[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 662971, member: 1550"] Well, no, it isn't going to happen soon. I wouldn't say forever. There are many things we thought would never happen that have happened...gay marriage being the latest. I truly, as a child, never thought it would be legal in our lifetime. And I know the Second Amendment isn't going anywhere soon. The gun lobby is very strong. But that doesn't mean gun ownership is good or that it is making our country better. I don't think it is. Others do. That was the question, I think, not if it will be banned. As one who supported gay marriage very much, I have hope that there will be many changes for our grandchildren and great-grandchildren and beyond that we can't even imagine. And I'm sure things we can't imagine today could happen tomorrow. Right now, all I can do is not watch the news (I don't anymore) and not keep a gun (I don't and have never been robbed or attacked). So I'm going to climb back into my hole and agree that guns won't go anywhere soon. And that's all any of us know for now, plus we have our opinions. Neither me nor any of my kids ever carried any weapon, even a pocketknife. My husband does have a pocketknife. He opens envelopes with it. He quit guns after quitting the military. [/QUOTE]
