Your fear of MY guns is irrational. None have ever harmed a human or been used in a crime. [View all]

Your anger at my being allowed to possess them is also irrational. Not only have they NOT been involved in illegal activities or activities harmful to humans, they will NEVER be. Their existence and my possession of them is to your life as apples are to The Man in the Moon. That is to say; they will never affect your life in any way and I chafe at the notion anyone would treat my possession of them as something dangerous or evil.

Most of them are heirlooms. They range from shotguns to hunting rifles to a few semi-automatic handguns (the most prized of which is a WWII issue Colt M1911 in near perfect condition) and all but the handguns have at one time or another put food on the table. Some are hand-me-downs from my Grandfather, some from an Uncle, some from my Father, and two I purchased myself. All are well taken care of and kept in a locked gun case. No children are allowed to handle them, EVER. Those the law requires to be registered are registered.

I take most of them to the shooting range here in my valley a few times a year. I've taken numerous gun-safety classes, and can hit soda cans with my pistols at 50 yards 3 out of 5 times all day long. I can do the same with the 30-30 at 100 yards and the with the 30-06 sighted to 100 yards I simply do not miss.

I am NOT a member of the NRA and the ONLY thing I know about NRA talking points is what I read from the most vocal anti-gun folks. I wouldn't know an NRA talking point if you hit me with it. In fact, I don't think the NRA has nearly as much pull as most anti-gun people believe it does.

I'm very amused and a little bit insulted by those anti's who try to shame people like me with comments like "nice NRA talking points" or "if you own a gun you must have a tiny little dick" or "only paranoid people possess firearms". Trying to shame a man about the size of his genitals or calling him paranoid for not agreeing with you is a child's way of stifling discussion, plain and simple. The Little General might not be tall, but he's sure fun. Your opinion about the size of my dick is as I said earlier, like apples are to The Man in the Moon and I don't give a fuck whether or not you've ever owned or considered owning a firearm. Apple, meet Man in Moon.

I believe the Second Amendment allows me to possess firearms, and I believe that is an absolute. On that I will not relent.

Okay... those things aside, let me say this:

I do not believe civilian ownership of 100 round magazines should be allowed. In fact, I don't see the need for rifles to carry more rounds than semi-automatic handguns.
I believe everyone purchasing a handgun should endure a background check, no matter where the purchase takes place.
I believe purchasing a handgun from a private party should require the seller to be responsible for its registration. Should the seller NOT register the sale, the seller should be held equally responsible for whatever illegal act the purchaser might commit with it.
I don't think all gun owners have little dicks, or even little boobies, nor do I think they are all paranoid.
I don't believe concealed carry would be a problem if there were a standardized set of requirements nationwide, including psychological tests, safety training, and requiring a person to prove they can shoot accurately.

I'm not dangerous or paranoid, nor am I ashamed to admit I have a little dick. My guns are not an attempt to make it bigger.

I am a responsible gun owner. Leave me the fuck alone. Go regulate soft-drink size or something else equally as meaningful.
