As a child, seeing guns hanging in the gun racks on the wall was common. These weren't locked away, nor did anyone of us kids dare touch any of them. My mom has always keep loaded weapons throughout the home - as does the rest of the family, except me due to having a mentally ill child not for fear of them hurting others but themselves. We consider it our right, however none of the 100 cousin's or relatives agree with the need for owning an AR. We all agree these should be BANNED. Yes, I have shot the AR's many times as both military and a civilian - however, I see no need for civilian's to own AR's. I am all for banning AR's and most of the general public for the simple reason when we say you have a right to protect yourself, none would expect you would need one to protect yourself from 50+ people - but at the most 5, but more commonly 1 - which you don't need an AR for 1. That is really responsible ownership!
