Well, I can say that I don't know those people. I tend to surround myself with people who actually know what the fuck they're doing...

Hand guns are designed to kill people, if you spread them around, people will get killed by them.

Yes, that's what they're designed to do. I'm cool with that...

I actually don't have a problem with assault weapons, it's concealable weapons that do the majority of the damage.

Feel free to provide a reference for that...

Today 45 people will blow their brains out because they feel suicidal and they have a gun handy, another 30 people will be murdered, mostly in fights that would have ended with a black eye or a bloody lip, except someone remembered to bring their gun.

So because 75 people are stupid, that should impact the rights of those who aren't?

And that guy who remembered to bring his gun, will spend the next 7 years in prison, rather than nursing a bruised ego.

Well, that'll certainly give him sufficient time to ruminate over his being an idiot...

Somewhere a little kid is playing with his daddy's gun, ooops, he just shot the neighbor kid in the head.

So, blame the owner of that gun. Please don't allow your panty-twisting hysterics to blame
me...

And maybe, once this week, someone will truly be saved because they had their gun with them.

And that, for me, is enough. One person using his firearm for its' intended purpose trumps all of the idiots who don't...

Gun ownership is like smoking, it a health hazard to you and your family and the people around you, and it's a choice.

Horseshit.
Every time someone lights a cigarette, he's impacting the health of himself and those around him. Not so with a firearm...
