I just don't understand why even while all these pro gun ownership laws are passed I still have to hear people talk about how any second the government is coming to take everyone's weapons and "from my cold dead hands." Blah blah blah.
I don't think most people have a problem with realistic gun ownership, a rifle for hunting, a pistol for protection. It's when you get into this sort of gun worship, let me buy 20 assault rifles, gotta collect em' all mentality that you start to creep me out.
Like Jon Stewart said, the problem with only a good guy with a gun kills a bad guy with a gun is that WE DON'T KNOW YOU ARE A GOOD GUY. There are certainly many instances of former "good guys" snapping. The heat of passion and anger can also cause people to overreact.
Of course people freak out when a couple of young guys walk into a Fast food restaurant with assault rifles. You talk about your freedoms, how about MY freedom to walk out into public and not be surrounded by a bunch of guns??
Cause that's what you guys want right? The Wild West again? You couldn't pay me to go to Georgia after the "guns everywhere" law passed.
And that's the sad truth, most gun owners are reasonable and most people respect individual's right to bare arms REASONABLY but it's these small fringe groups of extremists and the NRA directing this idea that some huge constitutional battle is going on. It doesn't exist. The most important thing to know about the NRA is that their number one goal is to sale as many guns as possible and fear is the ultimate salesman. They shouldn't be allowed to control our lawmakers and the direction of our society.
