As an avid gun owner, and a frequent user of them, the laws that are getting passed are hurting safe users like myself. I shoot trap, skeet, action pistol, Steel challenges, and hunt. I see a lot of people posting about Americans like myself being "crazy gun owning killing machines". Which is completely false. Everything I own is legal and registered. I take great care of them, and use them all frequently. Most crimes are committed using knives (Muggings, Robbery's, etc...) You can look up the statistics yourself. The ones committed with a firearm are often firearms that were not purchased legally, are not registered, etc... So the laws that are passed, hurt safe gun owners like myself, and do nothing to remotely slow down the criminal. If guns kill people, pencils misspell words, cars drive drunk, and spoons make people fat. I find a firearm an extension of myself. I find it safer to use a firearm at a range then walk down the road, or even ride my bike 20ft down the road. Does that make me a murderer? No. Does that make a bad person? No. I'm not saying you have to like guns, or even look at one. I just ask that people look at things and try to understand what the ones following the laws, like myself, have to deal with.
