re: #440 Shiplord Kirel

I own guns and I believe in the right of law-abiding citizens to do so. Still, I don’t belong to the NRA. Their constant insane fear-mongering is the reason. I probably know too much about how the UN and the courts really operate. The UN can have my guns as soon as their blue-helmets manage to get all the way to Lubbock without being shot, arrested, deported, or laughed out of the country. That is, it can’t happen in this universe.

Well said.

There is no problem with a responsible gun owner owning a gun.

However, there is every problem in the world with a crazy scared person owning lethal weapons, or a “macho operator” needing to sop his failing manhood with a Darth Vader gun.

I would be all for treating guns like we treat cars.

Want a gun, you need a licence and a gun safety course and some form of insurance. A sensible owner has nothing to fear from this and all the whack jobs with fantasies about overthrowing the government can whine and use slingshots.
