Rights and responsibilities DO go together, and all of us know at least one person who shouldn't own a gun even if they are allowed to.

Yeah, they're called liberals. Although I wonder about Laz, too.

Nice gun, btw. Foarte frumoasa!

"Yes, but, the Second Amendment itself, clearly addresses the issues of freedom and the protection of same by the RIGHT to bear arms by the citizenry AND to form a militia, if need be..."

Not quite. The Second Amendment itself clearly addresses the issues of freedom and the protection of same by the RIGHT to bear arms by the citizenry as part of a militia, if need be. So the courts have said.

It is important to remember that your individual RKBA is protected by your state, not the federal government (which is why gun laws vary from state to state).

Yes, that INTERPRETATION has perverted the original intent into the legal status of today. I am quite familiar with state-level control. Again, all to the convenience of those that would RESTRICT the ownership of firearms by legal, law-abiding citizens. And we are all too familiar with that effort.

I don't think guns are evil. I secure them like I would any valuable item but would feel no more responsibility to them being stolen than I would a knife, chainsaw, car or other item that can be misused.

I didn't know there was such a thing as an armed liberal.

That would probably be a description of Rosie O'Donnel.

Simple.

The rule is- if it's not on your person or in your hands, it's in the gun safe.

No problem.

I'll take one with the optional laser sight, suppressor, and a fanny-pack holster, to go.

(Skip the fries and the Coke. I'm NPO today.)

Actually, I read the article to mean that the prospective gun owner needs to make sure that they are prepared for gun ownership - including committing to learning how to use the weapon effectively. On the whole, this is exactly the way I think about gun ownership, except for the hand-wringing part of the self-examination.

Good post but if you own one, get two and quite a bit of ammo. Practice with them and clean them regulary. Handle them til you feel comfortable with them.

Ditto that.
