I grew up in the country so guns are something I'm fairly familiar with but it was a different mentality out there than what I see with most vocal gun advocates. Rifles were good hunting and for home defense people used shotguns loaded with rock salt, hand guns weren't really a common thing except for people who were issued one for work and high capacity weapons were seen as things that belong in war zones, not your home.

I never had a problem with any of that but then you see school shootings and you see little girls getting shot in the head by their neighbor who was illegally target shooting in his back yard and it becomes very clear that something in this country's collective psyche is badly broken when it comes to firearms.
