26. I am fully Anti-Handgun and anti-auto & semi-automatic rifles.

Apr 2016

I do own a few small caliber, target, bolt-action rifles and skeet shotgun - kept unloaded and all are locked in a safe. Home protection is literally the LAST thing I worry about in this world. I worry far more about a vehicle accident, falling down stairs or off a ladder.. You might think target or skeet shooting is a stupid "sport", that's okay, I think golf is stupid. The physics of propelling such a small object past the speed of sound so accurately is intiguing.

It would do a LOT more good if those who are anti-handgun and anti-high capacity semi-auto assault style weapons would be more clear about what they are against.

I don't believe that a lot of Dems want to take away hunting / target rifles from people.

TIP:: This needs to be clear. When anti-gunners complain about "guns", it is "handguns" that should be specified to give the movement more power.. just saying 'No more guns" isn't going to get it done.

BAN ALL HANDGUNS NOW!
