My 2 cents.
Way too oversimplified reasons for gun ownership. There are entire industries down here at stake. My father being a gun dealer for example. I know literally dozens of people who own guns strictly for collectors value. They do not hunt, they do not use them for home protection. My fathers has in his house over 150 assorted Mausers from around the world. Its his passion, as well as thousands of other people in the states. Guns are BIG business.

The problem is not guns. Its stupid motherfuckers owning guns that is the problem.

And once you start taking away certain kinds of guns, its only a short step to taking away all guns. Its about rights.

Its a very complicated issue.
