However, my grandfather knew guns, hunted, kept them locked in his gun cabinet. I learned how to hunt from my grandfather and nearly shot my foot off. But I also learned I do not want to kill animals. I do not own a gun and have no intention of doing so. So for those folks who do hunt, why not continue the state-level hunting licensing programs, renewable each year, but link it to gun ownership. The problem is, for me, not one of civil liberties or individual freedom to keep a gun; it is more those who misuse that right. And that includes all those who work outside the law. So, though others may become very angry, I support your position to end gun ownership.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6996641580605014611.post-50457354784408833232009-03-10T01:14:00.000-07:002009-03-10T01:14:00.000-07:00Living in the UK it is perhaps unfair of me to com...Living in the UK it is perhaps unfair of me to comment on another country's laws but I fully agree with you. How you would enforce it and get all the guns back in to be destroyed is another matter but certainly making the ownership of a gun illegal in the first place would be a start. Because of terrorist attacks some of our police at airports now carry guns and the sight is quite horrific to those of us who have grown up in a gun-less society.Scriptor Senexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17795521284516432520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6996641580605014611.post-60848504884584592822009-03-08T18:32:00.000-07:002009-03-08T18:32:00.000-07:00I agree with you, and I think they should stop mak...I agree with you, and I think they should stop making handguns and rifles.Beekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16154598763441596951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6996641580605014611.post-17799227828152203082009-03-08T10:22:00.000-07:002009-03-08T10:22:00.000-07:00(Had trouble commenting until I commented on your ...(Had trouble commenting until I commented on your previous post.) I surely understand your position and sometimes favor it. But I think a better solution would be to enforce the laws on the books. There are many ways to murder.
