(38,310 posts)... the posts of gun fetishists only reinforce my opinion.
Listen to MineralMan.
If, whenever there's a mass shooting you just have to come to DU to defend your gun habit, then maybe you have a problem.
I don't respect the second amendment as it's now interpreted any more than I'd respect someone's right to own slaves. Yet at one time owning slaves was Constitutional.
Most people in the U.S.A. don't care enough about guns to bother owning one.
Most gun owners may have one or two guns safely locked away that they rarely think about, and wouldn't be offended by any reasonable regulation.
But the gun fetishists are keenly aware of any possible threat to their bizarre obsession and will leap up to defend their guns before the bodies of the last victims of the latest mass shooting are laid to rest.
