I don't mind being with either , because I have a gun and can fight back with either ! Make whatever laws you want , I won't be following them any more than the laws dealing with speeding or hobbying ! Making laws doesn't retrieve all those firearms out there , and only a fucking idiot will surrender them !
So now what ??????? You go door to door around America trying to find all the people that feel like I do , and try face to face to get them see the error of their ways ?

It is sad this attitude that we should turn our society and country into an armed camp. I too own guns and while I find them interesting and useful, I do not "love" them and have never needed them or wanted them to ensure my safety or freedom.
What happens now is a few laws (gun safety and others) probably get passed and CDC and other agencies can compile data to determine if any are effective and what might be more effective. We hopefully change or repeal those that aren't effective and pass new ones that have a chance to lower injuries and deaths and eventually we have a society that has fewer deaths and injuries than those that outlaw guns, yet we have a great deal of freedom to own and use guns for legitimate purposes like sport, protection and competition. That is the goal, but I have few illusions that it won't be messy and likely inefficient (just as the founders designed) and will fall short of the ideal since we are human and all flawed ourselves. Those who choose to ignore the laws will suffer the consequences if they get caught, but nothing will happen if they are careful and circumspect (like here).
I'm curious why you feel you need a gun to feel safe and secure? Do you really think our country would be a better place if everyone carried all the time? Do people who would like to be free of the fear of having deadly weapons around not have some right to be gun free sometimes?
