This topic, GUNS; this is I think, the fourth or fifth time, I've posted this, or another similar, hoping against hope, after yet another tragedy, for 21st Century updated gun rules, laws, and regulations.
I've never wanted to infringe on somebody's right to own a gun, to keep at home for safety.
However, I question the rationale, but I also question the rationale of owning a fast car or a super large house, when you have to work most of the 24/7 to pay for each.
Having a gun for personal safety, without training and regular practice... most of us are not Angelina and Brad in Mr. & Mrs. Smith; nor are we Denzel in The Equalizer. But, if you want a gun at home, fine.
Handgun, fine; hunting rifle or shotgun; fine. Is it too much to ask for one to have a license, and required renewal's every year, complete with physical, mental, eye exam, etc. As well as one for all, who have access to it?
To drive a car, you must go through getting a license, have money to purchase a car as well as insurance; and a car's raison d' etre (reason for existence) is transportation.
Why is it such a bother, to ask for sense for an instrument is made for killing? Killing still is illegal, isn't it?
