People already have their mind set on guns before entering into a discussion, so these discussions usually fall on deaf ears or result in insulting remarks and snide comments but OK.
I am a gun owner, and I don't care what anyone thinks about it. I own a fire arm to protect myself, and my family from being a victim to any dangers that might find itself entering my home. If that day never comes I am truly grateful. If it ever does, I am happy to know that I can do something about it. If you don't like it, I don't care. Insult away. Your not the one protecting me, or my family.
