Unfortunately, my friend, you are the one with flawed logic. You sound like a 10 year old. "Screw you mom, I can do whatever I want, it's a free country!"
No, I think it is your logic that is sadly flawed. It IS a free country, and if someone wants to spend their free time with a firearm doing whatever hobby they enjoy, that is their right to do so. The bottom line for gun owners is they look at their firearms as a source of fun and even sustenance in their lives (for hunters). In order for a firearm to become dangerous, a person has to either be ignorant of safe operation, or have intent to use it on someone else, and that is why we take safety courses and go through background checks in order to be able to purchase one.
