Gun Ownership

* Whether gun ownership is a constitutional right has very little to do with a person’s need or desire for a gun.

I have lived my long, eventful life without even thinking about owning a gun. It has been obvious to me since the age of two that guns are for killing--mainly people and animals.

A few questions I must ask:

* The Ventura County fairgrounds promotes gun shows several times each year. Why?

* Our government favors and protects arms manufacturers. Why?

* The entertainment industry continually displays weapons being used for violence, show upon show portraying mayhem as a way of life. Why?
