@m14brony Interesting. I get the appeal of shooting ranges and other recreational stuff like that, but it's always seemed that a lot of argument against gun control brings up using them as self-defense, and (assuming the police force in an area is just) having guns around the house is more of an act of ego inflation than a self-defense mechanism. I mean, assuming you keep them locked up in a gun safe/locker/whatever, you're looking at something that takes a comparative while to get into if you have a burglar in the house who knows what they're doing. (And if you don't keep them locked up... hope you get to it before they do?)
I'm not really for or against gun ownership, though. People should be allowed to collect what they want, as long as they're not hurting people with them. Maybe ammo regulation would be an effective solution to both sides' issues? Limit being able to shoot guns to ranges and (heavily regulated) licenses, but allow collection of the firearms themselves?
