There's no doubt though that stricter gun control could've saved Kirk's life. Whether or not you think that is worth the attempt is another story. Personally, I believe people should have the right to defend themselves from a tyrannical government. But at the same time our forefathers didn't quite grasp what guns would advance to with today's technology.
Depends. Im absolutely against further weapon restrictions. Fully auto weapons are already illegal and there are new restrictions coming out daily. In fact I’d probably be murdered by law enforcement dying on that hill.
However a lot of great ideas have been mentioned on how to make sure more of the wrong people don’t get their hands on these weapons.
Some (but not all) of these ideas I liked include:
1. Stricter background checks. Currently criminal and NOT psychological history only factors in. I personally know a schizophrenic who legally owns a gun. That’s scary to me.
2. Clamp down on drugs.
3. Stricter laws on owning a firearm such as if you get caught with one not registered to you personally or your a felon and get caught with one the penalty needs to be much more than they get.
4. Classes. I don’t know if they still have these now but when I was a kid I had to take a gun safety class that included care, maintenance and handling training.
These are just a few there are a lot out there.
