Reply #93: If the party goes that way, fine. I'll still vote Democratic, but

only because I don't think the party should break into warring factions.

But I PERSONALLY will never, ever support gun-ownership.

I've never known a single person who has protected himself from an attacker or intruder by using a gun, but I do personally know:

-- a fourteen year old child who accidently blew his head off

-- a depressed young man who went into the woods and shot himself

-- three or four other suicides

Yeah, the suicides might have found some other method, but they might have chosen a less lethal one, been thwarted and gotten some treatment.

And yeah, the kid's father shouldn't have let the kid have access to guns. But he fucked up, and now the kid's dead.

I've never known guns to bring anything but heartache.

So, fuck no.
