Colorado takes on gun ownership

 

Many put forward the fact that a high proportion of these weapons are used as a food source and not as a way of collecting trophies or intimidating people. Those in this camp make the observation that they come from a family background of always being around guns and learning to handle them as well as appreciating their responsibility at a very early age. Their take on the murders is more that the troubled individual responsible needed help that others should have spotted, therefore to blame it on gun culture is the easy option.

 

Others stress the importance of learning everything there is to know about the weapon in their control. Some are just too powerful for an amateur to confidently handle without proper training. Small revolvers are quite a hit especially with the ladies, who find the bigger rifles intimidating, but a valid point made was that once in ownership then awareness of everything around intensifies, knowing the huge responsibility that having a gun carries.

 

What did seem to come through in a recent poll was that most folk are trustworthy members of society who acknowledge the importance of safety. Unfortunately, the unhinged crackpots out there were not it seems, part of the survey!
