Believe it or not, I actually own rifles and shotguns that I use for sport and hunting. I do not own a hand gun because I find them unneeded for most purposes except for police officers, criminals, or people like Zimmerman who are paranoid fruitcakes. I actually was a NRA member before Lapieer high jacked it to suit militant gun owners who didn't want their 30 round clips and AK'S and AR's taken away. I actually support gun ownership, but only after EXTENSIVE background checks, which does not exist today. Something should, and has to be done to take weapons away from the insane and those that buy guns that are purchased simply to resell to people that couldn't get one legally. I live on the East coast and I know personally that if I wanted a hand gun I can get one in a few day's, ones that were purchased legally in South Carolina.. Another reason that I am opposed to military type weapons with 30 round clips, is that one in the hands of a deranged individual can cause much more damage than an ordinary hand gun. I live in a town that unfortunately experienced that first hand, where a damaged individual with a Bushmaster that he was allowed access killed over 20 children. Too many sick individuals in this country to allow basically unrestricted access to weapons designed for carnage, and I think the Founding Fathers would agree with me.
