id never say people shouldnt have guns. its a right we're all entitled to. some just like shooting target practice, others like hunting, some might just be collectors.
what i DO feel needs to be done is to ensure that guns arent so easy to get.
cars, like in my above example, are pretty frickin hard to get a license for. it involves becoming educated, learning responsibilities, being tested in two different standardized aspects, and overall, taking a month at minimum. and thats just getting the APPROVAL to get a car, it has nothign to do with the hassle of getting the car, itself.
guns should be no different!! if you want to collect them or hunt with them, fine, thats your right. but, you should be held accountable for it. each gun should have to be registered, just like a car. you should be forced to get insurance on these guys, and pay insurance costs, just like a car. you should be forced to take standardized written tests on gun laws, in addition to being forced to practice using and safely storing the gun.
i dont think thats too much to ask. it doesnt prevent anyone who really wants a gun from getting a gun. but it just might prevent someone, who's not really thinking clearly about it.
