Reply #59: Gun owners = toddlers

>>All the owner of that gun sees is someone trying to deprive him of property.<<

You realize this is the same reaction you get from a toddler when you try to take that candy away from them right before supper.

Thoreau died in the mid-1800's. I could be wrong, but I believe the gun's role in society has changed somewhat since then. I doubt that there are few people now who need a gun to acquire dinner or they will go hungry or to defend themselves from wild animals. I didn't say that there weren't ANY people who needed a gun for this, just that there must be relatively fewer of them now than in 1850.
