I only ask because it sounds as if you speak from the outside looking in. If ever you come to Houston, look me up and let's go spend an afternoon at the range. I believe I you will change your mind before you've finished the first mag.

So you think the feeling of shooting a weapon makes it OK to own one? I have fired an air rifle, hunting rabbits and birds. I have absolutely no doubt in my mind that I would ABSOFRICKENLUTELY LOVE firing a gun. LOVE with a capital EVERYTHING. Yet, I still feel that they can kill with the greatest of ease, weird huh?

I know I will fire a gun at a range, or hunting, whilst they are legal. I am going to do this. I don't think I should own a gun. I also think you should be allowed to hunt with a gun, or shoot at a range. I STILL don't think you should own one. In the UK you can go hunting with the weapons of an organization.

I am a fiery person, when somebody deserves it, I know I would lose it. When I lost it I would defend myself, very well. I also know that if I had a gun in my pocket (euphemism) I would use it. I don't want that to happen, so I don't/never will own a weapon. Most people believe they wouldn't lose it, and use their gun unnecessarily, this is something that can't be proven. Why take the risk?

I agree that we are diametrically opposed, and that's OK! The world would stop spinning without differing opinions.
I think I come across as an ass sometimes, and I don't mean to, I just feel strongly about the death of innocent people. Whether or not my views are right or wrong ... they are what I believe would work, just as you do yours.
