(A good gun isn't cheap, y'know.) Beyond the freedom aspect, there <i>is</i> the motivation of protecting one's investment. To be fair, I'd bet few if any gun owners would be willing to give up their collection even for fair market value, since they recognize that the freedom to own them was bought with someone else's blood. I'd figure most of them would see that as giving up one's birthright for a mess of pottage and all that. Gun control opponents have a much more vested interest in stopping gun control than its supporters have in getting it enacted.the pistolerohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07921719381072311001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34529754.post-66216054885806332392009-12-06T01:20:42.338-06:002009-12-06T01:20:42.338-06:00Living in the Nation that stealthily annexed the r...Living in the Nation that stealthily annexed the rest of y'all not once but twice, where according to the gubmint we have upwards of 80 million of the privately held firearms in the US, I can't think of anybody much I've ever known that was much keen on gun control except some hippies.

I hear they are doing some amazing things in psychiatric medicine for lunatics and other defective births.<br /><br />He's actually a murderer after all. If you advocate and sometimes succeed in forcibly disarming citizens leaving them defenseless to the depredation of the criminal classes, that's at least accessory to a lot of murders, isn't it?<br /><br />He should wake up every day and be glad to be breathing and not a murder victim that had been depredated do to his irresponsible behaviors because he walks around disarmed every day pissing people off by trying to make them murder and rape targets too. He should also thank gun owners for putting that doubt in all the criminal's minds that "the guy might have a gun so we better leave him alone".<br /><br />Fellow doesn't recognize a helping hand from his fellow citizens.
