It'd be nice if people would think this way about gun owners.

I think 90% of gun owners are idiots,I cant think of a logical reason any one would have to own a gun.

And I've seen a police officer post selfies on FB of him and his year old baby girl driving down the hwy on his days off, but inforces the law to others when he catches them using cellphones while driving. I actually know this guy and I've called him out on it before telling him that not only does it look bad putting his kid in harms way by breaking the same laws they inforce, but that if he wrecked into someone else while doing that then that someone would most likely own him for life. I do not use a cellphone while driving so that law doesn't bother me. I see it as a good law but why should cops be exempt from the same rule? How safe do you feel? I mean if they will take their eyes off the road to take cellphone selfies of them with their small child behind their shoulder do you really think they'd give a shit about your life? Are these type responsable enough to be trusted with a gun and badge? I'm a gun owner and I can assure you that you wouldn't be put in harms way by me whether it be by my gun, or my cellphone.

There are many many gun owners at AK and some of them are in my friends list. My father, a physician, had a gun collection and I grew up with them, I was even owner of an airgun.

When I was eleven I shot a lizard into its mouth. This little creature tracks me as long as I live. It was the most stupid thing I did in my childhood.

Well, I think a lot, or better: most gun owners are idiots but 90% is too much.

Logical? I need one to fend off the 90% that are idiots. Actually, I have been around guns since I was young and find that most people that were have more respect for them than those that weren't. If you consider the number of gun sales and how many people are at the range, it becomes rather clear that most gun owners have very little skill with their guns. Moreover, if they've never shot anything but paper, they do not have an understanding of the devastation a gun can create.
