I'll wager not one of you has had even the slightest reason to need one. When they say it's not a toy, they mean it. A young man's bravado is quickly extinguished when you ventilate his skull.

I'm primarily pro gun at the very least to educate people on what a firearm is and how to use one safely. Say shooting a range or hunting (if you so desired). At the very least knowledge and use of a firearm will prevent stupid knee jerk reactions "think of the children" type situations. Example is the gun registry for which our tax dollars pay and does nothing.
