(54,770 posts)they actually hunt and are irrationally paranoid. Someone on a farm, probably needs something for varmits, etc. But, we are talking only a few guns AT HOME and they need to be kept under lock.
No pistol or rifle should hold more than 6 cartridges and all new gun production should have fixed clips/magazines. Older guns would have to be modified to disable removable magazines.
There should be almost no public toting. By golly, if you are too afraid to walk down the street without a gun, you are probably a danger to society when carrying.
Ammo purchases should be restricted and monitored.
As funny as it sounds, I think we could all but stop gun proliferation by an idea proposed this morning which would require guns to be pink and ammo designed to make a wussy sound when fired. If you feel you absolutely need one gun for home defense, you can have a pink one that makes a wimpy sound.

I think we would be better off without any guns and would support that if practical. I just don't think there is a chance in the world that will pass anytime soon.
I'm more about preventing another 10 million new guns per year to end up on the street, toting, and banning or converting so-called "assualt weapons" so that the weapons will not embolden killers, intimidators, militia groups, white wing racists, and fools who can't imaging life without a house full of guns and one or two strapped to their body even when they are just taking the grandkids to Chuck E Cheeze.
