Your fear of MY guns is irrational. None have ever harmed a human or been used in a crime.

15. i shouldn't be afraid of a stranger's lethal weapons?

i'm certainly willing to believe that you haven't ever committed any act of violence with your guns, and i'm certainly willing to believe that you can't see any real possibility of it in your future.

however, *i* am not inside your brain, i know little about your life, and i have plenty of completely rational and legitimate reason to have my concerns.

for one thing, people change. completely level-headed and rational people can become mentally ill later in life. or they can have financial and/or family circumstances turn against them. or they can simply be in the wrong place at the wrong time and react poorly in a stressed situation. or you might just miss the bad guy and shoot me instead.


most people, including you, want merely limited, common-sense regulation on guns. the few people who actually want to ban or confiscate guns certainly are in a small minority and are not going to get anywhere anyways.

but please do NOT go about with a chip on your shoulder telling others they have nothing to fear just because you can't see yourself going postal.

i once had to fire an employee and escort him out of the building knowing he had a gun in his truck.
would the thought cross your mind that maybe, just maybe, i should have been a wee bit afraid?

we sure as shit have plenty to fear.
