In reply to the discussion: I'm all for a total ban on semi-automatic guns [View all]> So going to a gun range now makes you a gun enthusiast?
Seeing as how "gun enthusiast" is a completely subjective term, arguing over its definition is silly at best.
How about if we say that "gun enthusiast" includes those, that for whatever reason, use a gun as a tool to snuff out life? After all, slaughter is not an easy task, and you must be enthusiastic about such a job if you're going to take it on.
> What metric do you possibly use that would classify a gun owner, as an unproductive member of society?
I'm not as long as they can give up their addiction to their Precious. Just like a lot of really sad, deeply-addicted heroin addicts turn into productive citizens once their addiction is kicked.
> n violation of their constitutional rights,
Nothing of the sort. They can still join a well-regulated militia like the Constitution & Federalist Paper #29 talked about in detail.
