I've been a gun owner since the age of 10.

He was an executive and traveled frequently, sometimes for a month at a time. Around this time, my mom got some threatening phone calls,

I haven't fired (or even seen) my guns — the Ruger .22 and my West Point class pistol, a .45 — in years. Gun ownership sometimes settles into a lazy inertia; they're in my parents' house, out of sight and (except at times like this) out of mind. I have no particular urge to take them to the shooting range — no desire to do anything with them, in fact, but leave them where they are.

LOL it actually wants me to sign in to read that. I wanted to see how stupid it was :(
Behind the paywall———I’m not goin there.
That's all right. Your neglect may not be doing them any good, but stored under the right conditions, they won't come to any harm. And they will bear no resentment to you. So let sleeping guns lie.
Some tool decides that he doesn't need guns, and arrogantly believes that his decision should apply to society at large.
I think this gentleman should go to his inner city Chicago and hug a thug today. After all if you notice they are up to 484 murders this year. I think a man like he, unarmed can make a difference.
Just another candy-ass metrosexual.
Irritating that registration is required.
Sooooon, what’s this doing with an Army issue pistol in his possession? I’m thinking the ATF should be on his ase. But, probably a lib, so he’s good....

Nice meme.
Make it part of TwinkleToes Rahm's schtick in South Chicago.
So Bear, are you having problems? FIVE identical posts? But I’m with you—what’s a “West Point class pistol” anyway? The Army has never issued 1911s for an individual to keep after service. Did he steal it?

However - Those are mostly teen aged black children, not 6 year old white kids, and they're being killed at a slower rate. They apparently don't matter to liberals.
