I don't have a gun in the house right now (I own some, they are in storage at my parents. I hate to leave them here alone in case of theft) I haven't shot a gun in years and I will surely never, ever purchase an "Assault weapon" of any type.

But, yes.. It's affected me. It's one more Unconstitutional law that doesn't have a "Jhoffa_ Exemption" It affects everyone.

Your post is offensive to me. I think it's a foolish thing to ask.

To take what you wrote at face value, perhaps I should ask you why people who don't own guns should be concerned about the Second Amendment at all. I mean, since it obviously doesn't "affect them" they shouldn't worry about it, right?

Why should Gentiles oppose a law that discriminates against Jews, since it doesn't "affect them"

Why should adults oppose laws against abortion when they obviously aren't "affected"

What are you talking about?

I've made it clear I'm opposed to this ban.

Should John Hinkley be allowed to own a firearm? After all, it doesn't affect me because I didn't try to kill the President.

Our laws need to reflect morals. Self protection, preserving life, general freedom. But should a convicted child rapist be armed to make his next post-parole victim comply easier? I know, "he can get a gun off the streets" BULL$hit! Not everyone (even convicts) know how, or who to get a gun off the street from.

Who shoudn't we, as a "moral" Country NOT allow a firearm.? If anyone at all? Goodness me if I'm not affect by being a rapist or insane Presidental assassin, GOOD!

I don't even own a gun (yet). I've yet to shoot a gun, but I would love to be able to buy guns currently under this unconstitutional ban--Steyr Augs, H&K MP5Ks, etc.
