Subject: Gun Control - I am...

I'm an Anarchist. I don't need a government to be a good person, but I'm glad it's here because some of you clearly do.

Edit:
It's unfortunate that the poll questions are so limited by characters. The poll is flawed.

I was trying to figure out how many people here have any proper training with firearms and if there's any correlation between actual experience and stance on gun control, but the limited characters have led me to make a flawed poll. The results are botched.


There's been an increase in gun-control related discussion, and a lot of people seem to believe they have the proper knowledge and experience to make decisions on this matter.

In many cases, I find myself reading opinions and wondering "Does this person actually know anything about firearms?"

I feel as if I've stumbled into a conversation about military infantry life, held by what seems to be a handful of college kids.

Please do not send me group invites.

I'm anti innocent people being shot.

Sometimes, I dream about cheese.

I would like guns to be in control of the person that has them.



Sentient firearms would not go very well for any of us.

Three replies, and thus far it seems like nobody has read the OP. Way to prove my point.

I'm entirely in favor of long waiting periods, stringent testing and mental/family screening.

I do think that the right people should have guns.


I'm not exactly sure what all the options mean, so I didn't vote.

This.

Well, I don't know your deeper ideas on the topic, but w/e.

Guys, guns aren't the true problem here. Sure, they're deadly, but the crazy people are getting them without any real sort of background check or psychological testing.

There are a few polls on Huffpost you might want to check out.

Key

What do you mean by "with proper training"?

And we can see how good is working, right?

I say, no guns for civilians, and whoever posseses one, have a very heavy penalty.

I'm pro-control. I firmly believe guns should be regulated the same as cars. Each gun purchased should be kept on record. A written test and a practical test should be mandatory before being able to purchase a gun. Health requirements should be required. Renewals and inspections, such as health and psych examinations, should be required every 1-4 years. You should have a fairly clean criminal record before becoming eligable for purchasing a gun. I'm willing to go as far as state funding for the health and psych exams and even gun training.

Hard for me to say we should limit guns I can use, when the government gives them away to the criminals.
