Why is there such a battle over gun control??? Why is this even an issue??
Here's the thing.... I own guns! I like to shoot guns. I'm all for hunting and protecting my home and self. I'm not asking you to give up your guns! I'm not asking to do away with the 2nd Amendment!
Here's what I'm not for.... kids getting killed! And especially kids getting killed at school!
Honestly, I don't think that a majority of the people want to do away with guns completely. They just want more common sense regulations placed on the acquisition of guns.
I should not be able to go sell my gun on the street to anyone without paperwork filed with the proper authorities! There should be a paper trail with every gun sale.
You know why.... Because then if a gun is used in a crime, it can be specifically pinned on the owner!
And why can't we link medical/mental health care to buying a gun? If someone is mentally unstable, they should not own a gun! Period!
Is there going to be a perfect solution...no. Probably not. Everyone won't ever be happy! But if it means my daughter won't go to school worried that she might not ever leave again, then it's better than what we have now!
Fingerprint scanners (cell phones even have these!), insurance, more training
These are just a few ideas I have! If people could sit down and discuss this without getting all butt hurt, then people could probably work together and come up with something! If people would quit bowing down to the NRA and their thoughts that anyone should be able to buy a gun, then maybe they could use their own brain to think more logically!
I understand that it's a process. I really do. But I also know that most people are not sensibly thinking this through!
In the United States, just since the 2012 Sandy Hook massacre, 7182 children have been killed by guns!!
Since 2001, 6915 US troops have been killed overseas in combat.
Neither are okay! But more children have been killed in 11 less years! Does this not bother anyone?? What if it was your child, or grandchild, or niece, or cousin? Would you look at it a little differently?
Common sense gun reform is necessary!! NOW! We have to work together to protect our future!
