204. "Gun enthusiast?" LOL!

Yes, it is an inanimate object. It cannot cause harm on its own, but it can be used to cause harm.
I'm not the type of person to trivialize your fears and desires with comparisons or what if scenarios. Guns are designed to be used to kill and are used to kill. But, as Americans, we have ALWAYS had the Constitutional right to have them. So the question is, do we strip that right from all in order to please the few? I say no. Especially seeing how the places with the strictest gun laws are also the ones with the most murders.

Seems to me that the people who are so paranoid about what MIGHT happen, but more than likely won't happen, are the ones with an "unhealthy obsession or delusion." Living in constant fear that SOMEBODY, SOMEWHERE, may be "collecting" guns or, heaven forbid, "carrying" one around.

Look, the fact is that the 2nd Amendment really is simply our right and its not going anywhere. With rights come consequences. Yes, there are some holes we can fill, but it's one of our most regulated and controlled "rights."
If it really does scare you that much, then by all means work to get rid of it. It will be a wasted effort, but at least it might make you fell better.
