Just why is the Democratic Party against guns?

[Mend]

Our family has guns for skeet and trap shooting, never live animals. My husband was in the military as a young man and knows how to use them. I know some people are careless but they are careless with bottles of lye, too, and swimming pools and cars and every other damn thing. Guns are part of our culture, the way wine and cigarettes are a part of France, and that's not exactly a healthy life style either. It is tragic when kids die playing with guns, it is tragic when guns are used in crime but maybe it is time to change our position. I think we should all join the NRA and make it a progressive organization. I don't want to be in it now with all those creeps but if all of us joined, maybe we could take this issue off the board.
