No one has brainwashed me. I do think for myself. I am neither anti gun or pro gun, I am simply in favor of common sense being used to dictate who, and how, guns are sold to the general public.
Gun laws, be they background checks, a Federal database, or required proficiency training should be part and parcel of the privilege of owning a firearm.
Those are my thoughts and beliefs, not someone elses. And they are based on common sense, the number of gun fatalities in this country, and the easy access to firearms in America. I am not in favor of banning AR-15's or other semi automatic rifles, however, they should only be sold to people who have proven they are responsible and qualified enough to own them.
Again, simply common sense.
I think that the bolded words are about giving the Obama people an easy street to who has what and how many. What do you actually think about it?
"Common sense" is so often used by anti-gunners, IMO translates to something like--I don't have a cogent and reasoned argument to support my position, so instead I'll just slap a handy-dandy label of 'common sense' on it, and call it good.
I've posted this many times before, but why not one more...real "common sense" would look for some regs that might have conceivably prevented Sandy Hook, the incident that provoked all the debate. How would universal background checks or training requirements have prevented Sandy Hook? They wouldn't have. In fact the Sandy Hook shooter reportedly tried to buy a gun and couldn't. Presumably his mother went thru a NICS check when she bought her guns. So we already had background checks in place, and they did nothing. Plus, the shooter was reportedly well-enough trained, so it is tough to see how that would have mattered.
