I look back when I was a kid. I went hunting with my dad. I did not own the shot gun I used he did. He loaded his own shells and loaded for others. He made me clean what we brought home to get me used to it. I never did and am a vegetarian now. I bought a colt Frontier Scout .22 when I was 18. I could not take it with me to Fort Knox when I was drafted so I sold it. No background check. I felt then that gun restriction laws were "feel good" laws.
I used many types of weapons in Vietnam from colt 1911 automatic to 50 cal machine guns. I bought a Ruger Single Six when I had 20 acres in the lower Sierra Nevada. I was not in the argument of gun control until the right wing turned up the heat.
Now we have the pendulum moving too far toward no holds barred gun ownership in this country.
It needs to move toward the other way.
