In reply to the discussion: Every left leaning liberal American who can lawfully own a gun, should own a gun. [View all]beemerphill
(460 posts)Why should liberals cede a valuable right to those on the right? Ownership of a firearm does not mean that you will use it without reason. Get good advice as to what is appropriate for you. After the purchase get proper training. Practice with it to stay proficient. Keep it in a safe place.
It is not a magic wand. Waving it around will not bring a curse on the person threatening you. It is a tool that should be only used when necessary. You must know when, where, and how to use it. Firearms are not for everyone. If you have an anger problem or cannot control yourself do not get one. If you abuse alcohol or drugs firearms are not for you. On the other hand, if you are a sensible adult who makes good decisions in other matters it might be a good time to consider a firearm.
