Why do the people that support gun control not own guns?

I own guns and know a lot about guns and crime statistics. Why do the people that have never touched a gun in their life think that they are qualified to make gun laws?

I have never played hockey in my life but do you think that I should make rules regarding hockey.

    You know in some places if they see someone with a gun it scares people. Where I am from you only wish you had time to go hunting with the guy too.

    I am a Certified Firearm Instructor. May I share some truths ? We invite people from our area for "Field Days". I operated the range. Hand 10 shots and sit folks down with a REAL Match rifle. A .22 rifle. Have had Life Flight Helicopter Nurses who never shot a gun come in to try it. ( people who have seen the worst damages of guns ) You know what ? My greatest reward for doing this is that when the 10 shots are gone, EVERYTIME the person looks up and says " That was fun, can I do it again ? " Everyone should try shooting before passing judgement being totally ignorant of the fun they provide so many.

    So if you see a hundred hockey players with no teeth and broken noses do you need to be a doctor to figure out that helmets are a good idea?

    I own several guns, I can pass any background check, but there are people out there who have guns and aren't picky about where they put them or how they keep them and they are taken by kids and thieves and used in crimes.

    I support training and licensing and better background checks, and so should you.

    Bullsheet

    Cops support gun control

    Combat veterans support gun control

    Doctors support gun control

    and then there are reasonably intelligent ppl like me who support gun control bc we know that if we get shot the gun that shoots us was originally owned by a law abiding gun owner just like you

    Oh you're saying Judges should be gun enthusiasts? I'm all for that but the SCOTUS is made up of all different personalities. Not sure they're hobbies should dictate their decisions on the 2nd amendment. I hope they understand the right to bare arms in our constitution.

    You're right, and you should only get to make murder laws if you've murdered someone. And you should only get to make drug laws if you've personally done hard drugs.

    What a spectacular argument, keep 'em coming.
