Like Biff said!
I am not a gun collector or hunter, I do own one single shot 12 gauge
shot gun and it is registered. However, when my son was born 21 years
ago, I removed all the shells from the house. I never bought any since.
No chance for an accident.
I used to hunt when there were woods around here, that was many years
ago.
Would I defend my home and family? Hell yes! (but the shot gun probably
doesn't work anymore)
I enjoy looking at other peoples gun collections, I do not know much
about them but I would rather look at old guns then old stamps. I am
glad there are collectors out there, some body has to save some of the
past for future generations to see. Sort of like us and our Spridgets.
I do agree that machine guns do NOT belong under the bed, they do not
belong anywhere but in a locked collection. But the right to bare arms
should remain as it was intended.
