With all of the recent talk about banning certain styles of firearms, magazines, actions etc; I wanted to get a glimpse of the opinions about why gun ownership is important to you at all. I know there are many individual reason why one owns guns, and I just mean this in general terms. I also understand the sentiment behind ideas of "It's my right because it's my right. I don't need a reason". And that's completely true. I'm asking for your personal opinion of why you own guns, not why anyone should.
But I would also like to extend that to the realm of law. Does your opinion of why Americans can and should own guns extend to your personal political beliefs? Why, or why not? Are your opinions regarding what should or should not be banned connected to your personal reasons for gun ownership? I know that THR, especially recently, has people with varying opinions on the legality of certain guns. And I have seen more than a few members state that they might be willing to support enhanced restrictions on certain styles, magazines, actions, etc. If you're one of these members, I am particularly interested in what gun ownership as a whole means to you as just yourself, and as an American citizen.
Also, try to pick one, even if you're thinking "they're all exactly equally important. It is impossible to choose". Just try
EDIT: Self defense and defense against a tyrannical government were left separate intentionally and for a reason.
