I'm all for gun ownership, but I'm also a little for gun control.

If gun control can work in such a way where few criminals can get guns illegally, then I'm for it. (Being realistic here, like someone said, laws don't always work. However, that doesn't mean that there shouldn't be a law as long as it doesn't violate someone's rights, IMO)

I'm all for gun ownership, if those gun owners are responsible. I think anyone who owns a gun should have to take a gun safety class as well as be required to keep the gun/s away from those who shouldn't even have easy access to them.

I'm all for gun ownership of those semi-automatic or automatic weapons, as long as they're for collecting and just for competitions and such. I see no point in someone owning a machine gun just to protect their family or hunting.

Shooting Competitions, ok, what I mentioned above, nope. I need a good reason why a machine gun does a better job of protecting oneself or family than a regular handgun other than that it shoots faster than a handgun or is more accurate (Or more likely to kill).

I'm no gun-owner myself, seeing as how I lack the strength to even pull the trigger.
