Given the public perception, I am a lone voice....
its all just so sloppy, and I reserve the right to exercise my grumpy old man about the idiotic public perception fed by stupid media that somehow everyones opinions matter. Accurate, relavent and competant opinions matter... the rest is just useless white noise, that demeans relevant contribution and promotes misunderstanding.
Now while firearms ownership is a legal right, I choose to think of it as both a priviledge and a responsibility. That promotes me to be careful and thankful for our legally recognised freedoms.
But don't let some knobby policeman tell me that my legal rights are a priviledge exercised at their discretion. Wrong, they are agent for society to ensure that I meet the requirements of the law in order for me to be granted my rights under the law.
The finer points of that are of course lost on the masses with opinions.
