The gun should be put in storage while these parents rot in jail. |

Same rules should apply for all irresponsible behavior of adults. Potential death can result of children who get access to you car, your meds, your alcohol, your kitchen knives, your toxic cleaning supplies. Let's be honest here. |

The va story was a kid in a daycare, right? The firearm was owned by a LEO trainee?
So much ch wrong with that story Yet again, "tragic accident" |
These are highly regulated and controlled. Let's apply the same rules to guns. |
Let me know when you need a background check or a car purchase, or register your bottle of Vodka. I'm not saying that we shouldn't have background checks or registration of guns, but comments like yours are plain silly and does not help move the conversation forward. |
DP. Will you agree that PP suggesting guns are no more dangerous than things like kitchen knives and cleaning supplies is also being silly and not advancing the conversation forward? I missed where you told that other PP not to make ludicrous arguments. |
Let's see.... You need to register your car. Pay taxes on your car. Take a driving test. Have a valid license. Have car insurance. Get an rx from a doctor. Rxs are researched and impact on health is evaluated. Drinking age is 21. I think each regulation here may be beneficial for guns. You never want to move the conversation forward so no need to discuss any of this with you. |
You already need license to purchase a firearm legally. I dare you to go to a local gun shop and try to purchase one while skirting the rules. |
Yeah, that would matter if there weren't a half dozen other ways to buy a gun other than a local gun shop. |
|
Half a dozen?
Really? Name them. |
DP. I'm also waiting to hear...... |
A shooting/gun license? Renewed periodically? Requires written & practical test? |
No, you don't need a license to purchase a firearm. The firearms dealer needs a FFL. You need to show some form of ID for the background check, but you don't need any special license to purchase, and in most jurisidictions don't need any kind of special license to own either. But that's only gun shops. Background checks and IDs aren't needed for private purchases, and millions of guns change hands that year every year. In most cases all one needs to do is ask around at a gun show and you will find someone willing to make a private sale. |
| ^ Will add that 80% of criminals who used guns in crimes were able to get them by exploiting all of the loopholes in the system, like private purchases and straw buys. The "criminals use stolen guns" line is a false narrative. |
