I love guns and have had a ton of them since age 7. Love target shooting and used to hunt. Also a collector of firearms and edged weaponry. But not a supporter of NRA and the 2nd Amendment argument. I sympathize with those that fear assault weapons and have lost loved ones to them whether it be school violence, drive-bys, gang warfare, or psycho massacres. But I still believe all Americans have the right to own a firearm. The responsibility for the guns and usage is on the owners and the shooters. Guns don't fire themselves. But trying to pass strong Anti-gun laws in a nation with a history of guns and love of personal freedoms is never gonna work. Guns are here to stay.

*warfare: defending arms not originating in the USA that are on US streets, in US schools, and increasingly used against police and the public. The auto pistol, double-action auto-pistol, true SMG, and true assault rifle are all German weapons invented from the late 19th century-WW2. They were meant for mass-killing and through the NRA are now in the hands of just about anyone that can afford them and pass a DOJ background check
