    don't want to quibble over semantics, but...

    The word "sacred" primarily decribes holiness or divinity, so it kind of bothers me that that word is used to describe gun ownership. I doubt that God, in any way you wish to understand Him/Her, smiles down on Americans' obsession with guns. Personally I'm fairly liberal and i also support gun ownership, but "sacred"? Get your priorities straight!
