Harry,
What convinced you that handguns ownership was reasonable and prudent,
and was actually a fun hobby? Just a few years ago, you thought
handguns were toys for idiots, rednecks and those who felt sexually
inadequate. You were for ownership of shotguns for skeet and home
protection, but were a major supporting of making handgun ownership illegal?

What happened that made you do a complete flip flop on this issue?
