First of all logic is subjective. My view of logical gun control is based upon firearms education, background checks, safety, and cheap prices. Education is above all. States that wanted to lower the level of gun violence and accidents all saw a drop in such problems after requiring that people pass safety courses to get their guns. I do not support licensing since it basically says that gun ownership is not a right and that it is a privilege. It also makes it difficult for law abiding citizen to obtain a firearm. I believe that once a safety course has been passed that you merely need to present when purchasing a firearm before a quick background check to make sure you aren't loony or a felon. Safety when storing weapons and ammo is important. If my kids are home alone with my guns i want them to be locked up until they are of age and have demonstrated to me that they can be around firearms and then they were to go for their firearms ed course, I would let them have access to those guns. However, I do not believe that you need to keep a lock on your firearms while you are present in the home. If you wish to walk around your property with a gun, do so. If you wish to sleep with a gun by your bed at night, do so. But if you leave firearms at home I believe that they should be locked up. This also prevents burglars from taking your guns if you are away (How are you going to shoot the burglar if he stole your gun num nuts?). Another thing I would support is lowering the prices of guns and ammo instead of trying to reap tax money out of it and creating a market in which illegal arms and ammunition could be bought for cheaper.
I also support the abolishment of Castle Law. Just because someone is on your property does not give you the right to shoot them for the merely lack of consent to be on your property. I do not believe that you should be allowed to shoot a fleeing assailant or burglar. The only time I believe that you should be able to use deadly force is when your life or another person's life is in danger from a direct threat. If I happened upon a burglar and I had a gun I would not shoot him. I will do what the police would do, make an arrest, a citizens arrest to be exact. But, that is only if they are unarmed. If they are armed, they would be asked to drop their weapon, and surrender. If they are armed or unarmed and attempt to attack me, I would then shoot. If they tried to flee my home I would order them to stop but I would not shoot. This is logic. If the police can not shoot unarmed and/or fleeing felons then why should you be able to shoot them?
As a law major, and an ex high school JSA speaker that defeated 5 different bills that would have increased gun control, I am well aware that all citizens have the right to keep and bear arms but I also know that the tenth amendment guarantees that the states have the right to control anything outside of the federal government's jurisdiction (Taxes, commerce, immigration). Gun control is based upon necessity, not the EVERYONE NEEDS A GUN TO GET RID OF CRIME HERP DERP. You dont think I can see through the NRA? The more guns there are, the more shooters there are, the more members they get, the more money they make. They have created a militant, illogical, and overconfident constituency that generally can not see past their own nose when it comes to gun control. Ive heard all of these god damn arguments and ive been shooting for the past 13 years.
Guns get rid of crime? - Not necessarily. Go to Somalia, and then talk to me.
Gun control makes people safer? - Go to california, look at the gang violence, and then come talk to me.
Guns make more crime? - Go to Maine, where you don't even need ID to buy guns and ammo, and then come talk to me.
The arguments between the two extremes are merely pure and utter bovine excrement, just as this board is. I make one post and automatically im a troll that knows nothing right? Let me know when you are tired of gun control and violence and maybe ill consider letting you have my train of thought which is that of Safety, Freedom, and Low Prices. Why will I have to consider? Well it seems thats you cant makes decisions for yourself so I will have to discuss it with an old party known as the NRA since they seem to be pretty set on making your decisions for you.
