| Mendicate Bias said: I just wanted to clarify that I'm not for banning guns but I do think there should be far stricter regulations than there are now. Machine Guns and assault weapons should be banned outright. Every person that buys a gun should have a criminal background check done on them and should be required to take a exam to show that they are competent in basic gun safety and are mentally stable. People should be limited to one gun a month to stop stockpiling which feeds the illegal gun market. Those are all reasonable suggestions but apparently I would be impeding on your oh so important rights if I made you wait a few days for a background check to be ran. |
Sorry but the 2nd Amendment doesn't work that way. "Shall not be infringed" isn't written in Mandarin. The Founders didn't want restrictions on the citizenry to bear arms.
You mentioned 'assault weapons', all of which shoot one round at a time. All semi-auto handguns fire at the same capacity, ban them too? Wanting more restrictions on gun ownership only benefits the drug traders, cuz they don't go thru background checks to buy/own theirs - they go thru the black market or steal them. Part of human rights is personal defense and when one has a right, how morally acceptable is it to regulate it?
NH has very loose gun laws and we have the safest state in the country, I can carry virtually everywhere unimpeded. I surely am disappointed about this youngster that shot herself and in fact the parents were irresponsible but the recent suggested feel-good laws regarding gun control take in-home inspections to verify. So, open up everyone's privacy to check on the minute few? That's how freedom in general is lost.
Anomalies will happen but gun control creates more of that.
