It's a good time to be a gun owner in America. While a lot of people like to complain about restrictive laws and politics or the anti gun groups, just look at what we have now compared to just 10 years ago.
First, we no longer have the Clinton assault weapons ban. We also have the recently passed gun manufactures lawsuit protection act. Brazil voted down a bill just this past week that would have banned almost all civilian owned guns there which if passed, would have been used as a stepping stone to pass similar laws in other countries (including here in the US). Compared to 10 years ago, look at the number of states that now have CC/right to carry laws. Also, look at the improvement in ammo, weapons and gear that has occured and the new guns and calibers that are now available at prices that won't send most of us to the poor house.
There are other things that need to be done and as a gun owner things could still be much better, but these alone should be enough to make most gun owners sit up and rather than talk about the "good old days", consider the fact that compared to what things were like just a few short years ago, these ARE the good old days! Yes, I dare say if I were to look back on what life as a gun owner was like in the 90's or even as recently as 2001, it is a very good time to be a gun owner.
