Not in this thread. You’ve asked the same question plenty of times in other threads.

I do, however, like Thump’s suggestion of periodic psychiatric exams for gun owners. I’d even support having it paid for with public money.

Online Biker's repeated concerns about gun rights is reminiscent of villagers worried that witches are going to steal their penises.

And the whole world hangs on your every word in every thread?

Good to know you think that...

Don' t get upset when someone else uses that tactic for answering questions....

Why own a gun?

I’ve always been pro gun. But up until 2018 I didn’t own any. (Having sold my last one in late 2013.)

I live in a city/state with an alarmingly high rate of human trafficking. I have a cute (I believe) three year old daughter. I’m not going to get in a tug of war over my kid with nothing but a pocket knife and a can do attitude. (Actually happened with a woman and her stroller less than a mile from our old house.)

I have passed a total of 3 background checks, all of the Nebraska training requirements, paid the egregious fees, and now routinely carry a pistol concealed. Done effectively no one is ever the wiser.

We have a fireproof, 200+ pound (empty weight) safe that is bolted to the floor. Our daughter and anybody who breaks in will never have access.
I reject your reality and substitute my own!

And the world is thankful.
