A simple rule, making the selling of guns something that was regulated by the local police. Would reduce the number and power of guns held by people who clearly have no right to own one. You need a license to drive a car, own a dog, sell hot dogs on a corner. So why not owning a gun, with an annual inspection that the owner is still capable?
And when people on Terrorist Watch Lists are able to walk into a gun store and buy as many as they can afford. You know the time for change is past.
What are the checks made before a person can buy a gun? Mentally ill, criminal, has a history of violence, has a family with issues, suspected terrorists, etc. Or just a driving license?
A question this big has to be discussed in greater terms than. Men in fear of the British, French, Indians, Bears, Wolves said everyone had a right to own a musket. so now I can own as many assault weapons as I choose, with huge magazines of armor piercing bullets. Is my right.
Well, it's not otherwise your right would include owning a machine gun to mount on your car like this. Instead of hanging it on the rack on your pick up.
