I could never hunt or shoot an animal either, although I eat them. I don't even like going to a butcher shop and seeing them hanging and gutted. :( I'm not sure I could kill another person, even if my life depended on it. We can never know unless we're placed in the situation. "Any type of public revolt." You know when Obama was first elected there was a huge panic amongst gun owners. Ammunition and gun sales soared because people feared tighter controls would immediately be implemented. Yet little has changed with respect to guns during his administration.
