When guns are outlawed, law abiding people will not have them. Criminals will! Then they will use them as they choose and leave people defenseless. Thus, I can't support getting rid of them. It is my duty to defend my family the best way possible. Two years ago, someone tried to get in my front door at night. I picked up my gun and waited. He then tried my bedroom window. I moved to that window, which was covered by curtains. I held the gun near the window, slapped the magazine in, and chambered a round. I heard the bushes rustle, and I went to the front door and had my wife lock me out. The little bastard was gone, but for the footprints he left. He was scared off by my gun. Nobody was hurt.
Second, all these examples of kids mis-using guns are EXACTLY the problem. Again we blame the inanimate object instead of the irresponsible people who own the guns, but don't teach their kids about them and keep them appropriately secured. The blame belongs there.
Third, it frightens me to hear the idea of getting rid of "Soldier of Fortune" and such. While we are doing that, why don't we get rid of "High Times," and all the garbage, liberal rag newspapers out there. SoF does not advocate anything illegal, while "High Times" does (whether you agree with the law or not, dope is illegal). Why not get rid of those? Because we have certain rights in this country. They are protected by people...people with guns.
