Rural gun ownership.

[DrewFlorida]

11. I concurr with you on gun ownership for practical purposes.

I believe the real question regarding guns is not about taking away guns which serve pratical purposes, rather it is about restricting and banning guns and accessories (30 round magazines, high velocity rounds etc) which serve no purpose other than killing people quickly and in large numbers. I know some would like to abolish all guns, but they are few in number, the issue at hand is to reduce the senseless proliferation of people killers also known as assault weapons. I'm sure you didn't need an AR15 to put that dog down, I am equally sure you wouldn't want to shoot a deer you intended for sustenance with a .223 high velocity round which fragments after entering the victim, I can say with great certainty a 100 round drum magazine would not be of much help in taking a prized buck. The final question is restricting guns to people who have a history of violence or mental instability, it seems clear to me that should not even be an issue for people to disagree, yet some still disagree.

Sensible gun controls and restrictions do not mean taking away guns for practical purposes, it means lessening the opportunities for murderers.
