Thank you all for your measured, polite comments. I’ve seen guys like me (on your side, but asking contrary questions) absolutely cut to pieces for just asking.
All of you gave good reasons, but you see my point, right? Opponents don’t care what our reason is, they just say “NO” to anything gun-related. So, the Senator’s bill title, which is viewed as a flimsy reason, almost makes it worse.
If he were talking only long guns, all our reasons you listed here would be fine, but hunting rarely applies to handguns, in the minds of most folks.
They should be legal because they should be legal. Period. That’s a tough sell.
That's the TRUTH - twice!
