Yes, I am one of those people who think that, but it doesn't make me an idiot. Guns SAVE lives, dude. Whenever concealed carry was made "shall issue", such as here in Florida, all the anti-gunners cried that there would be blood in the streets and all that, yet just the opposite happened...violent crime decreased markedly everywhere such legislation was enacted.
We could debate the morality of firearms ownership all day and night, but I only need to point to one piece of evidence...the Second Amendment. Our cons ution guarantees the right of the people (individuals) to keep and bear arms. This is an individual right, not a collective one. This interpretation was confirmed in the er decision by the SCOTUS. It's the law in the United States. You can disagree with it if you wish, and that's your right, but owning guns is MY right.
