What a terribly misinformed individual. I really hope he never needs a firearm and doesn't have it.

I know this isn't right, but I hope that the criminals do find this guy....It would be nice to read that he was robbed at knife point and lost his great grandfathers pocket watch or something like that.... I don't wish any harm on him, but I would die laughing if he got robbed....

Like I said I know it is right to wish that on someone..

There have been many documented reports on people being anti-gun, and being put into a bad situation, and then becoming one of our greatest advocates... Maybe one day, he'll change... But for now, he simply doesn't understand anything other than "guns could hurt me" and he's willing to accept that as the ultimate answer at the time being... Most gun owners are Republican, maybe, I am... But hell, even I voted for Kerry... lol
