Joe Perry of AeroSmith:
"I'm an advocate of gun rights," Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Joe Perry told G2 on Thursday at the Capitol Visitors Center, where he was appearing in support of Rock Stars of Science, an initiative to raise public awareness about health issues and to build support for setting scientific research as a national priority.
"I think that guns have been a part of our heritage," said the lead guitarist for Aerosmith, wearing a platinum-and-diamond revolver-shaped necklace.
"If we could start all over again, it would be great if there were no guns in the world," he continued. "It would be great if there was no war in the world. It would be great if evil people didn't do evil things to other people — but that's not the kind of world we live in, and history bears that out. Unfortunately, that's the way it is.
"It's nice to sit there and go, 'Let's take all the guns away.' Well, if you take the guns away, all the criminals will have guns because they're not going to turn them in. There are so many firearms in this country right now, and there are a lot of things that I think need to be adjusted as far as gun rights go, but the bottom line is it's a fact of life and it's something that we have to deal with."

Well, there's the proof that it isn't "Sex, and Drugs, and Rock and Roll" that makes stupid people.

A warped sense of reasoning, but at least as he balanced on the peak of the outhouse roof with icy shingles on both sides he didn't fall off the "wrong" side :-\
The only thing I can say is that it is better than if he had actually called for an out right ban and confiscation.

Isn't he a class 3 owner?
