I am too paranoid, and piss too many bad guys off in the course of an average day for me not to have easy access to a gun. I agree though that if you have one you should shoot it periodically. Ammunition cost a ton, unfortunately, and is hard to find now.

I would love to see the right to bare arms totally removed from the constitution but realistically that probably won't happen anytime soon or ever. My solution is that gun ownership should be determined by counties or smaller geographic areas. Meaning that if you live in the country with wild animals running around your property you could own a gun. People who live in highly populated urban areas should not be able to own guns. All this of course comes with stricter background checks, maybe mandatory training period, assault weapon bans etc.

Fortunately, we have something called the Constitution to protect us from crazies like you.

The majority of people who own firearms are responsible. Who are you to tell me that I can't protect myself and my property from a would-be aggressor?

I don't own a firearm, but it's likely I will in the future after a boatload of proper training. And I can promise you it will be kept in an easy-to-access safe right by my bed.

It's time to shut Ziplock and Glad down

Whenever the pro-gun people use this 'argument', it just makes you look like a complete idiot.
