Gun control? Don't be ridiculous. Since I've been 22 years old, I haven't NOT owned a gun. When I was married, we had a small arsenal in the house.
If someone is interested in guns, gun history, and likes to collect them for their value, fine. I don't agree with what I perceive to be fear-mongering. People with an irrational fear government officials are going to go knocking on the doors of over 300 million people and tell them to hand them over.
Protecting yourself is fine. I've treated many gunshot wounds in the last 16 years. Everything from a .22, to shotgun blasts, to .30-06. If you've never seen one, you would be absolutely shocked at what a firearm can do to someone, when it lands in the wrong hands.
Based on your statement that you owned " a small arsenal," I'll do my best to stay on your good side....
...and, clearly, you have more expertise with guns, as I reside in the paradigmatic 'nanny state,' so to speak....
But all of that avoids the questions that I asked.
I'm going to summarize the information as follows: you have experience with guns, but resist the idea that all other citizens are entitled to the same right.
Further, that if they were give said right (to have and/or carrry) the streets would approximate a wild west venue....
...nor have you nor will you read Lott's data.
Right?
