I guess my question is why couldn't it work here? Trust me I do understand it would mean that we would have to review, and rethink, the 2nd amendment.
No it's not a popular opinion, but I'm also not a fan of watching masses of innocent people die every other month. And I don't buy the opinion that anyone needs to ensure their overall safety with a gun (I've never owned one, and only used one on a regular basis while in the military). Other than hunting, I just don't see the need for them.
It's a complicated issue, for sure. Coming from a rural area, guns were prevalent everywhere you looked. Most everyone I know hunts. I'm not the biggest hunter in the world, but I've been known to hit the woods a time or six. I think we need an overhaul. I don't think anyone needs a gun to survive, but with the rise of home invasions here in meth/heroin heaven, I can see the need for a shotgun to defend yourself. If for nothing else.....a shot or two across the bow to scare off intruders.
