Original Message "Need" is a dangerous word.

In the wrong hands, it can do untold damage.

We have had people telling us for decades that we don't need this kind of gun, or that kind of magazine or certain types of ammo.

What I am really being told in those circumstances is what other people want, not what I need.

They don't know what I need as they have never asked me. I suspect that they don't care much either.

Ya know...second amendment issues aside....the Constitution guarantees me "the pursuit of happiness". Pursuing happiness certainly involves having "things" in my life that I "need" to be happy.

When someone tells me that I don't need to own guns, they are deciding for me what will make me happy.

They are deciding for me on the basis of what makes them happy.

My own needs don't matter much to them.

Tell me why I should trust them to decide what I need.
