I've actually pondered that quite recently. I think gun ownership requires a commitment to the security of the weapon, and that's a responsibility I personally haven't been willing to assume. That being said, I don't begrudge anyone else their right to do so, provided they act responsibly as well.

I'm going on the assumption that if there is a new Civil War, whichever side I end up on (there would be many IMHO) would have an arsenal at their disposal. Otherwise, they're going to lose, and who wants to be on the losing side of a war?

Very true.

I am completely opposed to anyone owning/using a gun.

If Glen Beck or Rush Limbaugh, however, showed up at my door step-

I'd turn into the biggest hypocrite in the world.

Gay people who oppose gun ownership are in the same category as Jews that thought that Hitler would just blow over.
