I am going to throw my two cents in here. As a responsible gun owner, I.E., guns kept under lock and key, ammo stored else where also under lock and key, I do agree that yes, more should be done. Mandatory background checks on EVERY perchase, be it from a gun shop, show or Wal-Mart, should be done. And if those checks are not done, heavy fines should be laid on the dealers. I was required to pass a background check when I bought my rifle and should I want to buy a pistol when I turn twenty-one I expect to have to pass another. Wyoming may be the least restrictive, but gun ownership is part of our culture. We hunt, we target shoot, and yes, some carry guns for protection. That is not something you can just "take away". Guns are ingrained in the American culture, and most if not all will not give that up without a fight. Look at Prohibition. People would not give up alcohol, what makes you think they would give up gun ownership?
Very nicely worded arguement, sums up my feelings rather nicely.Dorian Cornelius Jasper said:
