If everyone used the guns for the reasons the NRA originally said was the reasons for a gun,
there would be no major problems

It is the people who didn't that made the problems for everyone else.
that actually want to hunt, to collect, go to a shooting range). What the NRA had been using as their soundbytes.But that is the very small minority of gun owners these days.


BTW, Clint Eastwood in the last minutes of Gran Torino showed the lessons of a gunslinger.
He lifted his gunless finger and got the entire gang arrested.
I do wish he had won the Oscar for that movie.

This next paragraph is meant for a different poster on a different thread-
To the person on that other thread who told me my singular vote is unimportant,
well, the voters of the academy thought everyone else would vote for Clint, so their vote went to other people in the #1, and #2 slot.
Because of that, the biggest surprise happened and he wasn't even nominated.
Most likely that same thing happened to Ben Affleck this year.
The why bother, someone else will vote so they didn't and he didn't get a nom for director.
(this last paragraph is for the person on a different thread who told me my vote was unimportant and I shouldn't waste it.)
