I live in Los Angeles. The handgun murder capital of the US.
I know how to operate and maintain a firearm, however I dont own any. I dont think I would ever buy one either.
Just my opinion, but I think the NRA and other right wing orginizations like them are doing nothing positive, and after hearing a lot of what the upper echelon has said, I don't think they are all that different from the gangbangers down in the inner city. The only difference is that these individuals have money and political influence. Besides, are things really bad enough that carrying a firearm to the donut shop has become a neccesity?
