This discussion isn't about whether the 2nd amendment gives you the right to bear arms. It's about people who are passionate about their guns. Gun nuts.

It's one thing to own a gun, it's another to be in love with it.
I love riding motorcycles, surfing, skiing, sports, and shooting.

I am not IN LOVE with these things. I reserve being IN LOVE for my wife and family. My weapons, as most of the 55 million other gun owners will tell you, are used to protect the people I am IN LOVE with.

You are (once again) wrong

No wonder I don't like you... as I gaze out at my 6.7 Dual-Turbo Powerstroke F-350 Dually... <grin>

You've obviously never driven a 69 Boss 302

I do wax nostalgic when thinking about a 70 440 Roadrunner, or a 426 Barracuda.

At least you didn't say GM, so there may be hope for you.

Exactly. It's their little portable penis enlargement tool.

This is where liberals get it all wrong. Most liberals base their beliefs on emotion. I doubt any conservative 'loves' his/her piece of metal any more than you 'love' your car. You are wrong about the reasons behind why people own a gun. Not every person has the same reason, but we have the same right to own one in this country and this is what brings the passionate defense of owning guns. Lots of people own guns for hunting, and lots of people own for target practice as a hobby. I would say where I came from that most people had a gun legally or illegally for their own protection though just as many inner city citizens/criminals do. The gun is like the knife, it just sits there unless someone makes a decision to use it. The gun can be regulated or banned, but there will always be people who don't care about the laws.

Thank you for the blanketing statement.

I am in love with the idea of a free society and our constitution.

You lefties live by "feelings" and "utopian ideas", we don't.

There's nothing that I enjoy more than going to the shooting range and firing off a few hundred rounds.

I am a man. I feel wonderful when I accomplish anything in life. Be it related to work, sex, recreation, function,etc.

That is what makes a man a man. I always thought it was the natural order of things.

Let us also not forget- honor, integrity, loyalty, maturity, patience,etc.

You maybe right even hunters are coming out against these weapons. You don't need semi automatic weapons to kill deer.
