Firearms. Who or what is dangerous?

Interesting. 2 hang ups from an area code in TX.

Ok, completely off topic, but...are you serious with that screen name, Guy??

Perhaps he should change it to David Koresh?

I am sure that you don't consider it unreasonable to be expected to have a license to drive a car, or have to take a test to drive that car. After all, sometimes we have to take a bit of hit to protect others. If those others are children, then it really is a no brainer.

Again, you say one thing and use an example of the other.

Do you need a drivers license to buy a car? NO!

It is people you want to track, even if you can't see it.

You need a license to use it, sure..and in the UK and Canada when you buy a car records are kept on who owns the vehicle. Which is not the case with private gun sales, which is part of the problem. So you are wrong. Cars are tracked.

You also need to prove you are competent to use it. As it is hard to conceal and carry a car a license is sufficient to ensure that cars aren't used by people in an irresponsible way and that you are accountable for what you do with your car.

You have got to be kidding right? Cars are never used irresponsibly? Every time you read the news you read about some unlicensed, uninsured, unregistered ,uninspected or any combination you can think of. Has caused an accident and killed or maimed some innocent.

I see how well regulations for cars and drivers works.

Are you telling me that car keys aren't concealable? Are you telling me that boozers don't drive? Are you telling me it is impossible to buy a car from a private party and never bother to have a license or register the car?

Are you telling me it is impossible to steal a car? I don't think you are. If you are simply saying the car draws more visibility than the keys, then an bushmaster AR-15 with a 30 round magazine draws a lot more visibility than a lorcin l25, but which are you trying to ban?

I don't think the NRA has an issue with gun safety classes. I think they offer them. Frankly I don't know of any NRA member who would want someone who is incompetent standing next to them at the firing line of the range.

I don't think the NRA has an issue with limiting access to convicted felons. I don't think they have an issue with limiting access to "crazy" people. (Clear and present danger to themselves or others.) They have an issue with waiting periods. (Fund the check method for instant pass/fail.)

Once you admit the real issue is a people control issue you will find there is a lot of common ground to build something sensible that can work to reduce access of weapons to persons who should not have them.

Considering how many cars are on the road these regulations have worked extremely well.

Gun deaths in America projected to soon top car fatalities

"The fall in traffic deaths resulted from safer vehicles, restricted privileges for young drivers and seat-belt and other laws, he said. By contrast, "we've made policy decisions that have had the impact of making the widest array of firearms available to the widest array of people under the widest array of conditions." While fewer households have guns, people who own guns are buying more of them, he said."

Practically every household in the US has a car, not every house hold has a gun, yet we are looking at gun deaths topping car deaths.

Germany initiates gun registry, to barely a peep

... In 2012, in the US alone, 1.2 MILLION unborn children were hacked apart and discarded like trash ...

Based on studies by Bloomberg, Now there is an unbiased opinion. NOT.
I can see some reforms do need to be made. The first one is to prosecute every idiot who breaks a gun law. Right from illegal possesion, to using one in a crime. Those laws are on the books allready. ENFORCE THEM!!!!

Free men do not need guns

Only the paranoid need guns
