We do have valid reasons for owning guns. It's called our 2nd Amendment right to bear arms. Nowhere in the Constitution does it say we need a "valid" reason to own a firearm. It also doesn't require a valid reason to protest, practice free speech or vote. People like you are scary. You think it's our governments right to dictate who can have a firearm, well, it is not. The 2nd amendment protects our right to bear arms to ensure our government never Denys us our freedom. Just because some idiot commits a crime doesn't mean all who own guns are somehow responsible.If you think all those other countries are so great then move, nobody is gonna stop you. Otherwise keep your hands of my rights.
