      I had an SKS for a couple of years but sold it because I didn't feel comfortable having it around. I was also a card carrying NRA member.

      Guns aren't dangerous untill they come into contact with certain humans.The majority of gun owners are responsible, law-abiding citizens.

              My gun is not for hunting. I have one at home just for me. I am licensed to use it.
              Frequently Andrew works very late and I am a woman at home with 3 boys. I wouldn't be in a home without a gun.
              And it is MY gun not my husband's. He can hardly shoot.

              PLus we have alot of cats in the neighborhood! hehehe j/k

                My father and grandfathers always owned rifles. I grew up with them. Neither my husband nor I would allow them into our home. We are all much more comfortable with physical fighting in self-defense, should it come down to it.

                  When I was 8 my father bought me a Daisy Red Rider bb-gun, for christmas. First gun I ever owned.

                  When I was 10 He got me a hand bbgun, again for christmas.

                  When I was 16 he passed on his beloved remington 12gauge to me.

                  We also have a gamo pellet gun to dispose of pesky rats, and chickens.

                  I bought a crossbow a while back too if that counts.


                  Theres more to owning guns than self defense.

                    No attacks here. I won't own a gun as long as there are small kids in my home, but I can appreciate gun ownership, have several friends with guns, and probably would own one (if only for recreational range shooting) were things different. I'm generally "liberal" and skew left more than right, but I'm more accepting of guns than some of my peers. I won't be joining the NRA anytime soon, but... I ain't out to repeal the Second Amendment, either.

                      I agree with you, Pzarq. I believe in the fundamental liberty and right of the 2nd Amendment. Just won't have them in my home.

                      Ask me about "kitchen chemical warfare" and other similar alternatives.

                            I'm with PZ on this one. I was never allowed to play with guns as a kid, but I was allowed to go to the rifle range with my hanai brother. His aunt (my auntie) was (and may still be) a high school rifle coach.

                            Most of my male friends here and on the mainland are registered gun owners, many of them true gun nuts. But they are diligently heedful of all safety rules and common sense. None of my friends with guns are friends with kids. I'll never join the NRA, and believe that guns are nothing but something very bad waiting to happen, but I believe in the 2nd Amendment and the people's right to bear arms to protect themselves.
                            Don't be mean,
                            try to help.

                              I grew up around guns. Guns are a necessary tool on a working cattle ranch. We were never allowed toy guns as my parents felt we should never have any confusion about real guns vs. toy guns.

                              I'm a firm believer in the Second Amendment and feel it is my civic duty to be proficient in the safe use of firearms. If anarchy were to reign, friends and family can depend upon our household to protect the innocent from predatory types. We could also get you something for dinner! Of course, here in Hawaii, fishing is probably a more useful food gathering skill.
