[QUOTE="soberups, post: 1065099, member: 14668"] I know that [I]you[/I] arent terrified of guns. That comment was directed at another poster. I agree with you 100% that there are a lot of crazy people who...in a perfect world...should not even be allowed to own guns. There are also a lot of people who shouldnt be allowed to drive cars. Or drink alcohol. Or procreate, or vote, or whatever. But we live in a (relatively) free society that, for the most part, allows people to do stupid things and make stupid mistakes because that is what freedom is all about. The alternative...a nanny-state government that tries to control every personal decision in our lives...is by far the greater evil. As far as gun go....the sad fact is that there are enough crazy/violent/criminal people out there who [I]already do[/I] have guns that I want to at least be able to level the playing field by having my[I] own[/I] gun if I should ever be so unfortunate as to encounter one of them. We are not safer as a society by mandating that criminals be given a legal monopoly on the use of lethal force. [/QUOTE]
