I've lived with guns all my life.
I hunt, shoot for the fun of it, and have trained my daughters to do the same.
I am not afraid of guns.
What I am afraid of is assholes with guns.
Morons who think shooting a gun in the air is a great way to celebrate New Years.
Ask the kid who had his face destroyed by a stray round how much fun that is.
Or the twit who shoots his wife because he thought she was a burgler.
Or the pastor who shoots two guys in the back because they were "sneaking around" his yard.
I have been to shooting ranges where people have used rifles to point at things.
So while I believe that guns are great tools, I think there are too damn many of them in the hands of jerk-offs who could kill me.
