[squeekness]

Mom and dad must be thrilled.

 

[Teelie]

Mom and dad are more than likely responsible for the kid getting a hold of a gun anyways.

 

[squeekness]

If so they need to be held accountable.

We need more to jump on that bandwagon.

That’s just great. Most gun deaths in America are done by someone the victim knew

Think of it as population control.

I'm fairly certain it can be proven scientifically that giving guns to wife beaters is a bad idea.

I'm not against regular people owning guns. I do think that, due to their potentially destructive nature, that they should be strictly regulated and gave the example of having a driver's license as an example; although I think more training and background checks are needed for gun ownership. Public carry is a more fuzzy issue for me. Should we allow guns in bars? I don't think I'd be for that. I think if the law allows public carry (which doesn't seem unreasonable to me IF you have made every effort to ensure only responsible citizens have them), I think it reasonable to have some restrictions on where they can be carried.

None of the above means that the decisions around the right to have firearms hasn't been screwed up by the decisions made, but adequate regulation can address a lot of the problems caused the the judicial branch.

Firearms are already heavily regulated. In addition to having an ID, you need to fill out a form and pass an FBI background check. Lying on these forms could get a potential buyer prison time. But, this only happens if the rule of law is enforced, which is a problem.

I've lived in two states(Washington and Florida). Both states prohibit the carrying of firearms around bars. Since restaurants have liquor licenses, this muddies the water a bit, but it's ok to carry if the primary purpose of the establishment isn't to serve alcohol.

It depends where you live and where you buy them. I still think there should be mandatory training you need to take on a semi-regular basis and a place where they can be safely stored.

My wife, for example, is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. To continue as licensed and her ability to be a therapist, she must take 36 CEUs every two years.
