Statistics on the dangers guns pose to the health of their owners and those who live with them suggest that I'd be safer selling my guns than reserving them for 'Tombstone II.'
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I would like to live long enough to see the day when people talk about which guns are the safest.
We have all read tragic stories in our local papers about gun accidents as a result of misuse. As lawmakers we can better promote safety and responsibility by encouraging gun owners to purchase gun safes to store firearms and keep them from falling into the wrong hands.
I have one of the original 'Ghostbusters' guns in my house.
You can pass all the gun legislation you want. None of it will make me feel any more or less safe than I do right at this moment.
Why would anybody not own a gun?
I'm a firm believer in the Second Amendment and the Bill of Rights. I don't think you should infringe on the type of weapon somebody should buy or the number of rounds in a high-capacity magazine.
If you make a gun, you are either going to sell it or you are going to use it. And if you're going to sell it, someone else is going to use it.
Clearly, we are courting tragedy by turning a blind eye to marketing gimmicks plainly intended to turn children into gun enthusiasts before they are even old enough to buy a firearm of their own.
I would like to have my gun for protection.
Unless they're a fugitive or a felon, or adjudicated mentally ill, we're not against them buying guns at all.
