A shooting enthusiast who supports strict gun sales laws

[SecularMotion]

I don’t believe just anybody should be allowed to own a gun, but I believe I should be allowed to own a gun. Then again, I’ve never been arrested. I’m schooled in firearm safety, and nothing in my background would indicate I’m psychotic, no matter what the droogs down at my local may say.

I find myself caught in the middle of the Great American Gun Debate, disappointing some of my more liberal comrades when I suggest it’s impossible to eliminate our country’s guns and gun culture, and disappointing my more conservative brothers and sisters when I admit I’m in favor of stronger gun sales laws, and that I don’t believe anybody is coming to take our guns away.

Of great annoyance to me are those who suggest somebody is trying to take all our guns away, thereby unduly inflating the price of ammunition. You see, I’m an avowed target shooting enthusiast with a confessed .357 Colt Python fetish.

I’m not concerned about home defense, and I have no interest in loafing around town strapped. The idea of me trying to stand up to our government’s $621 billion per year military budget with my pistol is silly and ridiculous. I just like firing guns. But I should also note, I don’t see how banning certain guns or limiting ammunition is supposed to solve anything either.
