6. I'll take a shot at it

Just so you know where I come from, I have a healthy fear of guns. The first time I held a shot gun I was shaking. I had to be reminded on not pointing it in the wrong place, using safety, etc. I have only shot skeet a few times, lol I suck! Because of my experience I have a healthy respect for my friends who do use and handle guns safely. It is not duck soup.

I don't know anything about the guns in the pictures, but I would like to answer you from a broad perspective. I personally believe the public safety issue comes down to what the government has a right to do in terms of reasonable restrictions to keep us safe. For me 2 kinds of controls make sense:

1). Limiting the number of rounds in a magazine for guns that can be owned/held anywhere. They should be reasonable in light of normal hunting / personal usage. There is a big difference between 6 rounds and 30.

2). For high volume magazine use or guns that only use high volume magazines, put reasonable restrictions on where the guns / high volume magazines can be used and stored, e.g., hunt clubs, gun clubs, etc. You might even have special permits to carry high volume magazines outside these places during specific hunting seasons if those guns are normally used for that period. Or special permits that include heightened screening / safety classes.

I see the guns issue as I do most others. While I may not like them, it is not my position, nor should it be the government's position to unreasonably restrict them for those that don't.

Will be interested to hear what others think.
