Ok, let's set some things straight right off the bat. I am not a troll. I am not trying to stir the pot. I am not trying to raise legal or constitutional issues. I am a gun owner (just agreed to buy another one). I have been on here long enough to not be a newbie anymore. I am a disabled Vet, so yes I have been there and done that.
My question came to mind as I was sitting in front of my computer searching for up to date info on a gun I am buying. Just kind of struck me.
As gun owners, pro 2A, responsible adults, are we being selfish in our adamant defense of our right to keep and bear arms? It would seem that the rest of the civilized world wants to end small arms ownership, and if you believe the polls, the rest of the US wants the same thing. If indeed we are in the minority, are we just being selfish? I see this as a moral issue, not a political one, despite the fact that it has become a hot button for so many people these days.
Anyone care to respond?
