I agree w/ the statement by JustCurious, the ex-Marine Corps cop. I have great respect for him jus knowing what he said in the beginning of his article.

More strict Gun Control laws aren't the answer to our country's crime and violence woes. There hardly is an answer. But taking away a freedom or restricting a right is unconstitutional and jus not right. I'm 19 years old and learned how to shoot when I was 5 years old. My father taught me the consequences for misuse of any firearm. I can't imagine wanting to shoot anyone for any reason except to save the ones I love from danger. My father owns over 85 guns and keeps them either at his business or at home. He carry's a lightweight gun w/ him for protection and my mother carries a small one w/ her. The rules of guns have always stuck in my mind. No matter where we are I follow the same principles my father showed me. I guess what I'm really getting at is, we don't need to take guns away or restrict innocent people from having them. We need to teach early on in our children's lives the principles and rules of guns. Like in the traditional family, the father had the gun for protection of the family. All that is lacking from the picture is the father showing his son how to use it properly and rightfully.

I enjoyed the poll and saw some pretty effective results. I enjoyed it, the opinion of the last guy, and I enjoyed replying. Thanks.
