59. Do anti-gun people also support the Patriot Act?
What about the National Id card or FBI databases of all Americans?

See once you start screwing with our rights, no matter how well intentioned, you only end hurting the people you're trying to help.

I know some of you feel the gun lobby is out of it's mind wanting no restrictions on assault weapons, but it's not for the reasons you may think. I'd say more than 90% of us gun owners will never own or shoot an assault weapon but we know if assault weapons are banned, our guns rights will be further marginalized the same as our individual rights are marginalized by the Patriot Act.

So please just keep an open mind and whether you agree or not, understand gun owners just don't trust the govt will stop chipping away at our gun rights until the only people who will have guns will be the criminals.
