[Stingy Jack]

Well, this is a dificult topic for me (more difficult than the abortion one). I am not anti-gun. I do believe that invidiuals should be able to own a firearm, for protection. But, I do think that some guns are a little over-the-top. It is one thing to say that you own a handgun to protect your home and family, and quite another to say that you own an arsenal of automatic firearms stocked in your basement for the day when "the commies attack." I don't understand these types of people. But, I would never say that decent citizens cannot own these weapons, as long as they are responsible enough to keep them securely locked and inaccessible.

But, HappyCamper says that he is against ANY and ALL forms of gun control. With this statement, he has basically said that a violent criminal with a long history of "assault with a deadly weapon charges" (among other things) should be able to freely and easily purchase any of gun of his choice any time he chooses. Or, guns should be allowed to be sold out of ice cream trucks to children of all ages. This, I'm sorry to say, is complete bullshit. I agree with SOME form of gun control. I mean, these are deadly weapons we are talking about. We need to be able to control who buys them and how easily they can get them.
