A Reasonable Gun Owner

Neil Dickson owns a gun. But he says there should be tighter regulations, more gun control laws. On Monday afternoon, he voiced that concern to his congressman, U.S. Rep. Jim Himes, D-4.

"Ownership should be earned. It's a privilege," said Dickson, vice president and branch manager at Stamford First Bank. "Anybody can easily buy an automatic assault weapon. There should be required training and extensive background checks before people are allowed to own a gun." [More]
Really, Neil?  Anybody? Easily? Automatic?

Do you have any idea what an ignorant quisling you sound like?

Perhaps any gun owner who does business with Stamford First could explain it to you as he closes all accounts and takes them elsewhere.

Or explain it to your bosses...

NOTE: For some reason the paper decided to remove or relocate this story, so I relinked to Google cache.

"I got mine. F-- you and yours."
Civil war talk.

I guess the man? has a right to his opinion. What I'm most concerned with is whether or not U.S. Rep. Jim Himes, D-4, believed him.

If somebody at the bank has access to your public library or the internet I suggest you find a copy of the United States Constitution and its amendments (specifically the 2nd Amendment) and make that document available to Neil Dickson. He must have slept through that part of American history in high school.

Ask Mr Dickson to pay particular attention to the term "Shall not be infringed." And, to the period that follows the word "infringed".

Thank you,
