Now, I personally have a very liberal point of view on this topic, however there are many who think like extremists on both ends of this debate.
Would love to hear what your thoughts and arguments are for either "side" of this on going debate.
As for my opinion:
Banning the right to own a firearm is WRONG, voting in very strict and LOGICAL laws is the way to go.
A decent law abiding citizen should not have to fear for their life when confronted by the dangers that criminals pose to them. Decent law abiding citizens should feel safe in their own homes. Decent law abiding citizens who are qualified to use a a firearm should be allowed to posses a firearm for its foreseen purpose.
Remember, it's not the firearm that kills people, it is the person who pulls the trigger that is doing the killing.
Hunting regulations and laws need to be revised and put into order, mother nature needs to be looked after and if anything, I dare say that many of the European nations have brought their hunting laws and organizations up to speed with this. They nurture mother nature and ensure the survival of all species.
The hunters in Europe actually work more at neutralizing the affects of humans, such as roads, lack of natural habitat and so on, much more than they do actual "hunting".
This is a FACT that I have seen and experienced first hand in Europe. So I don't need any yahoo telling me that is isn't the case.
The laws that govern hunting are so logical and up to date with the needs of the 21st century. Likewise the rules and statutory regulations of the hunting associations are practically so strict and concentrated on nature conservation that the laws of the states seem like childplay.
I truly believe that LOGIC should prevail in situations that people disagree upon and not "BANNING" something that is available out there.
The sad part is the fact that on the black market weapons are readily available anywhere we go and this is what should be kept in mind when chewing on the "LOGIC".
There it is.... I'm PRO LOGIC hence I guess I am too liberal for both sides of this story!
