its the simple fact about how easy it is for someone to lose their life over the thing that makes me weary about them.

I'm sure if I really wanted one, I would be able to take care of it and keep it safe so that no one can gain access to it. but then in an emergency, do you really have time to go to the gun safe?

and honestly, how many guns do you have open access to right this moment? at least one? how many times have you used your guns in actual self defense?

seems not a week goes by that I don't hear about someone's kid accidentally killing themselves or someone else. thats one thing I fear. not to say that would be a problem, but thats one problem I don't have to deal with.

then again, I've had a few negative experiences with guns in my youth, so thats probably more to do with my personal feelings. but what does it matter how I feel? plain and simple, I don't like them and I don't need them.

again, agreeing to disagree. do what you want, cowboy.
