My basic positions on gun rights/control

[soccer1]

33. I agree..most people are generally good

I guess my basic question is this concerning issues of gun control: If the argument is that the bad guys will always have access to weapons then what is the point of any regulations at all other than age regulations. Waiting periods for handguns? ......they prevent immediate access for self protection and suicides,murder/ suicides will find a way to kill themselves and others with them. Ban military grade weapons, ammo, etc.?.....why bother regulate, because the bad guys will still get them and people want to own them for sport. Background checks.?.....bad guys buy privately or they pass the background check. Want to own a gun, then go for training?....it's too expensive, it's inconvenient and interferes with my 2nd amendment right to own a gun. Regulate concealed carry and open carry so that only those with a proven "need" can get a permit?....who has the right to pass judgement on why I want to carry,open or concealed.

I'm not one to shy away from trying to find remedies for complicated issues, but the gun laws are so complicated and the gulf between the "vision" of pro gun control groups and those who resist controls is so great that I really don't see any way to enact meaningful regulations throughout the 50 states. Can't even go to many national parks without being surrounded by people bearing arms. Nuts, IMO.

No wonder politicians steer clear of this issue. Thanks for listening...I'm done now.
