Eh, either way the government should have more control over guns. Any old crazy redneck can just own a gun willy nilly, that's not right. But I don't wanna go into politics, mostly because I'm a blonde when it comes to them. 8D
There are already background checks in place for those who try to purchase guns. The problem is that these background checks do not check against is mental health history. The real way to prevent horrible gun violence is not just restricting felons from owning them, but to prevent the mentally unstable from getting their hands on them, too. But then the ultimate question arises: What would disqualify someone from purchasing or owning a firearm? What illnesses would affect my ability to get a gun? Would we all be subject to psyche evaluations if we have no previous mental health history? What standards would the evaluations be checked against? Would government take it a step further and try to label those with certain political mindsets as mentally unsound? It's like opening up Pandora's box, tempting government to keep trampling all over us.
Ah, gun control debates drive me wild, but you have the right idea. Most people just blather on about the *insert number here* Amendment's right that lets you own a gun. And after hearing what you have to say, I'm going to become neutral to gun control. It's too much of an open field with too many good points on opposite sides. But thanks for your thoughts. Sorry I wasted your time with my wishful thinking though.
