One issue I am pretty fervent about is the second amendment rights.

One of the major draws of gun ownership (besides using them to hunt) is simply collecting them. Many gun owners have several guns and are very proud of their collection. I know to many people guns may seem ugly &/or scary but they can really be quite beautiful. Have you ever seen a hand-carved stock? They can be amazing!

Self-defense is one reason.

wrong juliana... Obama supports cities being able to enact gun bans, even though that flies in the face of the Supreme Court ruling in Heller.


Obama has consistently voted in favor of any legislation that restricts the rights of legal gun owners.


As to your side note:


As a person who isn't a gun owner or user, I would like to ask some of you why you want guns anyway?

I don't own a gun nor plan on ever owning one.

Your comment:


"The ban only included the semi-automatic versions of 19 military-style assault weapons not hunting rifles and shotguns."


My reaction:


In my estimation, there was never adequate justification for banning any particular weapons based solely on their resemblance to military-issue weapons.
