I'm actually a gun owner. But I keep all of mine in a gun safe that is bolted to the studs. I have 1 revolver, 4 semi-automatics. 2 long guns. Actually, I'm probably going to sell the whole bunch. Maybe I'll keep my target .22, my .357 revolver and Granddad's .30-06. People that want unlimited possession of the populace DON'T seem to want that with cars. Ah, but there is no 2nd Amendment for car ownership. So, people who could never drive, can own a gun. And long-gone would have them carrying it with them in public, which historically has not been an interpretation of the 2nd Amendment. Homeless guy doesn't like the quarter you gave him. He expected a buck. Blam. Trigger happy long-gone sees me as I try to assist elderly neighbor. Blam. Guy has fight with wife. He enters the freeway in my blind spot and thinks I cut him off. Blam. Gangs on subway can now legally be packing iron at 2am. I'm coming home late from a night job. Blam. Half blind WWII vet with Alzheimers sees me coming to the door. Thinks I'm the Japanese interrogator from his prison camp. Blam. Too foolish for words.
