(1,299 posts)and I have been toning it down, I do enjoy shooting my AR-15, I also own a MAK-90 which is a semi auto clone of the AK-47. I do keep all of my firearms in 2 heavy duty safes that is bolted to my garage floor with an alarm system on the safes themselves and the garage has a separate alarm w/battery backup. I have appox $60.000 worth of firearms I collected over appox 30 years. They are a good investment monetarily and I take safe storage to another level.
I do support safe storage laws, mandatory liability insurance for gun owners, I have that as a rider to my home policy. I also think that every state should have what IL has, a FOID card, in IL, if you don't have one you can't even touch a firearm,
I think that all firearms transactions should have a background check, right now, it is illegal for a private seller to access the NICS do to background checks, so I believe that the NICS should be opened up to private sellers with a small fee charged to the buyer and a sale/no sale system.
I'm not one of these no restrictions extremists, I so support some gun control laws.
