To post or not to post.... I am responding to this thread carefully... and thoughtfully. I do not see how owning a hand gun can be contemplating murder. I grew up around guns, participated in many competition shootings, and used handguns as well as rifles. I like shooting guns. If I want to own one, that is my perogative. I will not kill anyone or anything with it, so what do you care? It is my right. I bought my guns with my money, and followed all of the retarded gun laws in getting it. You are not going to see it my way, and I am not going to see it yours. Why insult each other and get upset over something you virtually have no control over? By the way, I have never contemplated killing anyone with my gun.
