i get tired of seeing all these people talking about dropping gun control. that is absolutely insane. we need much stricter gun control laws that allows only the right people the opportunity to carry guns. its simple. you should go through a very strict and in depth background check, not just to see if you are a felon or not. only responsible people should carry guns, plain and simple. you shouldnt be able to walk into a gun show and buy any gun you want without a background check (like at columbine). you shouldnt be able to buy military style assault weapons. i would never advocate taking away guns, but how can anyone argue that we dont need strict gun control laws? do you think any joe smith should be able to have one? how in the world would that help? wouldnt that cause MORE gun crimes because people that normally wouldnt have access to guns all of a sudden can go to any gun store and walk away with one.

Just think about it. Whenever you hear about gun crimes it’s always NYC, Chicago, Boston, Newark and places like that. You never hear about those kind of things in the Midwest and areas with gun rights.

Why is it that the US (and particularly the media) is so bent on gun control? Every news story about a shooting is followed by the obligitory 2 minutes of what the media’s opinion is… drivel about the brady bill and mental patients buying guns etc etc…

Why aren’t we passing laws to punish those who use guns in crimes? Currently in most states if you pull a gun on someone during a crime but don’t shoot them you get a very mild sentance. Why not punish those people, instead of the ones who use guns properly? You pull a gun during a crime, you get 20 to life. Bam, gun crimes go down.

Much easier than repealing the 2nd amendment, which would take an act of God or a deafeningly overwhelming public outcry (as in not gonna happen in our lifetimes).
