    we care more about it than the clowns who think disarming honest people will make them safer.

    why is it that every gun banner is a left-winger?

    Guns are guns whether legal, illegal or stolen. It would take years, if not decades for all those guns to be confiscated, if ever. I have no desire to be defenseless for that long while all the guns are gathered up.
    Do you really think that requiring a gangster to lock up his gun is really going to deter him. Locking up guns is a good idea, if there is someone in the home who should not have access to them.

    Locking up guns for defense has mixed results. Mine are locked up when there is someone in the house that should not have access to guns. . If I kept them locked up all the time, it is likely it would take too long to access them. The ones not locked up are well hidden, but easily accessed.

    It isn’t the “gangsters” doing most of the killing in America.

    UK and Australia - what is our murder rate compared to yours?

    Isn’t a reduction in murder rates worth a little inconvenience?

    Because we're the ones that realize that guns are dangerous.

    Yes! Because most “left wingers” listen to facts not NRA myths

    I have owned and have been handling firearms for over seventy years without a single incident. Your stats don't mean much to me.
    I would listen to the NRA for gun safety before I would even consider listening to a left winger. The NRA is behind most of the gun safety courses in the US. "Left winger" advice ranks right up there with their illustrious leader and is equally helpful: "Don't".

    you mean when someone breaks into your home-shooting two blasts out of a double barrel shotgun into the air or ceiling is not good advice? say it's not so

    I guess you are ignorant of the advice Senile Joe gave to the US public about how to handle an intruder

    Yep! Don’t care either. I know how I would handle one/ have handled them and that included a fervent thank you for our low gun availability leading to few crims having guns
