There are many with guns that aren't law abiding citizens as evidenced by all the violence.
There are far more law abiding citizens with guns than there are criminals with guns. Ironically, every single piece of gun control legislation which was proposed after Sandy Hook was aimed at reversing those numbers.

Then the gov't should concentrate on confiscating the illegal guns not those that have legal permits. The states set the rules on gun ownership - here in NY, there are background checks and waiting periods - if someone in the gov't screws up and gives a legal permit to someone who is mentally unstable - don't blame all gun owners or manufacturers - blame the gov't.
I knew pretty much nothing about guns, gun laws, etc, and started getting interested due to the debates. I thought it was no big deal to make illegal entire types of common firearms. I thought the AR-15 was a big scary automatic killing machine.
But then.
I learned that these gun control laws simply infringe the constitutional rights of law abiding citizens, and do
nothing to reduce gun violence. That many firearms are vilified for no factual reasons.
Whats wrong natalie, don't like being proving wrong.
