Until (if) that gun is used to commit a crime, why does it matter? And when (if) it is used to commit a crime, then the person using it is the one that deserves punishment.

If all it's ever used for is to shoot paper targets and squirrels, it's none of their business.



I see a gun as having a connotation to it that other potential weapons
don't have. A knife, a bow and arrow or club doesn't have the same
reputation that a gun has. Doesn't mean they are used exclusively for
killing but basically, that's what they are for, be it a squirrel or a
person. For that reason I feel they should have more attention paid to
who can buy or acquire one.

That's in your mind. One of my friends was a Marine sniper. He doesn't own a gun now. Has knives hidden in every room of the house. You don't want to break in to his house.

A bow and arrow is nothing but a killing machine. It's just not glorified by our media like guns are. Except for Walking Dead. That crossbow is just nasty!
