Oh, and I drive like a maniac, so I'd rather some pissed-off redneck not shoot at me when I cut them off.

Gun control does NOT work in Canada. Crime has skyrocketed since stronger legislation has passed. The same has happened in Australia, and England.
Next, I don't care if you don't need a gun. That isn't a point, so don't argue it. BTW, you don't have a right to shoot an intruder just because. Get your shit straight. Next, don't think that just because we allow guns in this country, you will get shot by a "redneck" in a dispute. Random fact of the day: In 1995, out of the few hundred thousand handgun owners in Florida, about 3 people got killed by a handgun in a traffic dispute. And I don't think they were all crimes either, but rather a defense. If you don't want a handgun for protection, fine, but don't give bullshit reasons and expect others to think guns are only for "Indians and Bears", and "being in a milita".
