OK, We Elected Democrates...I Still Don't Need a Gun

I have friends who have gone out and bought guns because they fear the 2nd Amendment may be in jeopardy. I don't need gun...there are sure times at http://www.smooth-male-voiceover-talent.com/ I wish I had one (clients can be a pain), but I don't need one.

Many years ago, I was asked to participate on a panel discussing gun control...I was in favor of stricter laws for gun ownership and EVERYBODY else was against such legislation and, apparently, hated me and my entire family for my beliefs. It was awful...they even chased me into the parking lot to continue to tell me why I was an idiot. The thing was, I was not against gun ownership at all. I'm still not against it.

I believe every American has a right to own a gun, and who has what weapon is no business of our government. I choose not to have a gun...well, that's not exactly true. When Lucia was married to her late husband, she worked in retail and one day came home with not one, but two guns. Her husband did not want a gun, he didn't think she wanted a gun, yet here were two guns in the house. When he asked why she had purchased them she said, "They were on sale." But this is not about women (although this sentence kind of makes it that doesn't it?).

Anyway, when we moved together, she found the two guns...still in the boxes. Now we don't know what to do with them. But I don't want gun because I'm afraid the government is going to come and get them just because the Democrats are in power...I do fear we may be in a "politically correct" world where private ownership of guns may be ruled illegal (that' a change from my earlier belief of what was possible).

I have great hopes the NRA will keep that possibility in check, but there is growing pressure from the dopes with whom we share this planet.

I have friends who have gone out and purchased weapons for no other reason than the fear they may not be able to buy them in the not to distant future. What worries me more is the fact these friends have no training and small children in their home. That scares me...and I still don't need a gun.

Anybody want to buy two guns that probably don't work after nearly thirty years in a box?
