My answer is a tad more basic than all of this...
all good points from both views... but my view... in my home... is based
upon the fact that I cannot even get my kids to properly operate a butter knife
without scraping their arms... no way i'm going to have a conventional gun in
the house for them to do real damage with due to their curiosity, when I don't
feel the need for such protection.
If I did, i'd certainly high tale it down to the
local gun shop and submit my application, and patiently wait what ever time
deemed necessary until I could take delivery of it....
... but until I feel so threatened, I will not...
but then when I see the first Moose leaving his berrys on my property... or that
black bear that's been wandering around town gets reported in my side of the
woods... my black powder (which is significantly safer to own around
kids... though they can pinch their fingers in the hammer...) will do the
trick... I'll shoot, then run in the house... call 911, then hide in the
basement. hehe.
Parson.

It

The NRA has intrest's beyond those stated in their ads
and in their
propaganda.
And you think our secular society has a bank of
moral values? Not armed resistance,
rather armed preparedness!
And your point about the NRA is what?
We have a system of citizen control of the
armed forces and our law enforcement
officers are sworn to *preserve and
protect... *Surely you see the danger of
introducing fringe thinking to
the boys!
Um, no I don't. Jesus and his disciples were
all fringe thinkers, as were
the signers of the Declaration of
Independence...
The Brittish of 1775 had every right to quelch
rebellion to their lawfull
authority!
True enough.
In this age- with this society it is compeling
to limit the firepower of the guns
on the street!
*Right?
Oh, right! Outlaw guns and only people who break
laws will have guns.
Which leaves us at home defenseless, right? I
want to make certain
that if/when the lawless try to use a gun against me
that my gun is
at least equal if not superior to theirs. I owe this
much to my
loved ones, at the least...

I think our freedom is based upon a
collective will to do the right thing
and not to submit to some authority
who decides what the right thing should
be for you and me. And if we
send folks to congress who have the will to
do the right thing, we'll be
OK.
