white wing thanks for joining
Hey white wing you say we could or should change our attitude toward guns and not use them for self defense but instead learn to lay them down and then dispose of them. What about those of us that really love to take them out to the range or in to the field and use them. They are, after all not just for self defense. I will never change my mind about shooting, I love doing it.
As far as criminals not using them during a crime if they can't be legally owned. That's just a pipe dream, criminals are criminals because they ignore laws and will kill you with whatever is available. Finally the 2nd amendment was written into the constitution by the founding fathers to protect a right that they believed already existed.....they didn't grant it to us they only sought to protect it.
I guess the only other thing I might add is that some people just don't understand why we like our guns.....the answer is we just do and we don't understand why others don't but we don't go around trying to convince them to change their minds about it or try to use crooked, behind the back schemes to make them come over to our side. We don't demonize people that don't own guns, we leave them alone. We however are constantly demonized and belittled by a national press that literally hates us for no good reason. Crimes are comitted by a very small segment of the population. If all the gun owners were criminals we would be tripping over bodies every where and our homes would be boarded up and look like fortresses.
