To put my two, "recently ex-GOP" cents in about gun control:

I love guns, but they need to be respected. The problem isn't the gun, but the lack of respect people have for what guns are.

Growing up, my Dad had respect for guns, he taught me the same. Now, he carries them like they are toys, and it scares me because of what he taught me.

I used to be against gun control, but now I support it because of people like my Dad. People like him are losing touch with reality, they shouldn't have guns.
