>I wonder if owning a gun causes one to worry more about them? < My answer? "Yes". I think that if owning a gun does not make the owner more aware of safety and responsibility issues ... that person is best off getting rid of the gun! One of the beautiful things about Article 2 is that while it empowers (ugh, that modern fake word) people to own and operate guns, it does not obligate them to do so. Switzerland has an obligatory militia situation, and the amount of nitpicking, invasive bureaucratic control that that grants the state would turn your head. You have to keep this automatic rifle in your house, with sealed ammo pouches. And if one of your ammo pouches would happen to come unsealed, your ass is in an industrial-strength sling. I wonder if that would somehow run afoul of Article 3 in this country. We're freed from having to put up troops ... I wonder if being told to keep and maintain Armed Forces property would be the same dealie, writ small. I'm rambling on ... this million mom march circus is p***ing me off.
