Every radio host i listen to admits to never owning a firearm. Why arent there any who do?
I know that someone will say because they can afford bodyguards, But dont you think someone who dosent own a firearm is indifferent to laws against right to bear arms?

Again, RADIO, not civilians. Ive herd Orilley and others literally laughing at the thought of them owning a firearm. to the tone of "I dont own a firearm! I have a family!"

Are you saying that just because someone believes in the right to bear arms they have to own a gun?
Having a right does not make excercising it mandatory. A woman can support abortion laws without having to have an abortion.

Traditionally, very few people actually OWN guns. Those who do, especially if they advocate right-wing doctrine, are generally lumped in with the "Paramilitary psycho" groups, and are considered mentally ill.
To get gun-owning celebrities, you'll have to look a little lefter on the spectrum. There you can find... ummm, well, there's Ted Nugent... I'm not sure he really sounds informed about the subject though, as I've only really heard his greatest hits album, where Guns are not a major topic of the lyrics. He does have a show though.
Also, the Right Wing is now being dominated by so-called Christians, who fear a "society of death." which includes abortion, and guns. Soon, Guns may become a leftist issue, as they traditionally are in Europe.

I don't neccessarily agree that they should be indifferent to laws against the right to bear arms, everyone is entitled to an opinion. I do understand what you are saying though. If these people feel that firearms are too dangerous to be around their family, why are they against laws that would restrict those weapons from being around their family. Did you know that the al-Queda training manual instructed terrorists to purchase assault rifles in the US, but Bush was against a bill that would have outlawed assault rifles.

No not at all
I do not own a conventional sporting style firearm. But I am in favor of owning electric rail-guns and high intensity laser weapons.
I also see nothing wrong with owing weaponized remote control airplanes and helicopters. If a unconstitutional government's agent came to your door you could launch a RC helicopter to survail him and determine if he is a threat to the Document's this Nation was Founded On.

Just because someone doesn't personally exercise a right doesn't mean they aren't entitled to advocate for it.
I may not have ever personally been tortured by the government, but that doesn't mean I won't speak out against torture (8th Amendment). I still have an opinion, even if it's not my own skin and blood hanging in the balance.

There can be serious legalities to owning a gun,even if has never been used.Most avoid personal posession of a gun for legal reasons.

So white abolitionists had no reason to advocate the release of black slaves?

you should put together a petition about what people are allowed to talk about.
