move to new york and watch how fast your response changes. I will own at least one fire arm till the day i die. Its my right as an American and was raised around shooting\hunting. I learned to shoot from my father who did twenty plus years as a homicide\narcotics detective in the city of new york. I was brought up practicing gun safety and owning a firearm is nothing to joke about. I dont buy firearms for the so called "Cool Factor" I buy them because i enjoying shooting them with buddies of mine who have been on the force for a while now as well as spending time with my pops at the range. Ive had people attempt to rob me,steal my motorcycles, etc. I dont sleep on anyone. All your dreams can happen here or you can get killed at a stop light. That glock .45 will turn the hardest to the softest. No one will ever change my mind on owning a firearm. Home invasions are quite common over here and everyday theres another shooting which has left someone dead. Every year home invasions are more and more common. I think its time to move
