I don't have an educated opinion on this, but i personally don't have a gun, nor do i plan to ever get one. as threatening as suburban illinois is, it's a responsability i dont want to have. what made me want to post, actually, are 2 quotes that i like. they don't define my position, i just think they are funny: "there's no connection between owning a gun and shooting someone and not owning a gun, and not shooting someone. and you'd be a fool and a communist to make one." -Bill Hicks "Homer, everyone knows guns are for protecting your family, hunting small and delicious animals, and keeping the king of England out of your face." -Moe Szyzlak
