Bottom line...

I respect the sensibilities of those on the thread (and those in the world) who are peaceable sorts who want nothing to do with guns. I am glad they are free to exercise the choice that seems right to them, and I hope that always remains true.

I also respect the sensibilities of those who see the statistics in light of history, understanding that ANYTHING that has happened in the past can happen again.

I respect THAT OUR FOUNDING FATHERS FORESAW THE DANGERS INHERENT IN OUR FORM OF GOVERNMENT and therefore built in a variety of checks and balances, the right to own and bear guns being one of them.

I respect that most gun owners are law abiding citizens whose gun ownership is for peaceable means and self defense, not for aggression.

I hope both groups continue to have liberty to choose the path that seems right to them. But I doubt if it works out that way.
