I have never heard of a gun owner trying to force non gun owners to own a gun.  |
Well I've never heard of an innocent gun-owner getting shot by a non-gun-owner's non-existent gun.
I'm painfully aware that, being British, my opinions must seem rather unwelcome even to some anti-gun Americans. But my father lives in the US and my job involves regularly working in the states (I'm actually in the US right now). I do not claim to have any deep understanding of American culture, nor any "right" to involve myself in the legal side of this debate. But I am somewhat affected by it, and issues of morality (as opposed to legality) are IMO not bound by borders.
