So, what you're saying is...those of us us who own guns...were poor, discriminated against, beat up, and/or deprived...and on top of all that, feel oppressed? Unless I'm interpreting this wrong, I beg to differ. I own guns because I like guns. I own guns to hunt with. I own guns, because, well, like MarcM said, I can. I happen to condone carry laws. It sends a message to the criminals that carry weapons illegally, that the average, law abiding citizen, can finally level the playing field.
