Re: The 2nd Amendment Thread
Without reading the thread ... I dont own guns (bc of my medical marijuana card) but would own one for home protection and going to a gun range every now and then sounds fun. Ive gone shooting a bit.
I think people in Montana or Georgia should have guns. Go in the woods or the range or the desert. Do your thing, live your life.
I think most gun restriction laws would just impact regular law abiding citizens and not effect criminals with guns at all.
Mass shootings - Mental health issue. I think maybe a 2 week waiting period for gun purchases would be good (this is where people tell me theres already a 2 week waiting period). It wouldnt stop all or even most mass shootings but some of these were done by guys who just bought the guns a few days earlier.
If someone is going through a mental health breakdown or episode ... 2 weeks might give them a long enough cooling period or maybe friends or parents get concerned.
everyday criminal shootings - i think theres just way to many guns being made and pumped into the supply chain. These things are made to last 10-20 years.
398 MILLION guns in the US as of 2018. We manufacture btw 8-10 million new guns a year. Our streets are just saturated with guns. We are flooded with guns and they just keep making new ones.
------------
1. 2 week waiting period
2. Dont allow prosecutors to drop the 5 yr mandatory minimum for "use of gun in commission of violent crime" and "illegal possession"
3. Cap gun manufacturing or make it a one off .. for every gun made an old gun must be destroyed. (this will probably never happen ..)
