I'll be honest, I wasn't aware that the United States had "ultra socialists" of any impact.
But that just goes to show what I know, I suppose. Unless, of course, it's just the latest Boogeyman created entirely by the extreme right to justify its... existence, I guess. __________________

People who collect guns baffle me.

Yeah, the gunman at Newtown?
His entire arsenal had been bought legally by his mother. Of course, however careful she may have been with her stockpile didn't wind up mattering very much in the end. __________________

You can't be careful with a gun. How can you gingerly fire a bullet? lol. The fact is that when you make the decision to buy a gun (unless you're a collector) you are making the decision that if you have to, you will kill someone. I could never bring myself to that mental level and I don't know how so many people can.

Well, I've known a lot of gun owners and, honestly, the laws in Canada are such that being careful was indeed part of the deal.
Of course, the laws here used to be quite stringent in that regard. Point is, I could never relax around firearms, but I can't judge people who do. It is just my opinion that no civilian household needs a weapon that isn't used for hunting animals, by which I mean a shotgun or the like. Automatic riffles have no place in a civilian household. Anything that makes it easier to shoot has no place in a civilian household. That's just my opinion, of course. __________________

No one needs an assault rifle cept for military. You can't use it while hunting unless you want instant puree. I'm uncomfortable around guns, too. Advertising you have a gun is, in my head, saying "i'm capable of murder if need be".

I wouldn't feel comfortable at all with a gun in my home either. Especially when there are kids around, too...

Weapons are inherently dangerous.
The only way to be careful with gun ownership is to go out of your way to create safety. I don't believe the U.S. laws are quite there, to be honest. And, again, I say that with all due respect to U.S. gun owners who go the extra step to be safe. But, at the end of the day, it's kinda like sex, isn't it? The only way to 100% prevent pregnancy and STIs is abstinence. The only way to prevent gun accidents is to have no guns. __________________

And, of course, too many stories of kids using their parents' guns to commit horrendous acts of violence.

These are just not the kind of items supposed to be kept around our youngest in my view

I'm not sure how anyone could disagree with that statement.
