It is an individual right just like the right to free speech and the right to life. Take it away and you can forget the others. Great decision eh? Might want to check out what happens in countries where guns have been banned instead of just saying that. 
tidus2004 (Republican) - 12 months agoI agree with you.Gun control is being able to hit what you aim at.I hate trigger locks as well. Any handgun with a trigger lock on it is no gun it is a rock.I'm sure some a-hole who comes into your home will gladly wait for you to get it out of your lock box and take off the trigger lock to defend yourself. My handgun never has had a lock on it and never will.

Most steal them or buy them from someone who steals them.You could ban the ownership of all firearms and criminals would still have them.That is why we call them bad guys. They would have no fear if they were banned and crime would go up so fast it would make your head spin.

They would have no fear if they were banned and crime would go up so fast it would make your head spin Well a patient wher worked walked in a bout a rifle at a deptartment store and a mentally retarded guy walked into a gun store and bought another. The "crazy got cauight spotted by a staff and the "slow guy got killed by the police walking down the street pointing at passing cars. Not sure he was intelligent enough to know what a gun was. VMI shooter baught his gun at liscensed gun shop and I suspect the Pitt shooter did the sae. Glad you pointed out that many people just steal them.

I like my guns too but I hardly fear being required to be responsible. I'd say for a minimum one should pass a gun handling test and be required to report any gun theft to the police 
DrWord 8 months agopossession of a gun just like driving requires a license, hence it is a PRIVILEGE but doesn't the constitution say we have a RIGHT to bear arms and not PRIVILEGE?

"You are aware that buying in gun shows at least in my state avoids a background check? " Buying at gun shows does not avoid a background check, if you buy from a licensed dealer. All licensed dealers must do the background check regardless of where they sell from. The only way to avoid the background checks is by buying from a private individual. Private sales can occur anywhere and are not limited to gun shows. The gun show loophole is a myth, perpetrated by uninformed or lying individuals.

What is your opinion on Gun Control? I myself am a big fan of it, if you can't control your gun you can't hit anything with it.
