Do you own a gun or weapon?

I've never had anything more dangerous than a Daisy BB Gun...and I almost shot my eye out! I support the 2nd Ammendment...but I also support classes, tests, and screenings to make sure that only responsible people who know how to properly use guns...actually have them...legally at least. I'm trying to focus on disaster preparedness, home security systems, non-lethal self-defense, and basic wilderness survival skills. I haven't gotten very far with these subjects...but the way things are going in the world...I may pick up the pace! I can't imagine shooting anyone! I hate to kill a fly! I also like the idea of well-regulated state militias...with an all-volunteer state army under the command of the governor of each state. Bases would be well supplied by tax-dollars...with C-130's, APC's, etc. The purpose would be for disaster relief, firefighting, manhunts, search and rescue, sovereignty challenges, border and port security, etc. This seems to be in perfect harmony with the spirit and letter of the 2nd Ammendment. This wouldn't be a bunch of renegade anarchists running in the streets with their sawed-off shotguns!
