I have owned a weapon since I was 11 years old. I took the NRA safety course in the Boy Scouts at 12. At 14 I shot my first deer and continued to hunt rabbit and quail until I went in the service. While in the Marines I fired competitively in two Division matches in Okinawa and Camp Pendleton received 16 Expert badges during time in service. I think I can consider myself a responsible gun owner. Here is what I believe about the 2nd Amendment: Everybody has a right to own a weapon but not everybody should have one without a thorough background check this includes removing HIPAA protection for mental health issues. I have weapons now and they service one purpose and that is the protection of my family and my property.
