Here is when I bought my first gun

257. I am not for taking away guns

Not even the civilian versions of the AR-15. In some ways, the AR-15 is not as deadly as grandpa's 30 06. In some ways my .22 is more deadly because I can carry a lot more rounds of ammo on me.

I am for real serious regulations of the transfer of these guns, aimed at keeping them out of the hands of criminals and crazies.

That is going to require registration and tracking ownership of the weapons, and a requirement that you lock your weapons away. You can get a strong box with a combination lock that can be opened in a few seconds. If you want to sell your weapon or give it away you should have to get the assistance of an FFL dealer to handle the paperwork. The recipient should be tested to make sure they understand the law and the responsibilities. As it is now I can sell or give my rifle to any resident of my state that tells me they can legally own it. If I'm smart, I get a bill of sale in case the weapon is used in a crime, so I can back up my claim that I don't own it any more. But that is not a requirement.

I do not nor will not support the NRA. Just another person living out in the country.
