If you don’t, no need to reply telling me you don’t. I live in the woods with some critters. I live pretty far from neighbors/police so having a gun gives me peace of mind. I also hunt and consider myself a gun hobbiest. I enjoy shooting targets, cleaning/organizing, reloading and earning food with guns.

        I wish that was the case here (Michigan, USA). We have had two in recent memory.

        What are your thoughts on firearms ownership in the US, given what has happened to our government lately? Do you see merit in the idea of civilian ownership of small arms in our current circumstances?

          If people in the US still believe a rogue government can be reined in by a handful of armed idiots, well, I’ve got a bridge for sale.

          The less people have guns, the better. Less accidents, less murder and suicides, less school shootings, and less guns being bought and stolen by criminals.

          And one big part of the problem is that people who should not have access to anything more dangerous than a stick can still get their hands on guns in the US.
