Reply #321: You're right, we all make that call. And the overwhelming majority

believe we have an individual right to own handguns, although it may be revoked if one commits a felony (just like your voting rights or your right to peaceably assemble may be revoked if you commit a felony).

BTW, you might find it easier to have civil discussions with people who hold the majority view if you didn't use the terms "insane," "fanatical", and "right wing" to describe those who support the right to choose with regard to handgun ownership. Even the (repub) head of the Brady Campaign doesn't support a handgun ban, although I suspect he probably would if he thought he could get away with it politically.
