then the police, doctors, qualified officials can determind if they should have a gun. Or... if the house or car should be searched to find their gun.

Yes I think there should be regulations. Just like there are regulations to drive a car. Regulations to practice medicine.

regulations to serve food to the public.

We have regulations or licenses for many things. Why not guns.

I have worked in LA County rehab and they had 90 beds of spinal injuries, 90 beds of brain injuries.
60 bed for both of children

i have seen all kinds of gun injuries. many weren't the intended victim. a 3 year old paralyzed. A father of 6 who was quadraplegic, a 17 year old who was training to swim in the olympics ended up paralyzed. Vegetated state of someone because of being shot in the head Some there it wasn't the 1st time they were shot. One guy I worked with (therapy) it was the 4th time.. this time he was paralyzed. a young mother who's fetus was killed and she ended up paralyzed. It is more than killing people.

I have had a cousin who's gun was used against him by a friend and his mother had to make the decision to take him off life support because he was brain dead. my cousin like to go target practicing with his dad. Now he followed the law he just had a jealous and addict friend. My cousin did everything in the law.. so he story isn't what we are talking about gun laws.

I had a friend who was also my boss killed by her husband and then he killed himself. He had depression and was going on and off his meds. Another co-worker had a boyfriend who often beat her.. and even after he choked and the police came to the home as he had her against the wall.. and she was 8 months pregnant.. they gave him back his 3 guns after he spent 2 nights in jail. they were in their mid twenties and she had 3 year old and they lived in a trailer in a trailer park. I moved about 6 months after my boss was killed and don't know whatever because of the abused girl. We all worked a driver's license station..

Should I have the right to have keep plutonium ? I think nuclear weapons will protect me.. maybe I should get an atomic gun to carry around.
