I happen to think it's a right that should be regulated more uniformly
and better than it is.  I for one don't want to own a gun and never,
ever want to.  I can shoot (I was on the rifle competition team in
college as it was part of the college's 'adaptive PE program) but happen
to think that the chances of killing someone or getting killed with my
own weapon far outweigh any advantages of owning one.
