"Again, responsible gun owners are not a problem"

That's my feeling exactly. Let the responsible people have guns, if they want to and can prove they should be allowed to. I have yet to find a DUer who seriously argues that we should "arm everybody". This is a straw man created by anti-gun people.

I'm pro-Amendment II, but I think it's a matter of choices. Some people feel safer with guns, and some people feel safer without them.

I myself have never owned a gun, I don't want to own a gun, and I don't anticipate ever wanting to own a gun.

But if I reach a point in my life where I feel I would be safer with it, whether I get mugged or beaten or whatever the reason, and I obey the laws, I don't feel I should be prohibited or even severely restricted from owning a firearm.

As long as people on both sides obey the laws in place, I don't really care what the choice is.
