Most of us who support gun control measures do not see gun owners as you self report to be the problem. And most of us responsible supporters of rational gun laws do not support the repeal of the 2nd A. We want people properly vetted.
I for one want to see all gun owners licensed and all guns registered on a State by State basis. Let Texas do what they want, and allow California citizens to vote to license and register or not.
In fact I'd grandfather in all current gun owners and not require that they be licensed or register their guns, the only restriction being they could only sell their gun to a licensed person or dealer, and could only buy an additional gun or guns if they became licensed and registered their new gun along with those already owned by them.
So someone gets more rights than me because they got there first?
Again, I don't trust any more gun control legislation while my rights in NYC continue to be infringed.
Why should it take me 3-6 months and $1000 to get a handgun permit for my own home?
Why? Because it's the law. Move to Texas if this upsets you so. There you can parade around the streets with your beloved gun on your hip & be free from the law you oppose.
This whole damn thread exist because you are trying to take that right away from everyone. Why don't you ******* regressives move your asses to States that have laws you support and leave the rest of us alone? Thank for showing you true face, hypocrite.
You can read and comprehend, thus you've proved to be a liar.
I've said this about gun control
- States should decide if they want to license gun owners
- States should decided if they want to register guns
- States should decide on the factors to deny, suspend or revoke a license
- States should decide on the types of weapon to be prohibited
- States should decide on open carry, concealed carry and other forms of transport of guns
- States should decide if guns are allowed in parks and other public places
- States should decide if Cities or Counties can impose stricter rules on gun storage or possession outside the home or business
I don't care what you do in Texas, and rural regions can and should have different gun laws than cities.
I believe any sober, sane and law abiding citizen can have a gun to protect his home or business. Beyond that, guns need to be controlled by whatever democratic process the citizens of the State, region or community decide.
