| Marks said: I'd love a world without guns, but since that won't happen anytime soon, I'd rather more good law-abiding citizens have guns so they can defend themselves from the law-ignoring citizens with guns. |
I agree but would want more testing to see who is mentally able to own a gun. Gun control is always taken to, "there going to take our guns". No thats not what any one is saying. The NRA fear tactics have worked and brain washed people into thinking this right off the bat. A big portion of the guns used in chicago street crime are bought in stores in the suburbs and most guns can't be traced. So I would have to say that a majority of guns are sold with out question. We need better regulation to not sell to the criminals. So this seems to not enter people's minds. We legally sell the guns to criminals. So why is this happening? We should be making it harder for them to get and effectively only allowing the good law-abiding citizens to own them.
