Simple question. Is there such a thing as a "responsible gun owner"?

40. Oh so now statistics matter?

Your mythical 99% of gun owners who haven't slaughtered innocents yet? Here is the kicker. Either had Adam Lanza. Before taking the guns, and starting with his Mother, other than perhaps day dreaming of it, he hadn't committed a crime YET.

I say the same thing about YOU and all the gun owners. Those guns haven't slaughtered anyone, YET, that I know of. But what are they designed for? Nobody would pay a thousand dollars for a rifle to punch holes in paper. The ammunition industry wouldn't make hollow points and every other bullet designed to destroy flesh for that. No, those guns are designed to kill. The ammunition is designed to kill. Because you haven't used the guns for their stated purpose yet, doesn't mean we're safe. Far from it, it much as the existence of nuclear weapons, means we aren't dead right now, but one day, we almost certainly will become victims of one of your responsible gun owners.

We are a violent species. That is evident by the money we and many other nations spend on Nuclear Ballistic Missile Submarines. Those are second strike, or gotcha last devices. The idea is when the "enemy" sticks his head up, the second wave of bombs comes in to finish turning the world into a smoking hole.

Military style guns are meant to mimic the military. If the Military chooses their guns for the express purpose of killing the enemy, what makes me doubt the argument that these are sporting arms?

I want to see all guns banned. I doubt I'll see that in this lifetime. For now, I desperately want to see an end to these military styled guns that the dolts and dunces dream of using for the slaughter of innocents.

I again say, you are "responsible" unless one of your guns goes missing and kills someone. Then I bet money you and your lawyer will be swearing it wasn't YOUR fault.
