Wow. That sounds like the Joyce Foundation there.
Four guns, huh? Is that what you would mandate?
What does it have to do with mandating?
I support your right to own 145,000,332,111 guns, if you are capable of purchasing that many.
But for practical purpose, if you own 20 guns, the 21st gun is not going to do you much good as far as self-defense goes.
Pistol, back-up pistol, rifle, shotgun. THe fifth gun will not improve your safety by as great a factor as the first gun did, or even the second. At some point you need to admit to yourself that you're buying guns for a hobby, not genuine self-defense need, because your self-defense needs will be filled at this time. Maybe this will come at the 100th gun or the 500th, but I suspect it will come much earlier.
I don't understand how this is somehow an anti-gun statement.
I do
not oppose your ownership of any kind of guns and I believe the more people own guns and carry them, the better.
I can however question the wisdom of the decision to buy dozens of guns on the argument that Obama might win the election, and question the self-defense role of dozens of identical rifles without being anti-gun. In the same manner I can criticize a man's purchase of a given weapon without necessarily being anti-gun.
