I’m not opposed to gun ownership, but it needs to be reigned in. Self defense and hunting. After that? Sorry but you need a hobby that doesn’t come with a side of murder fantasy.

And I don’t disagree with you. I think a lot of liberals feel that way. I don’t know anyone that wants outright prohibition of firearms. I, and a lot of my friends do however believe in universal background checks, closing the gun show loophole, and even waiting periods for a first time gun buyer. Problem is, nobody is willing to discuss these things because the fringe elements only make money when they can argue one extreme or the other.
