55. Which is why...
Edited on Thu Apr-30-09 12:58 AM by VoR2012
we need to enforece the gun laws that are on the books better. My idea would be having the ATF take a monthly inventory of gun owners stocks and records of FBI background checks (which are mandatory for all gun buyers). If the guns in stock don't match up right with the background checks that were run then an investigation should follow and the penalties should be HARSH. An assault weapons ban would not have stopped either Columbine or Virginia Tech, better enforcement of current laws might have.

And I don't live in fear, there's plenty worse things in life than death. I own and buy guns because I enjoy to shoot them. I want to buy lots of guns because there are lots of different types of guns, each with varying degrees or quality, handling, and performance. I know it's cliche but ever hear "variety is the spice of life"?

I personally think there's no point (other than mentioned above) in owning lots and lots of cars, but that's other people's perogative and I wouln't fault them on it.
