I've been raised with guns, had unrestricted access to .22s and fields and farms starting at age 10. The military wasn't as instructive as it might have been, mostly what they did. And my anti-gun stance now is modified.
I think a person should be allowed A handgun and full-sized rifles in his own home and on his own property. I believe a person should be allowed a handgun and rifles in their own car, on licensed shooting ranges and while hunting.
That's it. No handguns on their person off their property, no rifles except on their way a legitimate place to use them.
No full-auto. No magazine over 8 rounds.
Anyone caught with a weapon off of their own property would immediately go to prison for 1 month. Second violation, 3 months, third 6 months. No exceptions.
NRA membership would be treated as the equivalent of KKK membership, which it resembles.
Maybe the liberals who own and know about firearms are aware of their dangers the way medical professionals are aware of the dangers of narcotics. Just because someone wants them doesn't mean they should have them.
And the problem isn't most people. The problem is the people who most want them, the people who don't perceive themselves as effective or competent if they aren't armed. Those are the scary folks. And the folks who want assault rifles, large magazines, and so on. They are just plain weak, inadequate, hollow, pathetic cretins.

Interesting observation. Got me thinking.
