Hi, Ronnie! I'm a liberal on I-Mockery and I support the first Ammendment. I'm curious to know where anyone on here has said otherwise. Could you quote me some examples?

I've got no problem with the idea of people owning guns. Hell, my dad is a proud member of the NRA and must have at least a dozen handguns in his collection.

He's invited me to the firing range with him to go shooting ever since I was fourteen, but I was never interested. While I find weapons interesting to an extent, I don't personally like them. I have no desire to ever fire a gun in my life.

Guns have never killed anyone on their own...in our country there's usually an idiot behind it pulling the trigger (not always mind you, but this is why it's such a problem in the US...too many idiots have guns). The biggest problem our country seems to have with the whole gun issue is the general prevalent attitudes over firearms that have changed drastically over the last fifty years or so...from the point where guys would settle a fight with their bare hands in the days when my dad was growing up to a time when a lot of guys would just shoot you if you looked at them funny.

But I ALSO have no problem with background checks and waiting periods either. If owning a gun is important to you, I don't personally see the big deal in waiting a little while to get it.
