Guns are a huge part of my life and my identity. I've never been shot at and I hopefully will never be forced to shoot at anybody. Guns represent the freedom and self-reliance that this country was originally founded on. There's nothing better than hunting all day, bonding with nature, and bringing food home to your family. You also have a tool that protects life and ensures that your family will be able to live in peace and without fear of criminal elements.
Most importantly, owning guns is so important to me because I've seen how the Old World conducts business. They disarm their citizens in the name of public safety, yet these citizens are just sitting ducks for criminals and corrupt political leaders. American colonists made a huge leap in human evolution by coming to North America and recognizing that all human beings are gifted with the right to defend their lives against anything seeking to do them harm. This concept is merely given lip-service in the Old World.
I simply wish to live in peace. Any person or organization that tries to take away my guns because of ignorance or criminal misuse of these tools will find that I'm not as peaceful as I once seemed. Take away my guns and take away my freedom and self-reliance.
