Crybabies Favor Gun Control

[spin]

8. I'm a gun owner and I support most of our current gun laws.

Basically I feel the gun laws in my state of Florida are very reasonable although I feel the "Stand Your Ground" law needs to be rewritten to remove any ambiguities or confusion.

Very few gun owners support no restrictions on gun ownership. We strongly dislike the criminal misuse of the weapons we use for target shooting, hunting and self defense. We often have a lot of money and time invested in our hobby and fully realize that when a firearm is used for crime or by a person with severe mental issues to commit a massacre, it threatens the imposition of draconian gun laws such as bans on certain firearms.

The problem with those who oppose gun ownership is that they do wish to greatly restrict the civilian ownership of firearms and instead of supporting improvements to existing laws or better enforcement, they favor draconian gun legislation. Also since many of those who wish strong gun control have little or knowledge of the subject, their ideas are often foolish and useless. "Feel good" gun laws accomplish little or nothing and only lead to further calls for more such gun laws.

I feel that both sides could actually work together to accomplish some good and actually reduce gun violence. Unfortunately that would involve compromise from both sides of the issues. "Compromise" is an endangered word in our society which is why we are failing to solve any of the major issues our nation faces.
