47. I disagree. You must be from an area where guns are just bad things. I grew up around

guns. They are used for hunting and protection without incident, almost always.

I understand that people want to blame someTHING. But IMO, it's the person.

You just don't understand what an "exhaustive pschological exam" means. It's impossible to do that to begin with, unless you're in the national security business, and secondly, you'd end up with a lot of little stories & facts and trivia, so it would be totally subjective as to who would qualify to be able to buy a gun or not. I, someone without psych. problems but maybe had a suicide attempt 30 years ago might not be able to buy a gun, but someone who successfully defended a domestic abuse charge would be able to. It would be totally up to the gun seller. It also would revert to paying bribes, or knowing someone. And criminals. Criminals will always have guns.

I have a gun for protection. I think it's a right to be able to buy another gun for protection, if I want to.

There have recently been a couple of murders in the news. The weapons were a hammer and a bat. Should we make those weapons illegal? Or was it the people, maybe, who used those items to kill people that are to blame?
