Quote from: Anglosaxophone on May 01, 2017, 05:21:26 AMYes.Gun culture is the most cancerous thing to come out of burgerland. I would have more respect for gun fags if they just buck up and admit they don't want stringent regulations because they like guns. Trying to use tenuous arguments like "protection" will never work because time and time again unrestricted gun access has proven to make communities less safe, not more.How is protection a tenuous argument? There are old men who have defended their homes from thugs because they had a pistol. Without that they would've been st their mercy until the police showed up.

Imagine, this was in the 90's when gun control wasn't that big of a thing.

I mean... the late 80s saw the Hughes amendment and then the early 90's Clinton's assault weapons ban happened.But wasn't the assault weapons ban after the riots?

For example, those who are mentally handicapped and those previously convicted of felonies shouldn't be allowed to own a gun.I don't think anybody disputes that.Somewhat relevant, but Trump very quietly turned back measures put in place by Obama to keep the mentally ill from obtaining firearms. No media coverage, no announcements, just a slight mention at the bottom of a White House press release.http://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/trump-signs-bill-revoking-obama-era-gun-checks-people-mental-n727221Go Donald.

If you're gonna get a firearm, you should be required to take a safety course (don't ask me how long) on proper usage, and storage of the gun. Too many times you see incidents where guns are mishandled or stored poorly.Training and licensing requirements are really just ways to disenfranchise a whole underprivileged socioeconomic class of their right to firearms ownership because of either cost or time barriers, as they may not have the proper times open in their daily schedule because of wage slaving all day or they could lack the means to effectively transport themselves to and from the classes.Wanna know my rebuttal to that?If they can do it with voting via ID's which is the same as you described to the same class of people, they can do it with guns.
