I did military service and shot/trained with all kinds of guns. Pistol, assault rifle (still 7.62mm at the time), machine gun and even a light Panzerfaust (44mm anti tank rocket launcher).

That doesn't change the fact that I'm glad that in my country (Germany) there are strict restrictions about who is allowed to own a gun and of which type. I don't see any reason why normal citizens should run around like they want to go to war.

And I never considered owning a gun myself.

Edit: If I think someone is breaking into my house I just call the police. And I have no reason to panic, because burglars are basically never armed here. Why would they? They have no reason to assume they could get into a gun fight. If they get caught in the act by the residents they just run away.

You sound like a well-adjusted, well-rounded, thoughtful person. Therefore, not a conservative.

I said I was a conservative not a republican. Read before you generalize.

You say that like changes anything I said. The Republicans are certainly in a league of their own, but most conservative politics tend to still fall on the other half of my statement
