Quote:The point is less gun owners will equal less gun violence. What exactly are you scared of? Or do you just like playing with your toys?

 

Why yes, I do enjoy playing with my "toys".  Your logic regarding gun owners doesn't make sense.  So because a small percentage of lawful gun owners commit a smaller percentage of gun crimes, we should just (try) to take away all guns?  I can tell you right now that with me it "aint happening".  I have Our Constitution that backs me up.

 

If Government ever tries to disarm citizens, that's when citizens need to utilize their Constitutional right to keep and bear arms.  It is our right to overthrow the Government under the Declaration of Independence.  Specifically.

Quote: 

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

 
That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.

 

I have several weapons that I enjoy, use lawfully and own legally.  I'm teaching my grandson how to use these firearms in a responsible way.  Government has no legitimate reason to try and take my "toys" away.

 

If they (government) try to legislate and/or take away my firearms, they'll have to do so over my dead body.
