20 Good Reasons to push for Gun Control - Can't be refuted

[The Straight Story]

39. Interesting

When my dad was a boy they had rifle/gun classes in school (as far as I know it was for the boys only, but don't quote me on that).

Hunters already need a license and in some states safety courses (depending on age IIRC).

I don't currently own a gun but would eventually like to have a few since I hope to be living out in the country in the next year and I do enjoy target shooting (my sister has 7 acres and we shoot clay pigeons there, etc). At her house they are locked up and not something people use on a regular basis except during hunting season (and we always have plenty of deer meat and sometimes a turkey).

Most people do not use their guns to harm others. I can see getting a license and a training course for first purchase.

I used to work in the gun reloading industry and sold reloading dies and such all over the world (including South Africa, Italy, Germany, Australia and even the UK). Many gun hobbyists out there who, like the rest of us, don't like people using guns for anything other than hunting, skeet, and defense if warranted.
