Yeah but it's so easy to get a gun that's why the streets are flooded with them. When I was in high school a kid bought a gun on our school bus that he purchased for $5. He planned to kill another student but was turned in by someone else. The fact that guns are so easy for anyone to get should be a major concern for folks.
How about actually trying to enforce them first, and see if they could possibly work. That seems to be a bit more logical than repealing them or passing new laws that may or may not be enforced.
Who is it that isn`t enforcing the laws? Question #2: Are the laws enforceable?
I'm saying overall it's to easy to get a gun period. Anyone who wants one can get one, criminal or not. When you have every walmart and local pawn shop selling them of course they are easy to get.
Every person that goes to walmart and pawn shop still has to fill out the correct forms....
In a state like GA YES, they are easy to get both legally and illegally. In a place like DC not so much.
The problem is it's mainly legal gun dealers who are illegally selling them.
I call BS on that. In GA to legallly purchase a handgun the buyer has to fill out a form (4473 , I think thats the number) and has to go thru a background check. Just like I do here in MI. The only difference though is in MI if I do not have a CPL I have to have a purchase permit.. something that only takes a few days to get. Both states if you have a valid CPL a background check is not required. That and my state requires the handgun to be registered.
I couldn't find anything on long guns or person to person sales.
Someone suggested that we have "armed " guards in the schools. This would save a kid the trouble of smuggling a gun into school and it would give a child access to a gun if mommy and daddy don`t have one at home. Stupid idea indeed! A week doesn`t go by that an "armed" cop isn`t gunned down. Does this help?
How DARE you go against obama...you shold be ashamed of yourself...
Just to add to what you 2 are saying. I really don't get this crazy philosophy that further restrictions on guns, or doing away with the 2nd Amendment is magically going to get the criminals to stop committing violent crimes or murder. It is a progressive utopian pipe dream! Restrictions on guns or attempting to ban them outright will do nothing but hurt law abiding citizens, and do nothing to stop criminals from getting them and committing crimes!
I like the 2nd amendment but I think the gun owner should let the authorities know which well regulated militia he trains with and the name of his commander so it can be verified.
We should give guns to children so they can defend themselves.
Right here is why the left can never have a honest conversation about guns....they could care less...
Oh, and lets not forget, it's for the children, unless their is an election coming up....
Sick and pathetic...but way to go...
