I don't know about you buddy but that sounds like "Infringement" right there.
The problem is not the guy who will go into a gun shop and fill out the NICS paperwork. The problem is the guy buying a High-Point for 50 bucks out of the back of a ford econo-line van.
Making it harder for law abiding citizens to obtain firearms is not the answer, enforcing the laws that we already have on the books is the answer.
Punishing people for their crimes is the answer. I am a law abiding citizen, I have broken no laws, I am a concealed handgun permit holder. Why should I have to take a class to purchase a gun? Maybe we should make people take a class to purchase illegal drugs... oh, wait... can't do that due to the fact that the ones causing the problems are obtaining them ILLEGALLY. -
Are we REALLY sick and tired of all of this gun violence that we see? I know I am. As an activist for a less violent world, the way I see it is that we have a great deal of work to do in order to reduce all of this gun violence and it's not going to happen unless we take action and take it NOW.
What should we do? well whoever is serious and wants to actually do SOMETHING instead of nothing, the first step on the ladder begins in our very own homes, the second in our classrooms, via non-violence/conflict resolution classes.
We need to educate our children on how to treat one another with respect, understanding and tolerance and we need a complete mindset change as we relate to relying upon guns and for that matter ALL lethal weapons to solve our problems and our differences. We need to replace lethal weapons with less than lethal weapons until guns filter down to where they become merely objects to be found in history books and collections. This is the ONLY way less people will be maimed and/or killed and our future generations will be able to perpetuate this beautiful planet that we so cherish.
If I could re-write the 2nd Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, this is precisely what I would love to see:
"We, the people of the United States, in order that we shall have the right to preserve a State free for all races, shall achieve this end by the use of less-lethal weaponry only for our continued survival as human beings. This free State entails our personal self-defense as well as our right to our food consumption. In keeping with current government law, if we so choose to possess a less-lethal weapon (be it either upon our persons or within our private homes), we are obligated to store these aforementioned weapons plus any ammo relating to its use in a manner which will serve to protect the welfare of a minor child."
