Re: gun laws
In your eyes they have fallen in to the wrong hands - the general public.
We have different beliefs. I am just glad that it is you who has to suck it up and live with the fact that I can own my handguns.
I genuinely feel sorry for you that this has such an impact on your life. I am hundreds of miles away, and you know nothing about me; yet your fear of my gun ownership impacts your life in such a way. Maybe you should consider some counseling to enable you to get on with your life instead of living in fear of something that is as American as Apple pie.
You could always pop back to the nanny state and find your nice warm 'binkie' security blanket

Yikes, it seems as though everyone here are aiming their fingers at each other... which on the wrong hands, they might go off.
slap, slap, slap, slap slap - ugh, I've been hit (must have been a misfire). Nice slappin' Tex.

Re: About Guns, Not Gun Laws
This was the first chance I got to visit the range since I arrived in CA. To be honest it was a very nerve racking experience.
As anyone who has ever been to the range at LAX will testify, it is not in the best neighborhood. The range only has 6 parking spaces at the front, the rest being on the road. So I arrive at the range, all my guns unloaded and locked as per CA law. I exit the car and see 4 young men all hanging around (they all look 'street' if you know what I mean). I am thinking, I have a big range bag full of handguns and ammo, yet no way to defend myself should one of them decide to simply take it!
If I were a gang member wanting to get my hands on some handguns then I would visit the range and rob the unarmed citizens who have a great supply of well looked after firearms

Elina used to live a few blocks away on Eucalyptus before we moved in together, she was in her early 20's, blonde and never had a problem, she shared a house with 2 white blonde American girls. Although police helicopters would fly overhead occasionally as the neighborhood is a little 'street' as you put it.

You forgot to put what time you go shooting in case I ever fancy some free guns.

What a load of pony. You'll be telling me 'from my cold dead hands' next.
I hadn't realised you were ESN
