I'm always amazed how "us" and "them" the gun issue has become.
There was a time when gun ownership was an "us" issue, because you were happy your neighbor had a gun, happy everyone had one, or more than one. It was a "we" thing, because we were all in it together, and having guns around was a civic duty.
Now gun ownership is a "them" issue, because your neighbor is out to get you, the kid down the street is going to shoot himself, you can't trust anyone who has guns, guns are dangerous, boogedy boogedy boogedy.
The gun control crowd is a study in disconnected, isolated, frightened group think - people so scared of their neighbors and the world they live in that they can't even trust the people around them to be as sensible as they believe they themselves are.
Personally I'm glad my neighbors have guns, and I trust you to have one too.
