Not a popular opinion I know, but as seriously as you take your right to own firearms, I just as strongly believe you shouldn't have that right, at least not without a lot tighter controls.

there are probably just as many who read the second amendment as allowing you to own guns. kind of like freedom of the press includes more than the newspapers...
there are limits already on gun ownership-no felons, no nut cases.
now, i used to think that you shouldn't have many limits of what kind of weapons you can own-and i don't feel that for the most part it's law abiding citizens who are the problem insofar as guns are concerned.
but my dipshit neighbors bought their 16 year old an ak-47...now i'm thinking maybe a couple rules about what kind of guns might not be such a bad idea...and they are breaking the law, altho it would be hard to hit them with it-you are supposed to be 18 to possess a weapon, and no one is supposed to give a gun as a gift, the gun is supposed to be owned by whoever filled out the paperwork. but of course if the police showed up and asked, timmi would claim ownership, not his son....
