I think most people who fight against any gun control here....ARE people who either live in rural areas or maintain a rural lifestyle (hunting or collecting) being the main issue. We also have a large military polulation who keeps guns in the home.
However, for the people who have kids in the house and chose to keep handguns....I think most of them are idiots. Kids are curious and do stupid things. If I had one...I would have to keep it so locked up and hidden...I wouldn't be able to get to it if I needed it. I do have a couple of friends who even keep handguns in their vehicles. How retarded is that? What are you going to do....shoot a slow driver????
I don't have a big appreciate for guns because it's not something which interests me...but it's a ongoing figting issue in the US. The NRA is one of our largest lobbying groups. A candidates stand on guns can make or break them in a heart beat.
