Gun Violence

My Gun Control Rant

I grew up in the sixties road in trucks with my dad and others with their rifle racks and have never been aftraid of guns.  I served in the military and know how to use an M16 very well. I do believe that people should have the right to own guns; however, I have never seen the benefit of average citizens being able to purchase and carry automatic assault like weapons.  Those are weapons of "war" and should be left in the hands of military personnel and law enforcement.   Where do you stand on the issue?

Here's some other info I recently found on the web on this "hot-botton" issue:
