I carry a .380 pistol with me most of the time but I only own three guns myself. I also consider myself to have many Democratic views when it comes to gun policy and Republican views with taxes & business aspects.
I personally think it should be MUCH harder to purchase a firearm than it is. When I purchased my new glock, I ordered it online at Gander Mountain and walked into the store, they did a quick background check and I walked out in 10 minutes. It was great to me as a consumer and easy. BUT, what if I was angry or in the heat of the moment and wanted to harm people. Now that easy gun purchase allowed me to walk out the same day with a deadly weapon. I do not think our government is trying to take guns away as the crazy Republicans like to lie about. I do think we should have much stricter gun control though to keep the nutty people from having easy access. All that is going to do is make it take longer to purchase a legal firearm, which I am perfectly fine with if it prevents even one shooting death or mass shooting. If there's other policies being proposed that can help limit access to guns, I'm all for it if it still allows me to purchase a pistol to carry legally and a shotgun to go hunting. I don't believe I should be allowed to own a machine gun type weapon for use at my home. Weapons like that should be allowed only at shooting ranges and locked up under heavy security. They do not belong at a residential home anywhere for sport or home protection. So anyway, I think there are gun nuts out there that like to walk around while open carrying and say Obama is trying to steal all our guns. I think they're crazy and need a bonk on the head to come to your senses. Try acting normal and conceal your weapon, don't talk like a crazy gun nut and try to realize you don't need a machine gun. The government's job is to protect as many citizens as possible. That means more laws, more enforcement, and more compliance. We can't easily identify and stop all people who will commit a shooting crime. We can more easily target guns themselves and prevent the sale of them to as many "bad" people as possible. For "good" and legal people who want to buy one, stop complaining about gun control and embrace it in order to help save lives. Gun control isn't meant for good people, only the bad people. You'll still be able to buy any weapon you "need" in order to hunt or protect your home.
