at least you stated your position I can agree with you to disagree on this and split a pound of bacon with respect for your opinion

I live alone no need for a safe
Besides that while I fully support the right to own guns I do not have one.

You don't, now I'm surprised. Papa remember a few weeks back when the shooting in the mall and you didn't know where your precious baby was, that is really what it's all about. Guns are horrible. In our day we use to duke it, a bloody nose maybe a black eye, sometimes a knife but that is still manageable but now you never know if some jackass is going to pull out a pistol. I'd be happy if they were banned I really would. Along with the ban heavy duty sentences for anyone caught using a gun during a crime.

Yes I agree, the gun is just an object but really after the tragedy that has happened can you honestly say every american should be entitled to own an assault rifle?

So you agree then at the very least assault rifles should be banned?

Read on:
The Seward Montessori School in Minneapolis, Minnesota went into lockdown after an unidentified teacher brought a loaded gun onto the campus (video below).
The teacher told a staff member that she brought her gun to school for protection, but her co-worker told authorities at Seward Montessori School, who then confiscated a loaded .357 Magnum handgun from the teacher's locker, reports myfoxtwincities.com.
The teacher has a permit to carry, but that doesn’t apply to schools, where bringing a gun to school is against Minnesota law and violates Minneapolis Public Schools policy, reports KMSP-TV.
The teacher has not been fired, but was placed on administrative leave.

Gun and ammunition sales continue to soar in the days following the tragic shooting in Newtown, Conn., that left six adults and 20 children dead.
Brownells, the world's largest supplier of firearm accessories and supplies, released a statement on a forum for gun enthusiasts, apologizing for the delay in fulfilling orders of assault weapon magazines, explaining that the company had experienced "unprecedented" demand for AR-15 ammunition magazines in the last three days.
Brownells' president Pete Brownell wrote on AR15.com that the company has sold about 3.5 years worth of magazines in 72 hours, adding that the company is "working like crazy to get these orders to [customers] as quickly as possible." Corpus noted that Brownells' 30- and 20-round magazines are selling quickly, and they've had to order more materials to keep up with the production demand.
In the days following the shooting, gun sales have risen dramatically. Paul Marquardt, owner of ArmsX, a Connecticut-based gun store near Sandy Hook Elementary, told The Huffington Post that the wait-time on the day after the shooting for a background check was nearly an hour -- the longest wait-time he’s ever seen.
The AR-15 style rifle, a weapon of choice in both the Aurora theater shooting and the most recent shooting in Newtown, accounted for more than 25 percent of ArmsX’s recent sales, he said.
The "threat of regulation has dramatically upset the normal flow of production and distribution," according to Guns.com, and gun enthusiasts are continuing to purchase assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition while they can.
2012 was already a record year for gun sales before the shooting in Newtown on Dec. 14, according to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, who recorded more than 16.8 million background checks for guns purchased this year. And since the FBI does not actually track the number of firearms purchased, the number of weapons sold could be even higher than the number of background-check calls, since customers can purchase multiple guns, according to USA Today.
