I'll just add my 2 cents here. I'm a law abiding citizen and I own guns. I don't see how my owning them has hurt anyone, so why shoud I not be alowed to own them. I have 2 children too. I'm not afraid of them playing with them, because they know better. They know what they can do and that they are not toys. They know the diffrence. My dad had guns when I was young. The first time I shot one was with my dad when I was 5. The problem is that people are not tought responsibility and safety. one of the guns I own is one of those "assult" rifles. It's nice to have a 30 round clip, you don't need to reload as often when at the range. As far as people spouting off at the mauth about the AK-47, that's bullshit. Concidering that it is illeagle to buy or sell a fully automatic weapon without a license and registered at your local sherifs office. Gun deaths should not include suicide because if they want to kill themselves, they are going to do it anyway. Yes they may choose the gun because it is so easy, but the point is that if they want to do it, they will. Common sence and resposibilty go along way. Too bad not many people use it any more.
Here's a bumper sticker saying for you Justin
"Ban guns, make the streets safe for a government takeover"
By they way to all the anti gunners out there. Germany and total gun control. I don't remember it turning out to good for the people in that county do you?
