As to myself, just to make it clear, and for the record:
As long as guns are legal, and I not a criminal, and thus may legally own them, and I am mentally and physically capable of using them properly and safely, I will do so.
I will not be shamed, shunned, embarrassed, guilt-tripped or made to feel some sort of phony remorse into not owning guns. Not by anyone. Not for any reason, and surely not because of anyone else on this website.
If I ever reach the decision to not own guns, it will be solely on my own accord.
I'm not a member of the NRA or any other pro-gun organization. I support Universal Background Checks. I say pass a Universal Background Check law, including Mental Health Reporting. Amend HIPAA as needed, And then make enough available funds to states, so there is no excuse for not reporting violations, or prosecuting, and jailing the hell of Straw Buyers, or felons who attempt to buy guns.
