In most states, and historically in all of the US, there is no permit to own a gun.  Historically, there was no permit to carry a gun, although most states have no enacted such permits.

Society changes, and theoretically should become more civilised. With modern law enforcement there's no need for ordinary people to have such easy access to guns.

So is such states, such as New Hampshire, Vermont, Maine and so on, a legal gun owner is someone that is legally allowed to own a gun.    This may mean no felonies on a person's record or no history of failing psychiatric evaluations.

Not good enough. This person should have to take a psychiatric evaluation before he's aloowed to own a gun. Things like the person's temper should be tested. And the person should have to take classes in order to learn how to use a gun before he's given a license and allowed to own one. Guns are dangerous. They're purpose is to harm or kill.

In the US, people are born with the right to own a gun.  Apparently, it is a right that can be removed but a right nontheless.  Owning a gun isn't like owning a TV, a car or a cell phone.  Those aren't rights.

And neither should owning a gun be a right. As I said, it's unnecessary in today's society.

The New Hampshire system isn't retarded.  In fact, I don't think that it legally goes far enough.  I don't think the gun laws in any of the US states are in line with the 2nd Amendment of the US Consitution just yet.  Hopefully in 10 years or so there will be a lot less gun laws in the US in general and NH too.

Form the sound of things this 2nd Amendment is archaic, and quite frankly retarded. Hopefully in 10 years there will be strcter laws, so that you gun lovin' American wackos don't kill eachother.

I understand you aren't from a place that prides itself as the most free place in the world, but that's what meaning of us are trying to do in NH.  It's understanding about you have so much faith in government and put safety before rights.  Where I come from, rights come first.  That's how I was able to defeat the proposed seat belt law in 2009 in NH.  Can you believe some people in government, they actually wanted to ticket adults if they didn't wear a seat belt in a car?  Heck, our state motto is Live Free or Die.  Many of us take it seriously.

You mean it's not illegal to not wear a seatbelt while driving? What's next? Being able to drive drunk? Being able to drive without a license? Being able to kill people? Your motto should be "Live Free, Die Like an Idiot". You can keep that freedom. With your perverse view of "freedom" and "rights" I suggest you moved to some remote place, outside of scoiety, where you'd be all alone and be able to live as "free" as you like. Many people take the ideea of living in a society seriously, and don't act like infantiles.
