I've had bullets whiz by and I have seen what a bullet in the head can do. I also have met the guy who shot himself in the leg with a 44 mag playing quick draw. Yet with 250 Million guns in the United States and a population of about 280 million it seems that MOST gun owners are responsible owners considering that there are less than 40,000 gun deaths in the US a year. Most of those deaths occur as a result of some other type of criminal activity. Gun Crime is on the rise in extreme Gun Control countries such as the UK, France and Australia. why because the criminal element has no fear of law abiding people having firearms. Look at the Big Gun Control states and the murder and violent crime rates in those states vs the states with right to carry laws. Right to carry states have a decrease in violent crime rates, why because the criminal doesn't know if he or she is armed. Better to have a stick and not use it than to need a stick and not have it.
Now believe me I am a FIRM believer in responsible Gun ownership. The NRA has MANY firearms training programs, yet the PC crowd dinigerates these programs which could prevent accidents.
PS: Nostatic what do U think I play on, on these boards except the folks who have little impulse control. Just look at the list of names I have been called by the quick to judge crowd. If they read through and thought about most of my posts they might come to a different conclusion as to what I am saying. And most of those guys are your friends, Now i can see why U don't want anybody having a gun....... Oh yes I couldn't resist the jab after all...
