"We stop being something to be proud of when we love our guns more than we love our children"

[Thinkingabout]

102. It seems these weapons are already in the hands of some who clearly does not need them.

I do not think the regular civilian does not need weapons of war and this is clearly where they are required. The gun industry is not capable of regulating the industry and is indeed a big part of the problem. The gun owners does not provide safe storage of the weapons allowing them to fall into hands of criminals and perhaps even family members not disciplined enough to control their emotions to have the weapons. Guns are being sold to people who clearly does not have discipline to be in control of the weapons. In recent weeks some who claim to be trainers in firearms sure has not displayed sensible discipline to ever handle weapons. And thus the need to regulate weapons of war.
The industry has displayed actions which will probably result in regulation. A father pointing his new weapon at two family members because of bad grades surely was not protecting his family. Why has gun owners been incapable of handling the weapons sensibly I do not know but when innocent American citizens are attacked action needs to happen.
