i don't have any fantasies about it one way or the other. but i'm no more comfortable in losing that right as i would be any of the others we're supposed to have guaranteed to us.
if you don't want a gun, you don't have to have one. i'm not forcing ownership on you, and i'd appreciate if you not literally force your feelings about it on me.
mine isn't an overwrought fantasy.

it's a fact. anyone owning a gun is more likely to kill an acquaintance or themselves than a stranger.

the fantasy is that the problem lies in the stunning lack of guns in this country. we just haven't armed ourselves well enough.

anyone here that wants to protect their family would be better served by getting rid of the guns in their house.

that isn't a personal attack. it's a statistic.
