[QUOTE="brett636, post: 1118307, member: 249"] Since you asked, I will provide you with the right answer to your question although I don't think you will be able to accept it. Responsible firearm ownership is what the individual firearm owner deems responsible. You see, with freedom and rights comes responsibility, and that responsibility falls directly on the individual. It is neither the governments place nor scope to tell every person who owns a firearm what is responsible and what isn't. A firearm owner who doesn't live with mentally unstable people or children shouldn't have to worry about being in trouble with the government if his guns aren't locked up in the government approved manner. The number of scenarios of firearm ownership makes it impossible for any group of politicians or law makers to write into law what is acceptable ownership practices and what isn't. You can't make people safer by making law abiding people criminals, you can only punish those who would use guns for criminal purposes and that is where the focus should be. You come on here and tell us that an assault weapons ban, magazine capacity limits, and universal background checks will make us safer, and nothing could be further from the truth. What makes us safer is more good, law abiding people having access to firearms than those who aren't. [/QUOTE]
