I have no problem with responsible gun owners who own weapons for self-protection, hunting, or just sport.

The question is not, will there be difficulties and threats to our existence, but how will we deal with them and what can we learn from them. How can they become blessings to society, as a life threatening disease is to an individual, by teaching us about the meaning of our life and existence?

We've got film on them, and they like to pound the ball. They push the ball and shoot a lot of threes. They're going to score some points.
