We will never change each other's minds on some things. As CFrance so perfectly explained, our attitudes toward these issues are formed for a variety of reasons. In Ohio where I grew up, people hunted game and my grandfather was a police officer for 37 years and never used his gun.
The only people I ever knew who had guns before moving here were people who hunted.
This is a new issue for many of us.
Many people who I respect here have guns.
I think how we feel about it personally rests a lot on our own history.
