Re: What will it take for gun lovers to say ENOUGH
There are lots of very bad drivers who are quite lucky before their luck runs out and they have (or cause) accidents. You see them on the road all the time. But if you ask them, they'll tell you they're very good drivers.

Re: What will it take for gun lovers to say ENOUGH
This is why I have the utmost respect for you, Code3. If all gun owners felt as you do, we wouldn't continue to have many, many tragic and pointless gun deaths in this country. As a person who owns multiple guns, I don't consider any of the examples you give to exemplify what I would consider a resp...

You're right, too bad. If you can't afford it, you don't get to have it. My right not to be shot by gun toting people who don't have insurance, training, background checks, etc., way overrides their right to wave their weapons around in public.
