to the effect of "I don't like
guns - they were designed to kill - I'd rather there not be
any guns" and I honestly agreed with him! If it would prevent
people from hurting other people? I'd be all for it! But making
MY guns illegal while not removing ALL guns (bad guys, military,
our government, other governments) is not the answer. That just
creates a defenseless target...
