It would be nice if gun owners would support some kind of standards on their own.
But still, the concept of needing guns for protection is way overblown. I mentioned in another post about people in my own town who keep loaded handguns in their bedstands. We haven't had a murder or similar violent crime in so many years, I can't even remember. The nearest larger city, Eugene, had 2 murders last year. The number of guns stolen and ending up in the hands of criminals creates a greater danger than the one people are supposedly protecting themselves from.
People used to know this. The NRA created gun rights hysteria and self-protection hysteria. For the most part, it's not real.
