i honestly have a hard time reading a lot of the anti gun horse shit out there. Mainly because it's often clear the author has never even seen a real gun, let alone shot one.

At the end of the day, we have the right to bear arms enumerated in our country's constitution; in the same bill of rights as freedom of speech and the rest. As far as I'm concerned, the 2A protects "new" firearms just like the 1A protects free speech on blogs/forums/the internet. I feel like Anti's are quick to want to gut the 2A and seem to forget the 2A protects the 1A they love to defend so much.

I've been way too close for comfort to gun violence, and it's that exposure to gun violence that mad me decide I need to exercise my right to self defense. Thankfully I've never had to, but there have been at least 2 close calls.

In the end, people who want to commit suicide will find a way, be it gun, knife, car exhaust, toaster, suicide by cop, the list goes on.

Exactly! Like a lot of people say, guns are just tools. It just depends on how you use it.
