In my opinion.
Gun control is very good.
If it is not in control then every day there will be people dead due to guns.
Tightening or liberalization of the rules for obtaining a license for weapons is only for politicians. It is not possible to speak about the economy, they affect the second amendment to the U.S. Constitution. The weapon is an integral part of American society and never allow politicians to take it from the population.
I hope, that you are right, but never take your privileges for granted. Much of Europe used to be the same way, individual rights stripped away piece by piece by socialists.
Do you know, you would get arrested for pocket knife in Germany? Germany...
Trust me, liberal leftists are no better in America, than they are in Europe. They have the same aims.
I'm all for protecting myself with guns against other people who might use guns against me
I agree, but its not just that.
"God made man but samuel colt made them equal."
Simple pistol can erase any advantage, that 300 pound attacker would have over 100 pound woman.
I strongly believe that every man has a right to protect themselves against to people who poses danger to them. Though I am in favor with gun control since the government should be serious about who should own a gun and those should not. But when you say banning guns then that would not be right since those people who received it (legally) undergo with the proper ways and needed skills with physical and mentally able.
But I believe that those who really want guns especially those who have a bad intention can acquire it without the approval of the government by hook or by crook. The issue really is to trace the origin of this unlicensed guns and put to justice those guys who have been selling it illegally.
