i never understood the whole gun thing. yea it might be nice to collect them. yea its a good use of time to go out shooting. yeah it sometimes is a good idea to keep a weapon or a few in the house or under your pillow to have some form of security. but what else would you want? to be able to bring a fiveseven w/ you in your purse everywhere you go? im just curious what else someone might want. maybe im just looking seeing what the debate is actually about w/ guns

The best way I can describe it is like people's fascination/hobby with cars. Do you like cars? Do you like modifying them? Going to meets, track days, etc?
I love cars and I love guns. I love building guns, going shooting (targets, not animals), collecting them, etc.
Different strokes for different folks.

Or to push lara's buttons: US Gun control, or lack thereof

Actually, I am quite content as to where the gun control is right now. I'd like things to be more lenient, but you can't win them all... and it is more of a state issue than federal. As long as he does not start taking away rights, I am fine on that particular issue.

Well that's the thing, I know you are I are on different sides of this kind of thing. I don't know you IRL, however I have no problem with people like yourselves having a weapon and that. Was more or less saying that to be an ass
