By the way, let's separate people who support the right of responsible citizens to own guns from "gun nuts".

I'm not against owning guns. I think that if you have the ability to use a gun responsibly (which implies skill as well as safety) you SHOULD feel obligated to own a gun.

But I don't think a responsible gun owner is for the idea of no regulation, no rules, and no laws. Anybody who could spend 5 minutes in any Walmart watching average Americans waddle by and not feel like gun regulation is a good thing, should, by default, not be allowed to own a gun.

Regulation is not only a good thing, it is constitutionally mandated.
