Legal gun ownership, doesn't that mean stored in a locked cupboard. Excuse me Mr Intruder, can you wait for me to get my key & unlock my gun cupboard.
Oh, by the way Mr Burglar, dont bother looking in my locked cupboard, there is nothing in there. You wont find anything to arm yourself and progress to armed robbery.
I am not hoplofobic but I do believe we would have had a lot more Martin Bryants in Australia if we had the same freedom of gun ownership here as there is in the united states of extremists.
Lock up all the loonies for sure, but normally we don't find out they are loonies until AFTER they commit their acts of lunacies.
Ask the families of the slaughtered if they care about the violence detered by armed defenders what they think of gun control..
Sorry Jason, sounds like I am ridiculing your opinion. I do know there are responsible gun owners who would never commit armed attrocities. But depression & other mental illnesses can hit anybody which can overrule all sense of whats right & can be afflicted after legally obtaining guns.
I don't necessarily disagree with your comments, just adding to the debate.
