In reply to the discussion: What should be the limit on ownership of guns? [View all]upaloopa
(11,417 posts)51. In my opinion historical guns and replicas
are ok and guns designed for target shooting and hunting are ok.
I will not go into gun lore here because I am not a gun person though I own a .22 revolver.
I don't think it is a good idea that people carry pistols and AR15 type guns around concealed or not.
I think any gun should be secured when not in use and if someone is shot "accidentally" with your gun you should face jail time. And much more which I am not going into.
We don't need to support gunner talking points here by answering every stupid self serving reply to our posts.
