the only problem with your idea is... Owning a gun isn't a "Privilege". It's a Right.
Has the 2nd amendment become a suicide pact? To protect the rights of those who feel guns are absolutely necessary are we to make sure that everyone who wants a gun, no matter their background, gets a gun? Would we handle the hazards posed by any other deadly weapon so cavalierly?
Are there any other implements designed exclusively to kill that go unregulated? Certainly hazardous chemicals are such items. But aside from chemicals and guns, there are no other implements designed exclusively to kill, are there?
What common sense regulations should be applied to guns? Is there an absolute need for a gun that can fire more than ten rounds in a few seconds? Are they used for hunting game? If so, why do they call hunting a 'sport'? The truth is, such weapons were designed for warfare, not sport. Should weapons designed for warfare be on our streets? If so, why? Why should the public health and safety take a back seat to those who see the 2nd amendment as the
only amendment that should not contain some restrictions?
Again, California has some of the most restrictive laws on the books when it come to firearms.. One handgun per month purchasing, no private sales, doesn't accept out of State Conceal Permits, 10 round limits on Magazines... What more "reasonable" or "Common Sense" restrictions do you want?
What do you tell the woman who is confronted with a rapist that she only has Five or Six rounds to protect herself with?
What do you tell the parent who is confronted with a home invasion by a group that they only have five or six rounds to protect their family with?
Remember the woman who shot a home invader six times and he walked out of the house? Suppose there had been a second home invader?
How many rounds do you want to limit yourself to when it comes to defending your life or your family's lives?
How many rounds to you want to limit the women in your life to when it comes to protecting themselves or their children to?
