I've established a pretty liberal image on this board - but I've got a safe full 'o guns myself. Mainly guns, no handguns - the odd rifle or six. Belgian Brownings, LC Smiths, 308 Norma mags - light kinda stuff.

Used to do a lot of upland hunting but have gotten away from it since my Brittany went to doggy heaven. No fun in bird hunting without a good partner and a great dog.

There is something compelling and attractive about guns in almost the same way as cars. I don't generally get caught up in the negative images they represent like Motion observes, but I do not adhere to the "guns don't kill people..." school of thought.

Think about this sorta general info Motion:

Canada has like 1% of the gun related murder rate of the US - yet we have around the same number of guns per capita as the US. Of course hand guns vs. long guns is probably a huge variable.
