35. Gun owner not opposed

Mon Jan 7, 2013, 01:50 PM

Jan 2013

I am a gun owner, an NRA member, and a strong supporter of the 2nd amendment, however I would not at all be opposed to this. I also have several family members and friends of mine who are also gun owners and who also agree. There does have to be some common sense legislation put in place to try and help. I must say overall that I am encouraged to see that we do agree on some basic things, regardless of political affiliation.

Unfortunately, I just don't think it would do a heck of a lot to stop gun violence as a whole though. We have many gun laws already on the books that still don't stop bad people from getting them. As long as we have criminals, and have sick individuals in this world, some of which nobody would ever suspect as being sick, these tragedies will never cease.
