However, I think there should be limits to who owns them and how easily they are distributed/obtained though. Why would that hurt? Why are so many people reacting sensitive to stricter gun laws, if they actually have nothing to fear?
As we can see in other countries, that helps a lot bringing the numbers of gun related victims down. Not sure why this is a bad thing... |
I won't argue with stricter background checks. As long as you will go along with my proposal: stricter, longer mandatory sentencing when someone commits a crime with a gun, assault (with or without a gun), robbery, burglary, battery, arson, DWI, domestic violence, and rape, to name a few. If you can agree to 20 years minimum, no parole, I would be happy to go along with stricter limits and checks.

I love the old man that works in there, thought they may gonna rob him. I have a AR in my extended cab, but didn't bring my phone. I did get it, stepped out when his back was turned and drew down on him. He was probably 20ish. I did say I was police for effect. He did turn when I yelled, but followed commands and I was being very very forceful. I was more worried about a car load of friends, but had cover. Anyway, police were called, turned out to be a damn pellet pistol, although very real like. However, the SUV had a few guns in it and I think most had warrants.
Not sure it was so smart of me or not. Anyway, a detective supposed to come talk to me today, hopefully I won't have to get further involved as I don't need my name out.

That happened last night? Whew, well, you may get some heat from the law for impersonating a cop. I think I would have called the police and waited and watched. My training is pretty clear, citizens should not attempt to use their concealed carry weapons unless their safety or property is in jeopardy. Pretty brave of you, none the less.
