Moneyguy, while you may dislike the fervor with which gunowners defend their rights, I dislike the complacency with which some people defend their rights - like consenting to an otherwise unjustified police search, incriminating one's self by talking too much, etc. Aside from the first two amendments in the Bill of Rights, the rest are somewhat abstract. In 35 yrs. I have not yet had the chance to deny the police a search of my car or home. I haven't needed a trial by jury and I haven't had to plead the 5th. I haven't had to worry about British troops taking over my house. But I read newspapers and books and touch guns every single day. I enjoy it a lot. And I must be the luckiest guy in the world since I own so many bog bad guns and so much hollowpoint ammo, yet have never ever even come close to getting hurt by a gun. How is that possible? In fact, I can't remember the last time I shot something other than clay pidgeons, paper targets, beer cans and wood blocks. I shoot thousands of rounds per year and somehow not one of them kills anything. How is that?
