I will ask the obvious and reply later.

Why do you all need a gun if you are all law abiding citizens?

Uhh... I don't know. That's a really really goo- err fucking stupid question.

Like msgtpain said, he enjoys owning guns for the recreation. Shooting at targets can be stress relief or just a fun sport to you. Shooting at a target doesn't necessarily mean you're going to use a gun outside of range shooting.

Others want to own a gun for protection. They feel more safe knowing that they have a way to fight back if someone attacks. Plus, if people know or think you have a gun, they're less likely to want to attack you. Unless you're suicidal, I'm pretty sure you'll stay away from someone if they're packing heat.

There are people who own guns for the joy of hunting. I don't think I have to explain the reason for that...

Then there are people who own guns for all or a mixture of the three reasons.

Why give up our liberties just because we're "law abiding citizens"? Sure, I'm not planning on building bombs and killing people with them, but I don't want the FBI to know what books I've checked out at the local library. I have no terrorist attacks in the making, but I don't want to have my conversations to be recorded.

I don't want to give up my right to bear arms because I don't have any plans to shoot people unless forced to by having my rights encroached on. I'm a citizen, and I own property. It's my right to protect myself and my property. Once I'm a home owner, you bet that I'll be owning a gun. I want it for safety, and I enjoy guns, so I'll probably use it for recreation.

whoa.
