I am one of "these people", and your perception is not true for me. Guns are not a hobby for me, nor are they for many gun owners. Rather, we view ownership and carry as civil rights.
- drewrv 10y agoThese things aren't mutually exclusive. Blogging is both a hobby and a civil right.
- ppod 10y agoYou're right that's probably most gun owners too, I don't think hunting or target shooting is the driving reason. I think that civil rights should be more general than that -- like you should have a right to a level of personal safety, and then we design laws to protect that right. I just think that gun ownership endangers rather than protects that right.
