EVERYBODY is pro-gun, some just don't know it. When an anti-gun person is in trouble, the first thing they do is call 911 and demand that they send somebody with a gun! "Turdlike".... in record time

I can't say that "I Need" anything more than it or a .357 Magnum where I hunt! Same same with .300 savage. It sure is fun too looney about with various other guns though!!
