Do you favor or oppose passing stricter gun control laws?

[NYFelon]

The only gun law that should be on the books is "don't shoot anyone or anything, except in self defense, defense of another, or of the Constitution; while hunting, or practicing for one of the above."

[strike]All other gun laws should be stricken from the books....I can dream, can't I [/strike]

You can pretty much lock it up right here folks.

Do you advocate your physician turning your private medical history over to the FBI for inclusion in a NICS check?

Who said anything about turning over an entire medical history? It's real simple, if you require mind-altering prescriptions to be "normal", you go onto a list.

Who determines "Normal"?

Do you drink, Sir? Ever taken a prescription medication that had any kind of warning involving physical or mental side effects? Tylenol PM perhaps?

If so, I believe you meet your own qualifications for the list.

Be careful what you ask for, Sir. Your fears and prejudices have you advocating yet more intrusions and restrictions on what is supposed to be a free country.

Soooo, if a person is normal, they could be on medications?

We have sex ed/drug ed in schools why do we not teach firearm safety. I was never in ROTC but they do this with their pellet rifle stuff in high school?

The more i consider it tho im sure since public schools are very liberal they would **** it up and demonize inanimate objects.

My son can safely clear a weapon at the age of 10. Those that he has the strength for anyways. He can still tell if they are loaded or not otherwise. I consider that a valuable life skill that may save him or another kid someday.

Pretending guns to exist to kids leaves them ignorant making any unsupervised interaction with them much more dangerous. I would liken it to not teaching your teenager safe driving then tossing them into the car in the middle of a icestorm chances of a bad day greatly increase.

That's a great idea so long as you have the right people training and/ or teaching.

There goes many Vets that have come home and are coming home with PTSD. I've known a couple dozen in the past 10 years that have come home and been put on something for at least 6 months to a year, some have been on closer to a decade than to a year.

This whole topic makes me laugh any time someone brings it up. For as much love of the 2nd Amendment we have around here, there is a pretty surprising number of people that would have no problem with more restrictions because they're far too concerned with the choices other people MIGHT make.

I think the gun laws for purchasing are good enough. A criminal will get a gun, one way or another. The one place I think there should be a bit more steps to get something is a carry permit. I think at least a one day class in safety and other things should be taken to get a carry permit.

^^ This. Although I've obtained my LTCH without any training (yet), it seems logical that at least a one day course is in order. Before I was issued my motorcycle endorsement back in the day, I had to take the ABATE course, which included both class work and actual riding on a bike.

You should see the section on a NY forum I'm on. They're cool with may issue permits, banning just about anything, and discriminating against anyone they can think of for the most miniscule reasons, except of course, for them. They passed a law January 30th 2012 prohibiting persons disqualified by 18 USC 922 for owning any blackpowder or muzzleloading weapon. This too was a knee-jerk reactionary response to the actions of two knuckleheads that used their muzzleloaders to commit crimes.

So, even with all the animosity they recognize wisdom, even from the Japanese.
