I'm a gun rights supporter but don't think anyone outside of law enforcement or military should be able to own assault or fully auto weapons. I can also go with low capacity magazines as no one needs to be firing 15 bullets at a time either. I don't have kids and still have my guns (all handguns) locked in a safe which is locked in a cabinet. I no longer live in a high crime area like I did when I was in Evanston IL. If I did have kids around I'd do away with them though as they'd be 'apples off the tree' and they'd find a way to the keys and into the safe. Also if I was as big as GBbob I could probably make due with pure intimidation. Still not sure about the carry/conceal laws but firmly believe one should be able to defend their home with guns if they choose. I understand the argument if they take assault weapons away semi-autos are next and pistols after that. But with some assurances from the anti-gun crowd many would agree with strictor gun policies. I'd also agree to 'chipping' my guns with GPS devices in the event they were stolen. This probably won't make either side happy.
