Gun Appreciation Day: What’s Largo Saying?

As Gun Appreciation Day approaches, people are lining up on both sides of the issue to state their opinions and make their stands.

The national movement is being recognized Jan. 19 as a call for gun supporters across the country to let Washington, D.C., know they don’t want their rights tampered with.

We recently asked people across the Tampa Bay area for their opinions about the movement. Here’s what Largo Patch readers had to say:

Charles Harbold: Why are we fighting for something that is already in our Constitution ? This America and we do still have some freedoms--for a while . Thanks to all who gave their lifes for this country and our freedom.

David: I believe it is like a driver's license. You gotta take a test and also be tested on occasion to keep the license current. Anyone with money can buy a gun but never gets checked out first.

Larry S: My guns have more than one purpose, the main one is protection from criminals who don't follow laws, so make all you want. The fact is most gun laws on the books now aren't enforced.
