My thoughts on Gun Control…

[Clames]

9. Well...

Why in this day and age do I feel that if you have a gun you live more in fear than I do...someone who does not have a gun at all?

No idea. Irrational thoughts are very difficult to explain.

#1. I would increase the cost of bullets.

Which would accomplish what? You probably haven't paid much attention but ammo prices have increased considerably. Doesn't do anything to affect crime though.

#2. I would have a strenuous background check and a LONG AS HELL waiting period. If you REALLY want to shoot something you can wait.

You've probably never even looked at a 4473 and waiting periods do nothing.

#3. Provide more insight into modifications to weapons and find out what the society should have and determine what is best to make it so we can reduce deaths.

What modifications do you think are going on? Society should have? Pretty sure society already makes that determination without regards to the laws. See: marijuana.

#4. Increase training in gun violence across the board. From little children to high schoolers, to college students as well as suicide awareness and implement more psychology into classrooms making it not as an elective, but more of a thing so kids can help recognize potential warning signs for those who might want to shoot something up.

Good points. Many here advocate for more classroom education on firearms.

#5. This one is something that was talked about in an earlier thread: Parenting. Parents need to be able to know to LOCK UP their damn guns and ammo.

Parenting is at the root of most issues. Can't mandate good parenting though.

To know that a GUN HAS ONE PURPOSE: TO KILL. It’s not something that you "point" at your friends with or show off because its "cool". It’s a weapon.

My guns have killed nothing. Ever. The rest gets back to education and parenting.

#6. Make it so when you buy it online it has to be even HARDER than it is to buy it face to face. This was what led to many recent tragedies and at the same time...part of the problem recently is media coverage. That is why instances like this one mentioned is simply a copycat but on a way lower scale.

Do you even know what is required to buy a firearm online? A background check and a FFL transfer unless it's a C&R. So yes, it is harder to buy online rather than going straight to the dealer because you have to arrange for the receiving FFL to provide their credentials to the seller.

No, what we need is more of a mixed approach and arming teachers which was mentioned by the NRA is not the answer. We do need more of a presence at schools yes, but it should be in the form of thinking we are a 1st world country...not the Wild West.

AWB's and banning online ammo purchases aren't the answer either. The Wild West you have in mind only exists in Hollywood.
