I'm more in favor of sending casual gun owners to the firing range until they know how to respect and handle their weapon responsibly. With the exception of violent criminals and the mentally incompetent, I don't advocate taking away weapons. Get real people... Stop reading what I write through the goggles you like to wear.

Who, exactly is a "casual gun owner"? Go to the sherrif's dept. and pay $90 bucks and EARN a CCW. Maybe THEN you may have a clue. I've been carrying since 1968. Lifetime member of the NRA. Member of SASS. Am I a "casual gun owner"? Or should I be a member of Special Forces, FBI, CIA, SS to lable me as a "not a casual owner"?

*sigh*

I've already repeated that I don't consider people with a CCW casual gun owners.

I think of casual gun owners as people who buy a gun for their protection, but don't bother learning anything about it. Who do you think are the most likely people to leave a hand gun in their house some place where their kids can get to it? Not someone with a CCW. That person has already demonstrated their respect for the weapon.

Like I've said before, it doesn't apply to you guys, and unless you guys are planning from suffering a major lapse of brain power, it never will.
