You all do a good job of twisting words to fit your views. The only point I have made - is some weapons are designed for the sole purpose of killing people. You all have made a very good point in that it takes a person to pull the trigger - but I don't understand why anyone would want to have an weapon designed for that specific reason. Hunt all you want - maybe even have something for protection if you feel you need that. But, Jd made a good point about cops getting shot with their own weapons - this holds true for a large majority of gun related deaths - many are shot by their own guns.

Many people that own guns (including myself) are educated and store them unloaded under lock and key in a safe, however, many do not take such precautions. So am I for gun control - no. Am I for more regulations regarding who can purchase and own a gun, and education on the weapons they have as well as regulations on particular types of weapons - yes.

This is the last I will write on this issue, justify your thoughts any way you see fit, or continue to twist my words around, you are only reinforcing my belief that hardcore consercatives are incapable of seeing views that differ from your own.
